Select your ticket
Overview
No two tours with Evergreen Escapes are the same! Our guides craft itineraries that reflect the best of what the Park has to offer that day, including group interests and dynamics. Please note that the itinerary outlined is a SAMPLE of potential destinations that could be included in the tour. Experience Mount Rainier's highlights on a day tailored to you. Our TripAdvisor "Hall of Fame" guides run the only day tours permitted to explore more than a mile from the park road as the National Park is ecologically important & delicate. The U.S. Park Service restricts other tour companies - our competitors offer "road tours." We are professional nature educators (not just bus drivers) that have dedicated our lives to artful travel. Our all-inclusive small-group day trip is limited to just 10 travelers.

Itinerary
1. Stroll through the old-growth forests near Longmire and experience waterfalls and big mountain views as you wind to higher elevations.
2. Short walk to a postcard view of Christine Falls.
3. Several waterfalls are accessible by foot along the route up the mountain! Narada Falls is one of our favorites.
4. In the summer, pick wild berries on a sub-alpine hiking trail. In the winter, take advantage of Paradise’s legendary snowfall (and the winter solitude) on an introductory snowshoe trail.
5. Paradise is home to a world-class visitor's center with interpretive information on the National Park.
6. An impressive waterfall in the midst of Paradise's iconic meadows, Myrtle Falls is at the end of an easily walkable trail with almost constant views of Mt Rainier's peak.
7. A possible stop near Paradise, Reflection Lakes are renowned for the postcard views of Mt Rainier over the mirror-like lake.
8. A historic area of Mt Rainier National Park, Longmire is home to its museum, bubbling mineral springs, and trails meandering through the surrounding old-growth forest. The museum is a great stop for souvenirs, cocoa, and a quick bathroom break.
9. Giant old-growth spruce trees clustered around bubbling mineral springs and views of Mt. Rainier's peak make this short loop trail a favorite among groups visiting the park.
10. Another favorite in the Longmire Area, Twin Firs boasts massive trees that tower over visitors.
11. Experience views of the mountain peak throughout your day. Mt Rainier can be seen from many of our stops.
12. We'll drop you off where we picked you up, or a nearby preferred location.
