Threats
November 17, 2008--For the third time in as many years, major storms have left a flood of damage at Mount Rainier national park. The Park Service announced last week the Nisqually Entrance Road (SR706 entrance) will remain closed to the public through Friday, November 21. The Kautz creek has once again jumped its channel and is undermining the road.
Park crews will work over the next several days to assess and repair the damage. For more information on Mount Rainier road conditions, please visit here.
