The captivating nature trails of Mount Rainier are home to amazing glaciers including Nisqually Glacier, the Carbon Glacier, which is recognized as the largest by volume ice glacier in the continental United States, and the Emmons Glacier, the largest glacier by area.
If you feel the need to stretch your legs, Mount Rainier Park has hiking trails that range in distance from 5 to 100 miles round trip. Or, for those less intrepid souls just looking for breathtaking views, there are shorter self-guided nature walks between .3 to 1.5 miles that give the amateur naturalist sights of the mountain, rivers, streams and heaven-inspired foliage.

At 14,410 feet tall, Mount Rainier is traversed by thousands of climbers each year. The exhilaration of the climb is well worth the adventure.
The first documented ascent of the Mount Rainier summit was reached in 1890. Since then, this vertical terrain has become the training grounds for even more challenging mountain expeditions, including Denali and Mount Everest.
Even for the experienced mountaineer, Mount Rainier holds numerous challenges as weather, snow, and route conditions can change at a moment’s notice. To be safe, always obtain a current weather forecast, proper mountain climbing equipment, and an experienced guide. Be prepared to turn back should conditions worsen. The mountain will still be there for another attempt.
If you plan to climb glaciers or the mountain above 10,000 feet, call 360-569-2211 for information. For more information, visit the National Park Service.
From the avid angler to the novice fisherman, Mount Rainier National Park has crystal clear freshwater streams and rivers naturally populated with various fish.
