About the activity

No two tours with Evergreen Escapes are the same! Our guides craft itineraries that reflect the best of what the Park has to offer that day, including group interests and dynamics. Please note that the itinerary outlined is a SAMPLE of potential destinations that could be included in the tour. Experience Mount Rainier's highlights on a day tailored to you. Our TripAdvisor "Hall of Fame" guides run the only day tours permitted to explore more than a mile from the park road as the National Park is ecologically important & delicate. The U.S. Park Service restricts other tour companies - our competitors offer "road tours." We are professional nature educators (not just bus drivers) that have dedicated our lives to artful travel. Our all-inclusive small-group day trip is limited to just 10 travelers.

Wonderful must do tour!
vgmwood724, October 2026
We had a wonderful tour. Mathew was the best guide and so informative. We saw bears and mountain goats and beautiful scenery. I would definitely recommend this tour. It also included snacks and lunch.
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
A wonderful mountain hike
Yycctt, October 2026
Tour guide Zacch is a passionate and sincere lover of nature, a great guide who took us on several mountain trails on Mt. Rainier, introduced us to the local plants, and let us have a picnic amidst beautiful scenery, enjoying many wonderful views. It was fantastic!

Ask for Claire
Karen_P, October 2026
We had the most wonderful day with a young lady named Claire. She picked us up at our hotel on time and had three other people in our group - so it was a very small group which we enjoyed. It was a wonderful drive to Mt. Rainier and Claire is an excellent driver. We went to several stops, saw waterfalls, monster trees, fungi, glaciers, and some wildlife. One of the stops we had coffee and tea and fresh pumpkin bread. We also had a picnic lunch, which was provided that was excellent. We chose this trip based on other reviews and so glad we did. It was a little more expensive than some of the others, however, it was the only one that offered pickup and drop off from our hotel. It also offered lunch and snacks and drinks. To us it was so worth the extra dollars. Claire is the best!

Evergreen Escape up to Mt. Rainier was Awesome!
David_G, October 2026
Evergreen Escapes provided a very fun experience in this state park! Evan was our knowledgable tour guide as we trekked around Mt. Rainier; informing us about the interesting flora and fauna of the environment! Such an amazing time hiking up to the Pinnacle Peak Saddle! Good group, good tunes, good vibes! We lucked out on weather: clear skies and gorgeous views of Mt. Adams (and Mt. St. Helens & Mt. Hood). The lunch was delicious and healthy — so good after our ascension/descension!
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Worth Every Penny!
steph-be-traveling, October 2026
Amazing experience! Definitely worth every penny! My husband and I wanted a tour to Mount Rainier so that we wouldn't have to worry about renting a car, navigating, figuring out where to go inside the state park, where to park the car, etc. We are soooo glad we booked the tour! It ended up being a crazy busy day because of gorgeous, totally clear weather (Saturday October 3rd). There's no way we would have known where to go and where to park the car in those crazy crowds! We would have been totally overwhelmed without a guide. Our guide Megan was very knowledgeable about the park and Mount Rainier. She knew all kinds of little things, like to have us hop out of the van to get a photo with the state park entry sign, exactly where to see views of waterfalls, or where we might see wildlife. She was super friendly and very accommodating, always reminding us that the tour was flexible based on what our group wanted to do. I'm not very fit, so when we stopped for an hour to explore on our own, I opted for an easier, fully paved path, but others in our group took a more challenging path. We got very lucky with the clear weather, so we got amazing mountain views, including a very rare view of the mountain in Reflection Lake! That was the highlight of the trip for me. We were very pleased with the food and beverage offerings. They provided a small breakfast snack of coffee, tea, and pastries on our drive to the park. Then later, several snack options were available (chips, goldfish crackers, beef jerky, granola bars, nuts, trail mix) and canned beverages (Arizona tea, sparkling water, etc). Lunch was brought from a local caterer, served on real plates with real cutlery, and felt homemade (chicken, tofu, cabbage slaw, quinoa and sweet potatoes). It was so nice to not worry about bringing or buying our own food. Finally, it was very nice to be driven straight back to our hotel, not having to worry about driving after an exhausting day. When I was choosing a tour, this felt like a splurge at the price point. But afterward, I was so glad we did it! After adding up everything we got, it was a good value. I highly recommend this tour!
