Temporary Road Closure, Mt. Rainier National Park.

Press Relase:

The park road from Longmire to Paradise will remain closed to the public
today, January 23.  This is due to expanded air operations in the Paradise
area related to the ongoing search for four hikers/climbers who have been
missing for over a week. Weather conditions today are conducive to
conducting this aerial search, but this window of opportunity will likely
not last beyond today.  All available park and local resources are being
used to focus on this search.
