This was the most incredible day! - Wow! What an incredible experience! . Mount Rainier is stunning, We traveled with our teenagers ages 13 and 18 and they had the most amazing time.
We had an incredible day exploring Mount Rainier with Susan! Keeping teenagers engaged isn't always easy, but Susan’s knowledge and energy kept everyone interested. She took us to several hidden gems we never would have found on our own. I highly recommend this tour with Susan if you want to see the park’s best-kept secrets!
Special thank you to Susan for coordinating rest stops and a stop to shop for food. Plenty of time to explore welcome center. Just a well organized trip

Mt Rainier! - Booked this tour because I am afraid of heights and thought the road would be scary for me to drive. Glad I did. Meet some nice people who were in the van with me.
I am a 71 year old lady who lives at 126 feet above sea level. I walk a lot but the hike to the lunch spot( just a little farther 🤣) made me suck wind! Plus I decided to luge my long lens and camera. (Glad I did) Susan was very patient with this old lady who complained about it being hot and was a little slower than the rest of the group. They waited for me. ( she had on long pants, long fleece shirt and a fleece!! Not sure how she didn't faint from the heat)
We got to see everything but Myrtle Falls.( did stop at the 2 falls on the way to Paridise) I think it was due to time lost in construction on the road that day. Susan did find us a patch of Huckleberries for us to sample!
I recommend using this female owned tour company.

Diverse hikes, great views, knowledgeable guide - Absolutely LOVED this experience. Our guide Susan was informative and knew all the places to see. While it was a full day tour, it included several mini hikes that allowed for a variety of views without wearing you out. Myself and two teenage boys really appreciated seeing the diversity on Mt Rainier (snow shoeing up high to bare ground down below) and learning about the diversity of trees and flora. Susan was well prepared with all the gear and happily answered all of our questions.

Beautiful Day with a Thoughtful Guide! - Indeed, WOW is right! Susan was a wonderful guide, with a thoughtful response to every question and an inviting, warm demeanor. And she’s fun! I watched her lead the way for some “sledding” on trash bags at the request of our group. From Rainier, to Narada Falls, to the old growth forest, this was a great day…thanks to Susan! -Wesley

Mt Rainer hike - A very beautiful hike! The waterfalls were so pretty. Some trees were starting to turn so we got to see the fall colors in the mountains.

Great day trip with good... - Great day trip with good views. The hike to the picnic spot, though short, is all up hill. Also, understand that the weather in the mountains is not the same as it is at lower elevations so expect snow. Our guide did have crampons for those that were in tennis shoes which was a plus. There were also options for those that wanted more hiking and those that wanted less, so it’s really what you make of it.

A wonderful experience - Second part of the drive to Mt Rainier was already beautiful. Nice smaller road through beautiful landscape, with colorful autumn leaves. In de Nat. Park we took a 3 h hike to the waterfalls, which was stunning. We had bit of rain but this cleared up and when we reached the waterfalls all was covered in snow. Our guide Susan was great showing us the best spots for pictures and bringing snowclamps for our shoes which were very useful. Overall a wonderful experience.
