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.

It was my first time on Mount Rainier. Unfortunately, it was cloudy and I couldn't see the whole mountain, but I was able to enjoy the clear mountain air, the beautiful green of the coniferous forest and moss, and the mysterious atmosphere. Our guide, Evan S.'s explanations about the mountain and his hospitality were wonderful, and I was able to feel truly refreshed. I would like to visit again in the summer.

Thank you for choosing to travel with Evergreen! I'm sorry to hear you didn't get to see the whole mountain but the beauty of this area is that even in the clouds it is still so so magnificent. I'm glad you had a great day on Rainier and we'd love to host you in the Summer! Best, Jazmin Evergreen Escapes | Seattle, WA
