Mt. Rainier Day Tour
What your day looks like
Embark on a day-long escapade to the enchanting wonderland that is Mount Rainier National Park—a pristine sanctuary of nature's grandeur. Your adventure begins with the convenience of a hotel pickup in Seattle or near SeaTac Airport, setting the stage for a journey that promises a symphony of breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable experiences. Each tour guide provides a unique experience. NO tour is the same. The day’s itinerary is dictated by the guide as they know which routes and attractions will offer the best views and accessibility due to the day’s weather forecast. Your first pause unfolds at a full-service grocery store where you can purchase an assortment from the deli, savor the aroma of fresh coffee, secure any necessities for the day ahead and use the bathroom before heading to the next stop. The guides, with their thoughtful touch, provide a cooler on the bus, ensuring your purchases stay refreshingly chilled throughout the expedition. For those feeling the culinary muse, bringing a homemade lunch is not only welcomed but encouraged. The mountain offers panoramic views and make sure to keep a keen eye for the elusive wildlife that may grace the mountainous terrain. In winter, thrill-seekers can opt for a snowshoe or sled adventure, weather permitting. Don't forget your camera, for every moment promises to be a snapshot of natural splendor. Snow-free by July, Paradise becomes a haven for alpine flowers shortly after. If your journey falls on weekdays from mid-October to April, be prepared for limited food services within the National Park. This day-long tour promises an immersion into the wonders of Mount Rainier National Park that will linger in your memory for years to come. ****PLEASE check out the weather Longmire and Paradise at https://a.atmos.washington.edu/data/rainier_report.html and the Mt.

What travelers are saying
We had a great time. The scenery was gorgeous and Corey was a great guide!
My client loved the tour. She said the guide was fantastic. she didn't understand why they had to walk to a nearby hotel for the pickup, no one from that hotel joined there so they were the only pickup there. She didn't know why they couldn't have just been picked up at their hotel.
We had a wonderful day! Our guide James was quite knowledgable, friendly, and helpful. We especially enjoyed seeing all the wildflowers (our trip in mid-July was perfectly timed to see everything in bloom!) and we even saw a brown bear and her cub near Shadow Lake inside the park, near Sunrise. It was an incredible day of riding, hiking, and memory making, and we took dozens of photos of all the gorgeous scenery. It's a long day, but 100% worth it!
Harry made the day!! We’ll informed and personable..
