Itinerary
Stroll through the old-growth forests near Longmire and experience waterfalls and big mountain views as you wind to higher elevations.
Short walk to a postcard view of Christine Falls.
Several waterfalls are accessible by foot along the route up the mountain! Narada Falls is one of our favorites.
In the summer, pick wild berries on a sub-alpine hiking trail. In the winter, take advantage of Paradise’s legendary snowfall (and the winter solitude) on an introductory snowshoe trail.
Paradise is home to a world-class visitor's center with interpretive information on the National Park.
An impressive waterfall in the midst of Paradise's iconic meadows, Myrtle Falls is at the end of an easily walkable trail with almost constant views of Mt Rainier's peak.
A possible stop near Paradise, Reflection Lakes are renowned for the postcard views of Mt Rainier over the mirror-like lake.
A historic area of Mt Rainier National Park, Longmire is home to its museum, bubbling mineral springs, and trails meandering through the surrounding old-growth forest. The museum is a great stop for souvenirs, cocoa, and a quick bathroom break.
Giant old-growth spruce trees clustered around bubbling mineral springs and views of Mt. Rainier's peak make this short loop trail a favorite among groups visiting the park.
Another favorite in the Longmire Area, Twin Firs boasts massive trees that tower over visitors.
Pass by: Experience views of the mountain peak throughout your day. Mt Rainier can be seen from many of our stops.
Pass by: We'll drop you off where we picked you up, or a nearby preferred location.

Wanting the perfect tour? This is it!
Great tour of Mt. Rainier. Megan, our guide, was very informative and quite knowledgeable. We had 6 on our tour - perfect number. We stopped for coffee and snack, (included) and had a nice lunch after a couple of hikes. This is a perfect option if you are wanting a smaller number in the traveling party. We had beautiful weather and blue skies.
