5.00I couldn't have been happier with this tour of Mt. Rainier National Park. The tour was really well planned out, got to see several sites around the park and the weather was beautiful - well worth a full day (~11 hrs) roundtrip! The group was a mix of solo and groups with a total of 12 people and one tour guide. Chris (the tour guide) was AMAZING!!! He know all the right spots for photos and helped to keep everything moving with plenty of free time to do some light hiking.
great
