Beautiful day

What a fantastic day! We were so. Lesser to have an unobstructed view of Mount Rainier for part of the day. Our guide, Mitch, was fun and gave us more than enough time at each stop to enjoy the scenery.

Mt Rainier Tour

Mt. Rainier was breathtaking from start to finish. Be ready for a lot of walking and even more chances to capture amazing photos. Mitch, our guide, made the day even better — he’s fun, kind, and clearly passionate about the mountain. He shared great stories and historical details that brought everything to life. If you’re new to Seattle or visiting for the first time, this tour is something you must experience.

You got to see many of...

You got to see many of the main attractions. Phil was our tour guide. He was knowledgeable and gave interesting facts and details of the area.

Not hiking with a guide.

The klook explained that the guide guide was supposed to lead us on the main hike, and word of mouth said that the guide had helped us take the best photos of Mount Rainier, so I thought I'd sign up for a guided tour. However, since the hike was free-for-all, I didn't know which course I'd be able to take back in time, so I just walked in vain, desperate to get back in time. It's not the guide's fault, he's wrong about the klook tour. The guide was kind. There were a number of courses, so I struggled.
