Reisroute
We stoppen om buiten te ontbijten op weg naar de ingang van het park. Je gids combineert groepsvoorkeuren, weersoverwegingen, gemengde ecosystemen en hoogtepunten, het vermijden van menigten en meer om een mooie dag te creëren.
Deze magische waterval - en populaire toeristische attractie op de berg Rainier - bevindt zich op de weg van Longmire naar Paradise, slechts 1,6 km ten westen van de ingang van het Paradise-gebied. Met een hoogte van 176 voet hebben de watervallen twee verschillende kenmerken: de bovenste laag, en de hoogste op 159 voet is een paardenstaartval, zo beschreven omdat deze meerdere kanalen langs de rotswand heeft.
Paradise is niet voor niets het drukst bezochte gebied in het park. Wereldberoemd om zijn uitzichten en bloemenweiden. Maak een wandeling en neem een picknick mee. Mount Rainier, de koning van de Cascade Range in het westen van Washington, stijgt 14.410 voet boven de zeespiegel en is een opvallende piek. Bewaakt door steile valleien en met slib gevulde rivieren, torent de machtige vulkaan - met zijn scherpe, piramidale top, brede sneeuwvelden en diepe gletsjers - uit boven een ongebaand en prachtig landschap.
Reflection Lakes ligt aan Stevens Canyon Road, die tijdens het zomerseizoen, meestal van juni tot september, open is voor voertuigen. Deze populaire bestemming is vernoemd naar meren die het uitzicht op Mount Rainier weerspiegelen. Tijdens de zomer moeten wandelaars te allen tijde op de paden blijven om de delicate subalpiene weiden rond het meer te beschermen. Varen en vissen is niet toegestaan in Reflection Lakes. In de winter hebben sneeuwschoenwandelaars en wandelaars nog steeds toegang tot het gebied en kunnen winterkampen rond het met sneeuw bedekte meer.

David C was an excellent guide. Out adventure to Mount Rainier did not go as planned due to the weather but David C made excellent suggestions which worked out great. We did and saw so much. We were out for 6-7 hours. It was a great experience. David gets a triple A plus.
The guide cancelled. We were unable to experience the trip. Super disappointing. More notice or alternatives would have possibly helped.
Hi Pamela, We are sorry for cancellation of the tour, but shared tour needs a minimum number of passengers to take place. Best Regards, Khitish BarbilTours/Platformpoints LLC
DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY. This company is a SCAM and lied and stole our money!!! I agreed to $680.00 for a private tour of Mt. Rainier National Park with park entry fees, breakfast stop and a list of different stops through the park. 2 months before the trip they agreed to a 5am pick up in Seattle. The day before the trip, they charged my card $980.00 instead of $680.00 AND told us we would not be picked up until 6:30 am and also they did not register for timed entry stamp at Sunrise entrance. I ended up on the phone with the owner of the company who told me they would take us to Paradise entrance because no timed entry was needed. The driver smelled bad and talked non stop. He did not know or mention where to stop for bathroom or the scheduled breakfast stop and did not realize it until we mentioned that he had driven past the last bathroom before the Park. (we ended up having to emergency stop on the side of the road to go to the bathroom) He drove us to the edge of the park, then lost signal to his GPS an proceeded to try to drive into the Sunrise entrance without a timed entry. I told him we would be turned away so on a 2 lane switch back with steep drop off decided that was the place to make a 3 point turn and almost knock us off the mountain. I then had the only cell service to direct him on where to go. He admitted he had never been to Mt Rainier and was "just a driver" and thought getting us to the outskirts of the park was all he needed to do. He proceeded to turn away from the park and start driving west until I demanded he stop and turn around and follow my directions. He insisted all the tour promised was taking us to the Park and he had done that. He kept showing me a screen shot of the itinerary. I asked him if he knew where any of these places on the itinerary are and he admitted no. I made him turn around and drive toward Paradise entrance. He was mad and driving 55mph on 35 mph mountain roads. I asked him to PLEASE follow the posted speed signs. Once we got to the Paradise entrance he was surprised he had to pay to get in. (That was included in the tour) He paid, dropped us off at the visitor center and proceeded to park in the handicap spot saying he would just wait there while we hiked. He was yelled at by rangers to move, so he would just circle around and park in a different handicap spot. For the ride home after hiking he stopped for us to get food after I demanded he stop at a restaurant outside of the park. We had to buy him lunch. Then for the next 2.5 hours home he talked non stop and smelled SO bad. Image I attached are what most of my photos look like because they were out the window while he drove WAY too fast and did not know where to stop for good photos or hikes or experiences.
Absolutely stunning views. Simply a treasure, made all the more special by a wonderful guide. It would’ve been a great visit regardless, because Mother Nature is the real star here, but Dwight’s tour made this so much more interesting and enjoyable. I would do this again.
Hi Traveller, Thank you for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that the views were stunning and that Dwight's guidance added a special touch to your experience. We completely agree that Mother Nature is the real star, but it's great to know that Dwight's expertise and enthusiasm enhanced your visit. We're glad you'd consider doing this tour again and look forward to welcoming you back! Regards, Khitish(BarbilTours)
This tour should have been canceled. The rain and fog and snow destroyed the whole experience. Yes-we can say we went to Mt Rainer-but we couldn’t see anything. The welcome center was closed. In fact the only thing that was opened was a little museum. My husband and I would have loved a little verbal tour. Geoffrey was very nice but I had to ask him all the questions. Like what’s this-what’s that etc. My husband and I were the only ones on the tour and again it should have been cancelled due to the weather.
Dwight was great very knowledgeable about the area and took us to great spots. We where never rushed and it was very memorable.
To visit Washington state and not explore Mt. Rainier National Park is a shame. It was a beautiful trip with an intelligent guide who knows a lot of interesting places and their history.
It was cancelled my tour and they didn’t have the courtesy to tell me until I contacted them after to be waiting. Sucks!!!!
Tours can get cancelled in winter season due to weather conditions , We try to inform the customers as soon as possible whenever the roads in winter season closes due to the sudden change in weather
