Sun and Moon times

Note.-- Please note that while the sun/moon rise and set times are correct, the light and actual visibility of sunrise and sunset varies due to Mt. Rainier itself, sun/moonrise later on the west side and sun/moonset earlier on the east side. In addition the local terrain around your location will change the light and actually visibility of each.

Note.-- April is the month for a Lunar Eclipse the night of the 14-15th.

Resources

Below are some Web-based calculators for sunrise/sunset, moonrise/moonset and sunrise/sunset azimuth. For what it's worth, knowing your exact location in the NP isn't that critical as you can use the calculation for Seattle, Washington to be sufficient close to make any minor adjustments in the field. Otherwise, Paradise is 46.77 ° north 121.73 ° west and the crest of Mt. Rainier is 46.85 ° north and 121.76 ° west for exact calculations.
