Hiking doesn’t get much better than this – spectacular views, a hillside covered with a garden of flowers, a forest with pocket meadows, and a picture-perfect lake.

GO NOW

The wildflowers are in full bloom.

 

RECOMMENDATION FOR AN EVEN BETTER HIKE

For a longer and even better Mt. Rainier experience, do the Naches Peak Loop trail clockwise, follow the Pacific Crest Trail to the Sheep Lake trailhead, then hike into Sheep Lake.
