Longmire Wilderness Information Center

Open during the summer, the Longmire Wilderness Information Center (WIC) is located in the lobby of the historic Longmire Administration Building, a picturesque example of National Park Service rustic architecture in Longmire. The WIC features a 3D model map of Mount Rainier National Park and has an information desk staffed by wilderness rangers. Rangers at the WIC assist with wilderness permits, trip planning, and providing maps and trail condition updates.

The Longmire WIC has no physical address. It is in Longmire, on the south side of the mountain, about 9 miles east of the town of Ashford on State Route 706.

The Longmire Administration Building is a two-story building near the main road as you travel through Longmire. The building is framed by tall evergreen trees and there is a small lawn with a flagpole in front. The bottom story of the building is built from large rounded boulders, while the top story is built of wood logs, with a wood shingled roof. Both stories have rows of windows with white trim. The entrance is shaded by a porch with large log beams supporting the wood-shingled porch roof. A yellow log sign reading “Mount Rainier National Park” hangs from underneath the porch roof. A gravel path leads to the entrance across the lawn. The lobby of the building, a single rustic room, is the location of the Longmire Wilderness Information Center. Directly across from the entrance doors is a fireplace built of large boulders. A wood-paneled information desk is on the right side of the room, while a large three-dimensional map of the park fills a table on the left side of the room.
