Introduction
Mount Rainier National Park encircles one of the Cascade's tallest volcanoes — Mount Rainier (4,392 m), a snow peak crowned by 26 glaciers and Washington's most awe-inspiring landmark. The Paradise area is famed for summer wildflower meadows (lupine, Indian paintbrush), earning its 'paradise' name; it's also a hiking and climbing mecca, with the 150 km+ Wonderland Trail circling the mountain. Visitors gaze at glaciers from centres, walk boardwalks through blossoms, or catch first light at Sunrise viewpoint. After autumn snow, the park turns into a quiet snowshoe and Nordic ski world.
