Is this recent? Going for the first time mid November!

Yesterday. I wouldn't expect to get this view in November though. There's a good chance this area will be covered in snow, although we had some crazy hot weather recently (over 80F today in Seattle!) so who knows...

In general, July/August/September are the best, though snow can linger well into July if winter had a lot of snow. Before July most likely it will be snow covered.

Most of the foliage coloring will be gone, snow up at paradise and limited visibility likely, but theres always a chance for a clear day!

Howdy! I am planning future road trip to Mt R and coming north from Stevenson. Which road is better, closer to Mt Saint Helen's, or Mt Adam's? they both converge in a small town south of Mt Ranier. Thanks for any insight.

I've only driven the roads that I think you talk about once. They are all paved. But, as far as I remember, the road that goes closer to St Helens had a lot of dips, bumps (not potholes), was narrow and was partially overgrown. I don't remember the road closer to Mt Adams so I assume it was better.

Maybe you should ask this question at r/Washington as a separate post to get more visibility.

Right on, and thanks!

That looks so cool! Awesome fall colors

I was just there

I want to hike up that trail soooooooo badly!

I’d love to hike this, but i have never been. Which trail is it?

Dead horse creek trail, parallel to Skyline trail

The trail in the photo is not actually an official trail. People just wander wherever and create these scars. They should stay on official trails. Otherwise, there will be no plants which makes this view so pretty.

Sweet, thanks for the names 👍🏻

Oh that sucks, the forbidden trail!! Makes me want it more, but respectfully I wouldn't :D

It's more about preserving the fragile ecosystem so everyone can enjoy its beauty. If everyone is walking wherever just to get that perfect Instagram shot, there would be no plants, just dust. Lower portions of Paradise area are in a pretty bad shape from people not respecting the rules.
