The Nisqually Road in Mount Rainier National Park will be temporarily closed for a short time today. The road is expected to be closed from about 9:30-11 a.m.
The closure is necessary for visitor safety while park staffers remove some hazardous trees along the roadway in the Twin Firs area between Kautz Creek and Longmire.
The roadway will remain open west of Kautz Creek and east from Longmire to Paradise during this period.
