The trail looked so flat on the map.
Washington’s Mount Rainier National Park offers over 260 miles of maintained trails for your enjoyment. Trails lead through the peacefulness of the old-growth forest of the river valleys and the high subalpine meadows on the flanks of Mount Rainier. From these trails explore and experience the forests, lakes, and streams and view the fields of wildflowers and network of glaciers.
Always be prepared for your walk or hike. Planning is an important step in being prepared and ready for your adventure. Pick the right trail for you and your group. Recognize your abilities and the abilities of your group. Pick a trail that everyone can successfully complete and enjoy safely. Check the park’s website or ask a ranger for details on the difficulty level of trails. Rangers can also provide trail recommendations.
