Nearly 100 park lovers joined us for our 2026 Return to Paradise and raised more than $280,000 for the parks — thank you!
Return to Paradise is our annual spring fundraising event that takes place the night before the Inn opens to the public. This event gives park supporters a special opportunity to see the park from a new perspective and features a program with park superintendents, Live Auction, and Raise the Paddle – all to raise funds to support critical park projects in Mount Rainier, North Cascades, and Olympic National Parks.
Registration for this event includes an overnight stay at Paradise Inn, WNPF-led hikes and activities in the park, dinner and dessert on Friday evening, breakfast buffet on Saturday morning, and an optional WNPF donation.
