Mount Rainier National Park

Mount Rainier National Park er en nationalpark i USA beliggende i det sydøstlige Pierce County og nordøstlige Lewis County i delstaten Washington. Den blev etableret 2. marts 1899 som den femte nationalpark i USA. Nationalparken omfatter omkring 957 kvadratkilometer land, herunder hele Mount Rainier, en 4.390 meter høj stratovulkan. Bjerget stiger brat fra det omgivende landskab i 490 meters højde. Bjerget udgør den højeste tinde i Cascades-bjergkæden, og omkring det findes dale, vandfald, subalpine blomsterenge, urskove og mere end 25 gletsjere. Vulkanen omgives ofte af skyer, der øser enorme mængder af regn og sne over bjerget hvert år, og gemmer det fra skarer af besøgende der kommer til parken hver weekend.

    The most beautiful park there is to see! The massive mountain will make your jaw drop the first time your see her up close. Give yourself a couple days to explore all the different entrances into the park and the different things to do at each side! Paradise is a must visit!

    Nature at its best. Where ever you see you will find beauty of nature. Must visit place. If you are into hiking, best national park to do so. Every time we hi, we find something new. Exploring mt.Rainier is the best activity for us in summer. Many lakes, rivers, views points, waterfalls and hiking spots. Also, there are nice camp grounds. We spent 2 days camping near white river. It was a beautiful experience. If you love nature a d want to be outdoors, this is the place to go.

  • Washington state is completely full of natural wonders and Mount Mount Rainier NP is no exception. This park exceptionally beautiful with Mount Rainier playing host to the many visitors to come to the base of the mountain in a town literally named “Paradise!” Called the Alps of the American Cascade mountain range. It’s a must see if you’re visiting the beautiful Washington state!

  • Beautiful park with a nice variety of hiking trails for all levels of hikers. There are many different places within the park to hike, not just at Paradise, which is great for people who want to go somewhere a little quieter.

    Beautiful national park, I love mt. Rainier, water falls and creek along the road to paradise and sunset trail. I would love to come back again in the future and spend more time to finish all the trail.

  • Breathtaking views. Well kept trails. Come early to miss the traffic and stay all day. Amazing park. I'll be back soon.

  • The drive up the mountain was intense, especially driving through the fog. The road is tight and winding, also no guard rails to protect you from the drop. Despite all that anxiety, the views you receive from this magical place are 1000% worth it. It is truly a place I wish I could stay forever. Walking up the mountain feeling the wind become colder and air become thinner is something else. It was pretty foggy that day, so we were able to actually walk through the mist. Never experienced anything else quite like it. Definitely recommend. It’s not an easy hike tho fyi. Photos do not do justice. 🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲

    Gorgeous! Ummmmm....where to start! So much to see here. Nothing like it anywhere else. The mountain, Herself, is majestic but there is so much else to see and explore: lookouts, waterfalls, glaciers, old growth forest, lakes, rivers, wildlife, and meadows, and wildflowers. Bring a camera and capture your special moments in time. Be prepared for any kind of weather. Bring water. Enjoy!
