Super fun, informative, and engaging guide. We stopped at plenty of amazing spots along the way, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. Highly recommend this tour!

5.00This was an incredible experience. The driver James is a friendly genuine man who told us stories and gave us laughter, but also very knowledgeable and passionate. The nature was stunning and tranquil, more surprisingly we got to see so much snow! The towns we drove through had some interesting history and grand to see some old school America.
Great experience for...

5.00Great experience for friends, coworkers, spouses, or solo travelers. James was super knowledgable about the park and knew all the highlights to hit along the way. Definitely pack warm dry clothes, it’s Rainier after all. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get out of the city for a day.
