Mount Rainier

Mount Rainier is circled by the Wonderland Trail and is covered by several glaciers and snowfields totaling some 35 square miles. About 1.8 million people visit Mount Rainier National Park each year! Mt. Rainier in WA is America's 5th tallest mountain! The mountain top is covered by snow year-round. When the snow melts, water flows down in large volume, which then creates the most beautiful waterfalls!

Recycled spirits of iron, Sculpture

For many years, metal sculptor Dan Klennert has been creating works of rusting art that spring from junkyards, farm piles, and donations. He assembles overall sculptures from what he has on hand and how they come together in his mind, unlike looking for pieces to fit into a preconceived sculpture.

Christine Falls Viewpoint

Christine Falls (10 mins)

Paradise Loop

Paradise Visitor Center Paradise is famous for its glorious views and wildflower meadows. When James Longmire's daughter-in-law, Martha, first saw this site, she exclaimed, "Oh, what a paradise!" The park's main visitor center, the Henry M. Jackson Memorial Visitor Center, is located in the upper parking area. Paradise is also the primary winter-use area in the park, receiving on average 643 inches (53.6 feet/16.3 meters) of snow a year.

5

Narada Falls

At only 150 feet from the road to Paradise, Narada Falls is the largest waterfall accessible by car in the park, and one of the most impressive. Here the Paradise River plunges over the edge of a relatively recent flow of hard andesite lava that abuts much older rock.

Mount Rainier National Park

Special Notes： 1. Along the way of Wonderland Trail, we will arrange parking for 1-2 attractions according to the actual situation: Narada Falls, Paradise Visitor Center (including glacier overlooking, Wildflower meadow at Paradise, etc. in case of bad winter weather conditions, we will go to the Longmire Museum instead.) 2. Mt Rainier National Park is mountainous tourist attractions. In order to ensure the proper time to visit each scenic location, we highly recommend guests to prepare lunch foods in advance. 3. In the case of heavy snowfall during the winter season, the schedule of going uphill at Mount Rainier National Park may be halted. We will instead enjoy the breathtaking views at the foot of the mountain instead.

Mont Rainier

Le mont Rainier est encerclé par le Wonderland Trail et est couvert de plusieurs glaciers et champs de neige totalisant environ 35 miles carrés. Environ 1,8 million de personnes visitent le parc national du mont Rainier chaque année ! Mt. Rainier à WA est la 5ème plus haute montagne d'Amérique ! Le sommet de la montagne est recouvert de neige toute l'année. Lorsque la neige fond, l'eau s'écoule en grand volume, ce qui crée alors les plus belles cascades !

Esprit de fer recyclé, Sculpture

Depuis de nombreuses années, le sculpteur sur métal Dan Klennert crée des œuvres d'art rouillées provenant de dépotoirs, de tas de fermes et de dons. Il assemble des sculptures globales à partir de ce qu'il a sous la main et de la façon dont elles s'assemblent dans son esprit, contrairement à la recherche de pièces à intégrer dans une sculpture préconçue.

Point de vue des chutes Christine

Boucle paradisiaque

Centre d'accueil du paradis Paradise est célèbre pour ses vues magnifiques et ses prairies de fleurs sauvages. Lorsque la belle-fille de James Longmire, Martha, a vu ce site pour la première fois, elle s'est exclamée : "Oh, quel paradis !" Le principal centre d'accueil du parc, le Henry M. Jackson Memorial Visitor Center, est situé dans l'aire de stationnement supérieure. Paradise est également la principale zone d'utilisation hivernale du parc, recevant en moyenne 643 pouces (53,6 pieds /16,3 mètres) de neige par an.

11

Chutes Narada

À seulement 150 pieds de la route du paradis, les chutes de Narada sont la plus grande cascade accessible en voiture du parc et l'une des plus impressionnantes. Ici, la rivière Paradise plonge au-dessus du bord d'une coulée relativement récente de lave dure d'andésite qui jouxte une roche beaucoup plus ancienne.

12

Parc national du mont Rainier

Notes spéciales: 1. Sur le chemin du Wonderland Trail, nous organiserons le stationnement pour 1 à 2 attractions en fonction de la situation réelle : chutes de Narada, centre d'accueil des visiteurs du paradis (y compris surplombant le glacier, prairie de fleurs sauvages au paradis, etc. en cas de mauvaises conditions météorologiques hivernales, nous irons plutôt au musée de Longmire.) 2. Le parc national du mont Rainier est une attraction touristique montagneuse. Afin d'assurer le bon moment pour visiter chaque site pittoresque, nous recommandons fortement aux clients de préparer les plats du déjeuner à l'avance. 3. En cas de fortes chutes de neige pendant la saison hivernale, le programme de montée au parc national du mont Rainier peut être interrompu. Nous profiterons plutôt des vues à couper le souffle au pied de la montagne.

Mount Rainier, also known as Tacoma, is the highest mountain of the Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest, and the highest mountain in the state of Washington. Mount Rainier is an active volcano and has the most glaciated peak in the United States. It spawns five major rivers, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round.
