Trip Details

Your adventure begins with a pickup from your hotel in Seattle at a designated time. We will then travel southwards, heading towards the Paradise Jackson Visitor Center located in Mount Rainier National Park, reaching an impressive elevation of 1,400 m (4,590 ft)!

Our first stop will be the Federation Forest State Park, where we will spend approximately 30 minutes exploring a scenic trail enveloped by lush, moss-laden forests and ancient trees, allowing you to soak in the fresh, moist air of this pristine environment. Next, we will make our way into Mount Rainier National Park and pause for 15 minutes to capture the quintessential photograph by the entrance sign.

Next, we will head to Deer Creek Falls, taking a brief 10-minute walk to fully appreciate the soothing sounds of the flowing water and the crisp mountain atmosphere. Following this, a 30-minute break will allow you to enjoy lunch at your leisure at the Grove of the Patriarchs station.

With refreshed spirits, we will explore the Box Canyon Loop, a 15-minute trek that leads us to a stunning 30-meter-deep (100 ft) canyon offering jaw-dropping views of the majestic Mount Rainier. Be sure to have your camera ready!

Next, we'll embark on a short 15-minute stroll to Louise Lake, a peaceful alpine body of water. Afterwards, we will take a delightful 15-minute break at a local bakery in Elbe situated at the mountain's foot, allowing you to savor chocolates and handmade treats at your own pace.

Still feeling energized? We will make a final stop where you can marvel at the Reflection Lakes for half an hour, where you can observe the striking reflection of Mount Rainier on clear days.

Finally, after a two-hour return trip, we will conclude our day by dropping you off at your hotel, completing a memorable 9-hour excursion.
