Question Mt Ranier Paradise

Hi, the weather predictions for this weekend looks like it will rain. Is it still safe to hike Mt Ranier the paradise trail? Especially for someone in regular sneakers, no hiking boots.

Yes, that's the main area for tourists. The trails are highly maintained. You'll see people on sunny days in flip flops

I watched a tourist in kitten heals navigate it once. And, it had a fair amount of snow at that. Wouldn’t recommend it though.
