the tour was good with my old school buddies. It was fun. Someone told me that attempts on the Mount Rainier to reach its peak spot and quite a very few have had done it. Anyways, we departed on this tour from Seattle in the morning. It such wonderful time in the park, especially during the snowboarding with my buddies. I would love to take this tour on my next holidays, probably not this one but definitely the similar one. Thank you for the tour!

my parents took me on this tour with them. We visited this Mount Rainier National Park I think the fourth time on this tour in the same year. It was fun exploring the natural attractions such as the gigantic mount Rainer which is mostly covered in snow as far as I am concerned. The ride on the Paradise Road was remarkable as we get to see many stunning sights. There was just too much snow and I love being in the snow. I appreciate this one day journey!
