Background

 November is the month to change from Pacific Daylight (Savings) Time (PDT) to Pacific Standard Time (PST), which happens on November 7th at 2:00 am. The times in the table below reflects this change.

Below is a table for sunrise and sunset and moonrise and moonset for Paradise, Mt. Rainier NP. For the month of November 2010 and the azimuth of sunrise and sunset, the sunrise moves south from 111 to 122 degree true north, which is east-southeast to southeastward, and sunset moves south from 249 to 238 degrees true north, which is west-southwest to southwestward during the month, respectively.

The table of moonrise and moonset azimuth for Seattle is available for November 2010. The difference between Seattle (shown in table) and Mt. Rainier is relatively minor and can be adjusted in the field.

Sun and Moon times

Please note that while the sun/moon rise and set times are correct, the light and actual visibility of sunrise and sunset varies due to Mt. Rainier itself, sun/moonrise later on the west side and sun/moonset earlier on the east side. In addition the local terrain around your location will change the light and actually visibility of each.

Resources

Below are some Web-based calculators for sunrise/sunset, moonrise/moonset and sunrise/sunset azimuth. For what it's worth, knowing your exact location in the NP isn't that critical as you can use the calculation for Seattle, Washington to be sufficient close to make any minor adjustments in the field. Otherwise, Paradise is 46.77 ° north 121.73 ° west and the crest of Mt. Rainier is 46.85 ° north and 121.76 ° west for exact calculations.
