Mt. Rainier Tour and Guided Hike
Overview

This tour is unique in that you will be on guided shorter hikes in Mt. Rainier National Park. From November to June snowshoes/crampons will be provided when necessary since there is often snow on the trails in those months.
We hike a few miles throughout the day and you will experience diverse landscapes and scenery such as glaciers, mountains, waterfalls, rivers, lakes, and tall trees in old-growth forest which are all the highlights in Mount Rainier National Park.

5.00Susan was a great tour guide. She was very knowledgeable. This was a physical hike. Younger children should not go. We had a younger child in our group with his parents who were very disrespectful to the others in the groups time (making extra bathroom stops and not getting back to van at designated time). The should be an age limit and acceptable physical activity.
I had an excellent time...

5.00I had an excellent time hiking on Mt. Rainier and seeing a rainbow at Narada falls. There was still snow on Mt Rainier (in June), which was quite a surprise. Our guide did an excellent job taking us on the hike and explaining things about the national park.
Spectacular day

5.00The full day is worth it. The guide takes you to several beautiful stops in a timely matter. The hike is manageable but at times challenging. But the view is worth it. The guide helps a lot!
Unbelievable Tour!

5.00Just finished the tour and came straight here to review! It was amazing! Yes it's physical, but we were dealing with melting snow, but as a group we took our time so everyone can enjoy. The scenery is spectacular, the itinerary is jam packed and not to be missed! But of course, our guide, Susan, she was fantastic! So knowledgeable and willing to share her experiences. You can see she is passionate about the Rainier Park. Definitely DO NOT MISS THIS! It's worth it beyond words. Thank you!
