Really awesome trip! Jasper was friendly and informative of the whole environment of Mount Rainier, and of some of the indigenous tribes to inhabit the region! Highlights include seeing the Nisqually River all the way to its source [glacier of same name], hiking part of the skyline trail (which gave beautiful views of the surrounding mountain/wildflower meadows), as well as Reflection Lakes to round our day on the mountain! Only qualms I have about this tour in particular was about feeling rushed at each stop along the way (as I tended to be the last one on)- as well as there being a lack of air conditioning in the small mini bus we were in all day. But these were all minor qualms, and may just be due to the nature of going in a group! Overall, this was an awesome tour to partake in, and to see a park I have always been wanting to see (and you can’t beat the price, $170!) so it was more than worth it even though we were unable to get that pie at the end of the day!

Thank you for providing Jasper with a review. Feedback is great. We do offer private tours where you are able to customize your timing and stops. May be something to look into the next time you travel to PNW. We are working consistently to make sure each vehicle's AC is up to par with our AZ type weather we are experiencing. Some days are better than others. We appreciate you touring with us!
