Missed Your Mount Rainier Passport Stamp?

Missing a Mount Rainier National Park Cancellation? You Are Not Alone.

Mount Rainier National Park Passport Cancellation Stamps

Mount Rainier National Park has passport cancellation stamps at the Henry M. Jackson Visitor Center at Paradise, the Longmire Museum near the Nisqually entrance, the Sunrise Visitor Center (summer only), and the Ohanapecosh Visitor Center in the southeast corner. Each area may carry a different cancellation stamp design — some of these qualify as secret national park cancellation stamps since most visitors only visit Paradise.

A missing national park cancellation from Mount Rainier is common because the Paradise area draws over two million visitors annually, and the parking lot often fills before 10 AM on summer weekends. If you hiked the Skyline Trail or photographed wildflower meadows, you may have spent your entire visit outdoors without entering the visitor center. The Sunrise Visitor Center is only open July through September and closes when the road becomes impassable due to snow.

About Mount Rainier

State: Washington · Established: 1899 · Size: 236,381 acres · Iconic landmark: Mount Rainier

Mount Rainier towers over the landscape of western Washington, an immense glacier-clad volcano that is the most heavily glaciated peak in the contiguous United States. Rising to 14,410 feet, its snowy summit dominates the horizon for a hundred miles and beckons mountaineers to one of the great climbing challenges in North America. But the park is beloved most for its subalpine wildflower meadows, which explode into color each summer at places like Paradise and Sunrise, framed by the glowing white mountain above. Ancient old-growth forests, thundering waterfalls, and cold rivers fed by the mountain's glaciers fill the lower slopes. More than 90 percent of the park is protected wilderness, laced with trails including the famous Wonderland Trail that encircles the peak. Majestic and ever-present, Rainier is an icon of the Pacific Northwest.
