Mount Rainier National Park Luxury Small-Group Day Tour with Lunch

Overview

Explore pristine alpine meadows, wander through magical old growth forests, and watch roaring glacial waterfalls crash into rugged canyons on this small group day tour to Mount Rainier National Park. The snowcapped peak, encased in over 35 square miles (91 km²) of ice year-round, is endearingly referred to locally as “The Mountain” and is a must-visit Seattle day trip. Throughout the day, you'll enjoy meaningful commentary on the history, culture, and geology of the region from an expert local guide. The tour includes a gourmet lunch, park admission, and pick-up/drop-off at your Seattle hotel in our luxury Mercedes van.

What To Expect

Yonder Sky

Our day starts with front door pickup at your downtown Seattle or Seatac hotel or vacation rental in our luxury Mercedes van. On the way to the park, we'll stop to enjoy coffee, tea, juice, and fresh baked pastries from our favorite Seattle bakery.

Longmire

We’ll start our day at Longmire, the site of the first park headquarters and designated as a National Historic District. Here we’ll learn about the history of the Mount Rainier area, including early homesteaders, pre-National Park tourism, and the mountain’s time as America’s fifth National Park. Trails around Longmire showcase this long history and include beautiful old growth forest.

Narada Falls

This 176 foot tall waterfall is well worth the short walk!

Paradise

Famous for its gorgeous wildflower meadows, Paradise is a clear highlight of the park. Weaving paths through this alpine environment offer fantastic views of Mt. Rainier, which towers above the wildflower-filled meadows. We’ll take a one-mile (1.6 km) guided walk to Myrtle Falls, a 72 ft (22 m) waterfall tumbling into a rugged gorge in the shadow of the peak.

Paradise Valley

Your guide prepares a gourmet family-style lunch served with a selection of local beverages.

Box Canyon Loop

Imagine the powerful geological forces at work as you watch water rush through this deep slot canyon.

Grove of the Patriarchs

We’ll walk amongst giants at the Grove of the Patriarchs. This area contains some of the most spectacular old growth forest along the banks of the Ohanapecosh River. A lovely optional 2-mile (3.2 km) guided nature walk leads to some of the largest trees in the park.

We had a wonderful day seeing Mt. Rainier Nat'l Park, thanks to Yonder Sky Tours. We were picked up right in front of our downtown Seattle location and our driver/guide Daniel navigated us out of the city in a luxurious Mercedes van. We didn't have time for breakfast before the tour, so the hot coffee and pastries that were ready for us were really appreciated (and the best pastries ever!). Daniel is truly an expert on Washington history and geology and his commentary was so interesting! We saw gorgeous scenery in the park and learned so much. The picnic lunch we enjoyed in a beautiful location was like something you'd expect from a first-class lunch restaurant! I can't think of a better way to see Mt. Rainier than this tour that takes care of everything for you -- driving, food and drinks, getting into the park, knowing the best places to stop and go for walks, and learning about the area.

Daniel was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about Mt Rainier and surrounding area. I would highly recommend his company.
