Best of Mount Rainier National Park from Seattle: All-Inclusive Small-Group Tour

Best of Mount Rainier National Park from Seattle: All-Inclusive Small-Group Tour

Overview

No two tours with Evergreen Escapes are the same! Our guides craft itineraries that reflect the best of what the Park has to offer that day, including group interests and dynamics. Please note that the itinerary outlined is a SAMPLE of potential destinations that could be included in the tour.

Experience Mount Rainier's highlights on a day tailored to you. Our TripAdvisor "Hall of Fame" guides run the only day tours permitted to explore more than a mile from the park road as the National Park is ecologically important & delicate. The U.S. Park Service restricts other tour companies - our competitors offer "road tours." We are professional nature educators (not just bus drivers) that have dedicated our lives to artful travel.

Our all-inclusive small-group day trip is limited to just 10 travelers.

What To Expect

Mount Rainier National Park

Stroll through the old-growth forests near Longmire and experience waterfalls and big mountain views as you wind to higher elevations.

Christine Falls Viewpoint

Short walk to a postcard view of Christine Falls.

Narada Falls

Several waterfalls are accessible by foot along the route up the mountain! Narada Falls is one of our favorites.

Paradise Valley

In the summer, pick wild berries on a sub-alpine hiking trail. In the winter, take advantage of Paradise’s legendary snowfall (and the winter solitude) on an introductory snowshoe trail.

Henry M. Jackson Visitor Center

Paradise is home to a world-class visitor's center with interpretive information on the National Park.

Myrtle Falls

An impressive waterfall in the midst of Paradise's iconic meadows, Myrtle Falls is at the end of an easily walkable trail with almost constant views of Mt Rainier's peak.

Reflection Lakes

A possible stop near Paradise, Reflection Lakes are renowned for the postcard views of Mt Rainier over the mirror-like lake.

Longmire Museum

A historic area of Mt Rainier National Park, Longmire is home to its museum, bubbling mineral springs, and trails meandering through the surrounding old-growth forest. The museum is a great stop for souvenirs, cocoa, and a quick bathroom break.

Trail of the Shadows

Giant old-growth spruce trees clustered around bubbling mineral springs and views of Mt. Rainier's peak make this short loop trail a favorite among groups visiting the park.

Twin Firs Loop Trail

Another favorite in the Longmire Area, Twin Firs boasts massive trees that tower over visitors.

Mount Rainier

Experience views of the mountain peak throughout your day. Mt Rainier can be seen from many of our stops.

I had an incredible experience on the Mount Rainier day trip excursion! I learned so much. Traveling solo I was a little nervous but the guide helped me feel completely at ease and comfortable throughout. All the details were so well planned and executed: punctuality, safety, adapting to unpredictable weather and individual needs of guests. So glad I went on this trip! Thank you!

This was a wonderful way to experience the natural beauty of Mount Rainer and the surrounding area. I was staying downtown, with no car and found the pick up option to be extremely convenient. Our tour guide was wonderful! I couldn’t have asked for a better group to jump into solo and explore with. The food provided was delicious, everyone kept commenting on how good it was. I would absolutely recommend this tour.

I cannot recommend this tour enough! Brent was fantastic and provided excellent paths and knowledge throughout the guide. Booking was easy, equipment for snowshoeing was provided, and snacks throughout the trip. Your tour guide also picks/drops you off and sets up drinks and lunch. My only recommendation would be to change up the lunch or bring your own if you're on the picky side!
