Begeleide wandeling op de Rainier - oude bossen, watervallen en uitzicht op de gletsjer
Beschrijving
Tijdens deze tour naar Mt. Rainier National Park is er veel diversiteit van alpine omgeving tot oud groeibos in lagere hoogte. We rijden naar de hoogtepunten in het park en u zult diverse landschappen en landschappen ervaren, zoals gletsjers, bergen, watervallen, rivieren en hoge bomen in oud bos. U wordt begeleid op kortere wandelingen op bezienswaardigheden. In de wintergebieden van het park kunnen sommige dagen gesloten zijn en niet alle hoogtepunten zijn soms toegankelijk - van november tot juni zullen sneeuwschoenen / stijgijzers worden verstrekt wanneer dat nodig is, omdat er in die maanden vaak sneeuw op de paden ligt.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
We rijden naar Mount Rainier National Park (2 uur) en wandelen vanaf het bezoekerscentrum in Paradise ongeveer anderhalve kilometer waar we picknicken in de buurt van enkele gigantische gletsjers. We wandelen dan een mijl terug en rijden naar uitkijkpunten met panoramische uitzichten en we zien de Narada-watervallen en de Christine-watervallen, oude bossen met duizend jaar oude grote bomen en de Reflection Lakes. In de winter en lente (november-juni) zullen we sneeuwschoenwandelen in plaats van wandelen - geen ervaring vereist.
Ophalen en afzetten is in Seattle downtown.
Als alternatief, ophalen en afzetten is in de buurt van de Space Needle, indien gewenst.
We wandelen ongeveer een mijl in de buurt van de gletsjers in het gebied van Paradise in 5.500 voet hoogte. Dit is ook waar het belangrijkste bezoekerscentrum zich bevindt in Mt. Rainier National Park.
We wandelen naar de bodem van de Narada Falls - 168 voet val in de buurt van Paradise.
We zien de Reflection Lakes waar Mt. Rainier vaak wordt weerspiegeld in de zomertijd. In de winter is het meer bevroren en is de weg afgesloten.
We zien de Christine Falls onder de oude stenen brug.
We wandelen in oud bos in het Nationaal Park bij Longmire op lagere hoogte.

Our guide Susan was amazing. We stopped at a grocery store to buy lunch and snacks for the day. Headed to the mountain. Spent a couple hours hiking and stopping for photos and lunch. Then there were stops for waterfalls and tall trees. This is an 11 to 12 hour day. You go to about 6000 feet and you are climbing a mountain. Be prepared. The terrain is not always easy. Overall a lovely day and some breathtaking sites!
So much fun! Our guide (Susan) was awesome. Glaciers, wildflowers, waterfalls, old growth forest. This hike had it all
The tour itself was very enjoyable. I wouldn’t have known to stop at all the places that we did on my own, even with AI help. Our guide Susan was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The Skyline loop up to meadows at Paradise was one of the prettiest hikes you can do on Rainer. It is difficult for those out of shape or unable to walk up a long steep incline and a few within our group did not make it. Before and after we stopped at gorgeous Falls, Susan showed us the best angle for pictures, and the lakes and old growth forest we could have spent hours at. The bad: a cramped, very smelly, dirty bus packed like sardines with strangers that don’t all have the same cleanliness standards. (Deodorant please!) I think there was some equipment in the bus that also needed a thorough cleaning along with the bus floors and seats. Plus the AC did not work well at all so think twice about the 2+ hour drive with strangers in these conditions. If it would have been on a clean charter bus with a seat or two available for the equipment and packs with working AC it would have felt first class and five stars. We’re we glad we did it - YES, would we do it again on that bus, NO. Parking on your own could be difficult - the bus parking helps. Finally, you WILL NOT have cell service in much of the park so knowing where you are going or having OG maps is a must if you don’t do this tour. That bumps the overall experience up from 3 stars to 4 stars for the guidance (and knowing where to stop or slow on hair pin turns within the park).
Susan had great knowledge of the area! We saw mt rainier peak from many different view points. We went on a easy-medium hike, and it was chill and pretty.
Susan is friendly and knowledgeable. We got rained on but the adventure doesn't stop. Appreciate the wonderful time exploring Mt Rainier.
Our trip with Susan on WOW Nature trails was wonderful. Despite our tour being on a foggy/ drizzly day, the tour was beautiful and well worth the time and money. Susan was a great tour guide and the group was the perfect size (14 people). Me and 16 year old son loved the views and will definitely be coming back to Rainier again. Thank you Susan for a wonderful trip
This was a great way to experience Mount Rainier!
We had an amazing day of hiking! Susan is a fantastic guide and ensured that our day was exceptional!
The tour was great with amazing views! Our guide, Susan, was very knowledgeable and passionate about Mt. Rainier. She made the experience very memorable and you could tell that she wanted us to have great views of the gorgeous mountain and water falls. Although the skyline trail was moderately hard in the beginning, the view of the Mountains were worth it. I would recommend wearing hiking shoes/boots for the hike. We were also fortunate to see two marmots and a black bear. Overall, a lovely day!
Driver was excellent and very knowledgeable of the area. We stopped at various falls and the hike was perfect amount. Round trip about 2 miles. Would definitely pick this company again
