Campfires Banned at Mount Rainier

Mount Rainier National Park is banning all campfires starting Friday, June 26th—no wood, briquettes, or open flames in fire pits or grills—to prevent human-caused wildfires amid record dry conditions and heat waves. The ban covers all campgrounds, including the currently open Cougar Rock, while Ohanepecosh remains closed for construction. Campers can still cook using portable stoves fueled by propane or butane, as long as they’re easily shutoff. If you spot smoke or flames, call 911 or find a ranger immediately. Stay safe this summer.
