★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,156 reviews · 10 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $150Our pick

Leave Seattle early for a guided Mt. Rainier day trip with hotel pickup, scenic stops, and easy walks. You may visit Longmire, Christine Falls, Narada Falls, Paradise, Reflection Lakes, or summer sites such as Sunrise and Tipsoo Lake. Guides including Lucas, Cory, Joel, and James adapt the route to weather and road conditions.

“Who says a tour of Mt Rainier in the winter is a bad ideal!?! Not us!! We had such a great tour. Lucas took us to places not normally on the tour due to the weather and I think they were better! Yes, we probably will do another in the spring or summer, but we got the most dramatic pictures from all the snow. We went snow shoeing (provided by the tour) and hikes at beautiful locations. This is NOT a sitting tour so expect to be active. Lucas was very informative and friendly. Highly recommend!!”
