Mount Rainier National Park is centered around an awe-inspiring, iconic volcano — Mount Rainier — and takes you through miles and miles of old-growth forest, up and down a rollercoaster of the Cascade Mountains, past lakes, rivers, and waterfalls, and along scenic hikes through wildflower meadows, up mountains, and through woods. The overlooks along the drive will take your breath away and the serpentine roads leading up to Paradise and Sunrise — the most popular sections of the park — will keep your heart pumping and your camera clicking.

Here are just a few of the fun things you can do on the tour:

• Explore the stunning alpine meadows of Paradise, where wildflowers bloom beneath the imposing backdrop of Mount Rainier's glaciers.

• Witness the first light of day at Sunrise Point, an overlook offering unrivaled views of the mountain's icy flanks and the surrounding wilderness.

• Wander through the ancient forest of the Grove of the Patriarchs, where colossal trees stand sentinel over a tranquil island oasis.

• Stand in awe of Narada Falls as it plunges gracefully over a rugged cliffside, sending misty rainbows through the crisp mountain air.

• Ascend to breathtaking heights aboard the Mount Rainier Gondola at Crystal Mountain.

Loved this App!

We recently purchased the Pacific Northwest package when we visited Mt. Rainier and Olympic National Park. The directions were great and we loved hearing the stories and history about each stop as we got there. We also appreciated the input on what to choose from if we were limited on time. Highly recommend!

Wonderful!

Just wrapped up a Pacific Northwest trip with Shaka through North Cascades, Olympic, and Mt. Rainier and loved every second of the audio tour. The most helpful tips along the way and the best hiking recommendations! Highly recommend any audio guide they offer!

We used Shaka Guide at Mt. Rainier National Park and found it super helpful! You definitely need a phone charging cord for your car bc the battery will drain fast while the app is in use, but Shaka Guide tells you that! The app provided tips for how to prepare for our trip before we left and was easy to use, informative, and entertaining through our tour of the park. It was also great for having kids with us; Shaka Guide helped keep the hikes doable with children in tow.
