About this activity

No two tours with us are the same! Our guides craft itineraries that reflect the best of what the Park has to offer that day, including group interests and dynamics. Please note that the itinerary outlined is a sample of potential destinations that could be included in the tour.

Experience Mount Rainier's highlights on a 2 day tailored to you. Our TripAdvisor "Hall of Fame" guides run the only tours permitted to explore more than a mile from the park road as the National Park is ecologically important & delicate. The U.S. Park Service restricts other tour companies - our competitors offer "road tours." We are professional nature educators (not just bus drivers) that have dedicated our lives to artful travel. Our all-inclusive small-group trip is limited to just 9 travelers.
