Chinook and Cayuse passes have closed for the season, according to the Washington Department of Transportation.
The closure covers State Route 410 through Mount Rainier National Park and Chinook Pass.
Eastbound traffic is closed at milepost 57, Crystal Mountain Boulevard, 12 miles west of the summit. Westbound traffic is closed at milepost 74.5 Morse Creek, 5 miles east of the summit. Cayuse Pass is closed between Crystal Mountain Boulevard and Stevens Canyon Road.
These roads and mountain passes typically close for the winter sometime in mid-November each year due to hazardous driving conditions. The passes usually reopen in late May.
Drivers can get real-time traffic information on their phone with the WSDOT traffic app and get advanced information from the Cayuse and Chinook passes webpage.
