Our guide was Joe and he was very funny, knew a lot about the area and also took care of us very well. He made sure of our safety always and was very informative. He told us exact spots to take pictures on and was an excellent guide! It was a beautiful day when we went with little bit too strong winds and lovely scenery across.

Amazing bus tour - very knowledgeable guide - we were lucky to be able to view the snow topped mountain for the entire day - very rare apparently as cloud normally covers it - say some wildlife - black bear, elk, deer - truly an amazing day

Lucas was our tour guide on this ENTIRE day trip to Mt Ranier. From the beginning of the 12 hour tour, Lucas told us that it would be unlikely that we would actually be able to see the mountain, due to the time of year. This tour requires that you devote an entire 12 hour day, which we didn’t know until we got on the tour bus. The bus is a semi-comfortable short bus that only seats 24 passengers and does not come with an onboard toilet. A 12 hour tour with a bus with no toilet. Lucas offered to make multiple stops for bathroom needs but many of us just “held it” as we didn’t want to prolong the already long day. Lucas is a great tour guide. His knowledge of the surroundings from beginning to end was impressive, as was his driving skills. When we got as high on the mountain as we could, he installed chains on the tires for the perilous trip down the mountain. I’d definitely do this tour again but will visit in the summer next time and will pre-prepare my body for the very long day, without a toilet on the bus.
