Mt. Rainier is the focal point of this 337-square-mi national park. The Nisqually entrance brings you into the southwest corner of the park, where you'll find the historic Longmire District. The most popular destination in the park, Paradise, is located in the park's southern region, and Ohanapecosh, the Grove of Patriarchs, and Tipsoo Lae are in the southeastern corner. Mount Rainier National Park's eastern and northern areas are dominated by wilderness.
