This small-group day tour from Seattle lasts about 10 to 11 hours and includes round-trip transportation in a professional vehicle sized to the group. Seasonal visits cover the park’s main attractions, with hiking or snowshoeing depending on the time of year. In summer, the tour stops at Longmire Museum for about 20 minutes, where exhibits cover the park’s geology, wildlife, and history. Then it visits Christine Falls viewpoint for 10 minutes to see the waterfall framed by a stone bridge. Next is a 40-minute stop at Narada Falls, a loud waterfall just off the road.

Reflection Lakes is the last stop, with about 10 minutes to see the lakes that reflect Mount Rainier on calm days. Winter tours focus on snow-covered scenery with a longer stop of 60 minutes at Longmire Museum and a scenic walk along a portion of the Wonderland Trail for about an hour. If weather conditions prevent access to some areas, the tour may substitute visits accordingly. The tour includes lunch, snacks, entrance to Mount Rainier National Park, and guidance from a professional driver-guide. Gratuities and personal expenses are not included.

Itinerary
Seattle
Introduction to Mount Rainier, the highest peak in the Cascade Range and tallest volcano in mainland America. The mountain remains snow-covered year-round and supports waterfalls, alpine lakes, and forests. The tour departs Seattle and follows different routes depending on season: summer visits Longmire Museum, Christine Falls, Narada Falls, Paradise Visitor Center, and Reflection Lakes before returning; winter visits Longmire Museum and the Wonderland Trail before returning.
Mount Rainier National Park
Located in glacier country and surrounded by the Wonderland Trail, Mount Rainier National Park has glaciers like Emmons and Carbon, the largest by volume in the contiguous U.S. The park receives over 1.8 million visitors annually. Approximately 50% of the thousands who attempt to summit the 5th tallest mountain in the U.S. reach the peak. The summit is snow-covered year-round, and when the snow melts, it feeds waterfalls, lakes, and irrigates forest lands.
Longmire Museum
Situated at 2,700 feet elevation on the mountain’s south side, this historic ranger station contains exhibits on geology, wildlife, early explorers, and Native American history. The stop lasts about 20 minutes in summer and 60 minutes in winter.
20 min
Christine Falls Viewpoint
A brief 10-minute stop at a waterfall framed by a stone bridge, one of the most photographed spots in the park. Viewable directly from the road, conditions depend on weather and road access.
10 min
Narada Falls
Summer only stop of 40 minutes at one of the largest waterfalls accessible by car, where water plunges over hardened lava rock beside the road. The falls are fed by the Paradise River and are loud and powerful.
40 min
