It was such a great experience! The views were absolutely stunning, and even with snow on parts of the route, everything felt safe and well-organized. The transportation was arranged the day of and went smoothly. Our guide was great and made the trip fun and informative. Definitely a memorable day!

hiking up the snow covered mountains, picnicking between the snow covered trees, seeing the waterfalls and river beds. A more spacious van would be better with higher roof, also it would help to have narration via the vehicle speakers as his voice alone doesn't carry to passengers in the rear.

Full description

Start your day trip with a pickup in downtown Seattle in the morning and then drive for two hours to Mt. Rainier National Park. See all the highlights of the park throughout the day. Follow your guide to view glaciers, waterfalls, rivers, lakes, and tall trees in the forests.

Take in the stunning views of the glacier-covered volcano, which towers over the surrounding mountains in the Cascade Mountain Range with its 14,410-foot height - the tallest mountain in Washington. Hike with the guide for a few hours while taking in the panoramic views of Mt. Rainier and other mountains in the park. From November to June snowshoes/crampons are provided when the trails are covered with snow.
(In the winter some areas of the park are closed and some waterfalls may be frozen or not accessible and getting close to glaciers may not be possible if more roads are closed on some winter days).
