2 Day Mt Rainier All-Inclusive Small Group Tour

Overview

Day by day itinerary

1. 1Journey to Sunrise⌄

   We'll pick you up from your Downtown Seattle hotel or Airbnb! Once we finish all the pickups, we'll head towards the Mountains!

   We'll head straight towards the Mountain! Keep your eye on the scenery outside the windows, you may start to see Rainier peek out as we leave the city.

   After a quick bathroom/coffee stop along the way, we'll enter the National Park! The next 2 days will be spent exploring its natural wonders.

   Our main destination for today is Sunrise. At 6,400 feet in elevation, this is the highest a vehicle can reach on the Mountain. A plethora of trails depart from the Visitor Center, and we'll set out to explore!

   When we've finished exploring Sunrise, we'll hop back into the van for a drive to the south side of the Mountain. Stunning backdrops abound along this route!

   We'll reach Mt Rainier's south side and climb back up to Paradise. At slightly lower elevation than Sunrise, Paradise is home to your accommodations for the night - the historic Paradise Inn, where we'll also eat dinner after settling into your room.

   Meals: Lunch: A family-style picnic lunch created by our female-owned caterer with local, seasonal ingredients. · Dinner: Flavors of the Pacific Northwest in the dining room of the Paradise Inn.

   Overnight: Historic Paradise Inn on Mount Rainier (Listed tour price is for double occupancy rooms.)

2. 2Wake up in Paradise⌄

   Hike straight out of the door of Paradise Inn and onto the southern slopes of Mt Rainier. Journey up to see the Nisqually Glacier and the peaks of the Tatoosh Range all around you. Share the meadows with talkative marmots, and marvel at the spire-like firs that dot the mountainside.

   Paradise is home to a world-class visitor's center with interpretive information on the National Park.

   Several waterfalls are accessible by foot along the route up the mountain! Narada Falls is one of our favorites.

   Bubbling springs, massive old-growth spruce trees, walking trails, a museum, and restrooms make up this historic area of Mount Rainier National Park.

   Giant old-growth spruce trees clustered around bubbling mineral springs and views of Mt. Rainier's peak make this one of the most memorable short trails in the National Park.

   Meals: Breakfast: A hearty lodge breakfast at Paradise Inn · Lunch: A mobile trail lunch prepared by your guide for lunch on the go
