Henry M. Jackson Visitor Center

Paradise is famous for its glorious views and wildflower meadows. When James Longmire's daughter-in-law, Martha, first saw this site, she exclaimed, "Oh, what a paradise!" The park's main visitor center, the new Paradise Jackson Visitor Center, is located in the upper parking area. Paradise is also the prime winter-use area in the park, receiving on average 643 inches (53.6 feet/16.3 meters) of snow a year. Winter activities include snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and tubing.

Rustic / massive / stone & timber. This is totally cool, on the mountain with an amazing view and great museum and gift store upstairs. Go here and talk to park rangers to plan your hike.

Helpful folks here who have rangers that will suggest trails to walk. They also have a cafeteria inside so you can grab a bite to eat. I expected less because we were up in the mountains but it felt like I was in the city because this place proves high standards for a visitors center! I learned a lot about the seasons of the meadows and where not to go if I didn't wanna hit snow.
