What To Expect

Seattle

Mount Rainier stands as an icon in the Washington landscape. Mount Rainier, also known as Tacoma, is the highest mountain of the Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest, and the highest mountain in the state of Washington. Mount Rainier is an active volcano and has the most glaciated peak in the United States. It spawns five major rivers, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round. When snow melts, water flows down in a large volume, and gives Rainier National Park the best waterfalls, vast lakes, and the lush green forests.

Once a ranger office, the building now houses historic exhibits about the park's natural and geological history, and animals. This small museum offers a good historical overview of the park, the Longmire family, and the Native Americans who once traveled through this area. You'll also find old photographs, and displays of local plants and animals. It's worth a quick stop.

Narada Falls

Paradise is also the primary winter-use area in the park, receiving on average 643 inches (53.6 feet/16.3 meters) of snow a year.

Ray, our tour guide, was very nice. I would have appreciated a little more info on Mt. Rainier during the ride. And although it’s out of his control, it was annoying that other members of our group weren’t punctual in returning to the van - as late as 10-15 min. Very inconsiderate. If you choose to do a group tour, please be considerate of other peoples’ time; otherwise, drive yourself there.

DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE FOR THIS TOUR especially if you are getting the guide Jason! The guide didn't tell us anything about the places we visited, just drove us around! Accent was not at all comprehendible and it seemed he was only giving a private tour to those who spoke Chinese! While we felt cheated as tourists wanting to know a little about Mt Rainier, his driving was even worse! Sudden brakes and turns at full speed while driving in the mountain region, we did not feel safe sitting in his bus! His attitude was ignorant towards us and extremely poor communication for a tour guide! When we asked him to open the doors of the bus so we could sit inside, he went on to click pictures of his own and came back as per his will! We had a small child with us and had to wait outside till he finished his photography session! Slamming the doors, chit-chatting loudly and on the phone while driving! EXTREMELY POOR SERVICE and if possible I would prefer to give a negative rating than even 1 star! If you are not able to find an organized tour, I suggest you rather rent a car and go yourself. Might turn out to be a more memorable trip.
