Mount Rainier Day Hike

A Walk in the Park: Friday Hiking Series 

Mount Rainier National Park is an incredibly special environment and a must-do for anyone living in or visiting Washington State. The mountain itself is the largest stratovolcano in the Cascades and most glaciated peak in the lower 48. Aside from its namesake, the park contains over 100 peaks and endless miles of trails that weave along glacier-fed rivers through old-growth forests and wildflower-laden meadows.

Our personable, professional, and knowledgeable instructors will lead you off the beaten path while sharing their knowledge and passion for local ecology and geology while ensuring your group feels safe and comfortable throughout the day.

Carpooling from the Seattle area and a packed lunch may be available for an extra charge - please let us know your needs and we will work with you to accommodate.
