Sunrise Campground Trail is a short, easy hike in Mount Rainier National Park in Washington, managed by the National Park Service. The route is about a mile long and is an out-and-back, with a total climb of about 185 feet. The trail starts at roughly 6,314 feet and reaches a high point of about 6,356 feet, with the steepest stretch around 0.45 miles in. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs in the low 60s, with lows in the mid-40s. That station sits nearly 900 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. A fee is charged for the hike. Sunrise Rim and Sourdough Ridge Access are both about 0.3 miles away, and Huckleberry Creek is about 0.4 miles away.
