Description: ###Join a TripAdvisor 'Hall of Fame' guide in exploring a Northwestern icon, Mt. Rainier National Park, on foot.
Escape the city and stretch your legs in Mt. Rainier National Park’s stunning wilderness.
Mt. Rainier is encased in more than 35 square miles of snow and ice! This National Park is also blanketed by old-growth forests, alpine meadows, shimmering lakes, and rushing waterfalls. Your guide will share the natural and cultural history of Mt. Rainier, from the medicinal properties of native plants to the geological forces that produced this imposing monolith. This isn’t just another driving tour of a National Park—we prefer to keep travelers outside the vehicle for walks and exploration.
Stroll through the old-growth forests near Longmire, where Douglas fir, hemlock, and cedar trees dwarf visitors and the bubbling of natural springs fill the crisp air. Experience waterfalls and big mountain views as you wind to higher elevations. 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.
Throughout the tour your guide will mix fascinating insights with opportunities for solitude as you come to appreciate Mt. Rainier’s pristine wild side. We bring lots of food, coffee, tea and snacks!

Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to cover your investment in this tour and all of your travel related expenses. Life can be unpredictable and most of the reasons we hear for why a traveler may need to cancel within a few weeks of their trip are entirely out of their control. Evergreen Escapes cannot make any exceptions to our cancellation policy for any reason including injury or illness of the traveler, travel delays or cancelled flights, death in the family, weather related cancellations, work obligations, traveler change of mind or any other reason that could prevent you from joining your scheduled trip.
If you are concerned about the risk of cancelling your tour within the non-refundable window of time, Trip Cancellation or Interruption Insurance (which differs from medical travel insurance) can help protect some or all of your financial investment. Most travel insurance companies require you to purchase your policy within 14 days of booking your trip so we recommend finding a policy to fit your needs immediately after reserving your seat. Make sure to confirm with the company that your policy covers last minute trip cancellations and how much you can be reimbursed for, so there are no surprises in case the unfortunate happens.
*Travelers who purchased Trip Cancellation Protection for their small group or private day tour follow the extended cancellation policy included in their booking notes. Trip Cancellation Protection is only available for reservations made directly with Evergreen Escapes and must be purchased within 24 hours of booking your reservation to be eligible, unless your tour reservation is made within the non-refundable cancellation window, in which case you cannot add Trip Cancellation Protection after checkout.
