Guided hike on Mt. Rainier - old forest, falls and glacier views

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.

Pick up and drop off is in Seattle downtown.

Alternatively, pick up and drop off is near the Space Needle, if requested.

We hike about a mile near the glaciers in the area of Paradise in 5,500 feet elevation. This is also where the main visitor center is located in Mt. Rainier National Park.

We hike to the bottom of Narada Falls - 168-foot fall near Paradise.

We see the Reflection Lakes where Mt. Rainier is often reflected in the summer time. In the winter the lake is frozen and the road is closed.

We see the Christine Falls under the old stone bridge.

We walk in old-growth forest in the National Park near Longmire in lower elevation.
