Best Mount Rainier National Park Day Trips & Things to Do

One of the most beautiful and pristine landscapes in America, this national park covers almost 400 square miles and is home to dozens of glaciers, old growth forests, sub-alpine meadows and waterfalls. Towering almost 3 miles above sea level, volcanic Mount Rainier dominates this park and, on a clear day, can be seen from over 100 miles away! A popular peak for mountaineering, the park also contains numerous trails, campgrounds, and ski slopes. Considered the snowiest place on earth, this fact doesn't stop an estimated 2 million people per year from visiting the majesty this park has to offer.
