(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
The Nisqually Entrance is the southwestern gateway to Mount Rainier National Park, offering visitors easy access from Seattle and Tacoma. This historic entrance is marked by a rustic log gateway and serves as the starting point for many scenic drives and hiking adventures in the park. The road through the entrance leads visitors to the Longmire area, Paradise, and other popular destinations. Surrounded by lush forests and views of Mount Rainier, the Nisqually Entrance is a key access point for both day-trippers and overnight guests looking to explore the park's stunning wilderness.
Tahoma Creek flows from the southwestern slopes of Mount Rainier, offering hikers scenic views of glacial meltwater carving its way through the forested landscape. The creek is fed by Tahoma Glacier, and its rushing waters are a reminder of the mountain's volcanic origins. A trail follows the creek, leading adventurers through dense forest and over suspension bridges. Along the way, visitors can see glacial sediment and debris transported by the powerful flow of water, making it a beautiful and dynamic feature in the park's southwestern region.
