If you are planning a visit to northwest Washington and one of the three amazing National Parks that the state has to offer, it is likely that you are wondering what the best hikes are in Mount Rainier National Park.

July 27, 2019 • Mount Rainier National Park • Washington

Everyone comes to Mount Rainier National Park to see one of the tallest peaks in the United States, but while visiting, the Grove of the Patriarchs is a must-see. This stroll along the Ohanapecosh River runs through a thick forest full of huge trees. Some of these trees are over 1000 years old!

This shaded, easy hike is fantastic for families with kids or adults of all ages. It even includes a suspension bridge, a boardwalk and a place to hang out and relax along the river.

If you are headed to Mount Rainier National Park, make sure you take the time to visit this incredible concentration of giant trees!

Of all the great hikes in Mount Rainier National Park, the Skyline Trail to Panorama Point is, in our opinion, one of the best hikes in Mount Rainier. Starting near the Henry M. Jackson Visitor Center in the Paradise Area, the trail traverses through lush fields of wildflowers, near several running rivers (and waterfalls) and has amazing views of both Mount Rainier and the surrounding peaks.
