Mount Rainier National Park is like a mini Switzerland but right here in the Pacific Northwest in the USA.
🚗 In just 2 hours from Seattle , you can experience the same stunning alpine scenery without the international price tag.
⏰ If you’re short on time, don’t worry! I made it happen in 1 day
🆓 I even created a FREE downloadable itinerary to help you do the same.
Let me know if you want it and I’ll send it directly to you or access it from my profile 😍
Here’s a breakdown of some of the things I did on my 1 day adventure:
🌲 Top places I visited:
• Paradise
• Henry M. Jackson Visitor Center
🚪 I started using the White River Entrance
💰 Cost if visiting: $30 per vehicle for a 7-day pass, or $80 for the America the Beautiful Pass (annual access to all U.S. national parks).
🕰️ Hours of operation: The park is open year-round, but some roads and trails are seasonal.
🚶♀️ Conditions of the trails:
Trails like the Skyline Trail are well-maintained but can be challenging, with 1,450 feet of elevation gain over 5.5 miles. Snow can persist in higher elevations even in summer.
🌡️ Average temperature:
Summer highs are in the 60s, and winter can drop to below freezing.
☔ Average weather:
July to September offers the driest and clearest conditions, perfect for hiking and photography.
🔥 Is camping permitted?
Yes! There are several campgrounds, but reservations are recommended in peak season.
🏨 Is it expensive to stay in the area?
It can be pricey, especially if you stay within the park. Nearby lodges like Paradise Inn fill up fast in summer.
📸 Best times of day for photography:
Early morning and sunset are ideal for catching Mount Rainier glowing in golden light, especially at Reflection Lakes.
🅿️ Parking site:
The Paradise parking lot is a popular option but fills up quickly in peak season, so arrive early to secure a spot
Mount Rainier is an underrated gem, and with my free itinerary, you can experience its Swiss-like charm in just one day! Make sure you grab it now for a dreamy adventure.
