Mount Rainier
We drive to Mt. Rainier National Park (2 hours) and hike from the visitor center at Paradise for about a mile where we picnic close to some giant glaciers. We then hike back for a mile and drive to viewpoints with panoramic views and we see the Narada Falls and the Christine Falls, old growth forests with a thousand year old big trees and the Reflection Lakes. In Winter and Spring seasons (November-June) we will snowshoe rather than hiking - no experience required.

5.00We had a wonderful day. It was sunny, warm and clear and the scenery was great. Views of Mount Rainier and Cascades were breathtaking. Our guide - Susan Hill - was awesome. The only drawback was the long ride - about 2.5 hours each way from Seattle.

5.00I had a wonderful time. Our tour guide Susan was absolutely the kindest and the best. Despite the weather not being the best, we were able to have a fantastic tour - it cleared up towards the end of the tour and Susan made the effort to give us extra time to catch the most beautiful moments of Mount Rainier. Susan is knowledgeable, kind, and friendly. She made it easy for our group to hang out nicely together. She even made an extra stop on our way back to make sure I get to my accommodation safely when she didn't have the obligation to do so. The van was very comfortable as well. Highly recommend!

4.00It was a nice easy way to get to Mt Rainier and even do some hiking. Our guide Susan also gave us some good tips on exploring Seattle. It was great to learn about the $10 ferry rides to Bainbridge Island.
This tour to Mount Rainier was such a wonderful experience! 🌲⛰️

5.00The natural beauty of Mount Rainier🏞️ is breathtaking — from serene lakes and alpine meadows to waterfalls and glacier views, every stop felt like stepping into a postcard. The weather was a bit cloudy, but it actually gave the mountain a mysterious, majestic vibe that made the scenery even more unforgettable. A huge thank you to our guide, Susan! She was amazing throughout the day — hiking with us, taking us to many beautiful spots, sharing stories and insights about the park, and even helping us take photos. Her energy and knowledge really added so much to the experience, and she made sure everyone felt included and comfortable along the way.
