Seattle · MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK TOURS
15 tours
Rainier is only out about a third of the time, and the trip you book decides how much of it you see. Compared here: which operators leave early enough for Paradise before the car park fills, which switch to snowshoes in winter, what every seat costs, and which one to pick if it is your only clear day.

“The tour was great! Our guide, Sarah, drove us up the north side with a stop at Federation Forest for a short break in the ride (from Seattle) and a short walk through the forest. On we went up the north side to Sunrise, which had only recently opened for the summer. What incredible views! Our hike up Mount Rainier was breathtaking!

“I really can’t say enough how wonderful today has been and how fabulous the tour was. 11 hours from being picked up at our Airbnb to being dropped at a supermarket at the end.

“Wow! I can't even being to express what an incredible tour this was.

We began our morning with a timely pickup from our hotel, about a 1.5 hour drive where we were given a wealth of knowledge about all of our surroundings. We then made stops to see Mt.
