Bicyclists riding Mount Rainier road before vehicle opening
BICYCLING – Mount Rainier National Park has opened the road to Sunrise to hikers and bicyclists while motor vehicles won’t be allowed on the road until July 1.
Crews are clearing snow from the road up to Sunrise. At 6,400 feet, it’s the highest point that can be reached by car at the national park.
The White River campground opens for the season on June 24.
The opportunity is similar to the motor-vehicle-free riding that lures cyclists this time of year to Glacier National Park’s Going to the Sun Road .
