Pros: Absolutely beautiful
Cons: The weather can be unpredictable and treacherous.
It has been over a quarter of a century since I first set eyes on her and yet that memory is as vivid today as the day it happened. It was early August in 1973 and I was 18 years old, fresh out of high school and bound for college. I had left East...

Pros: Beautiful scenery, easy access, good camping facilities, wildlife abounding.
Cons: Not enough campsites, becomes crowded on weekends.
I have lived in Washington (state) since 1979, but a lot of that time was spent in Eastern Washington, around Spokane. I had seen pictures of Mt Rainier and thought I would like to visit it someday. After I got married, I ended up moving to Western...

Climbing Mt. Rainier

by 2manykids , Jul 20 '00
Pros: The most famous Washington landmark
Cons: crowds, long drive
I wanted to puke. Here I was, 9,000 feet up the northern shoulder of majestic Mt. Rainier, Washington, and I felt like spilling my cookies all over the nice, clean snow. Some climber!

Our group of ten Air Force members were on a climb,...

A Breathtaking Adventure

by luna1077 , Dec 15 '00
Pros: peaceful drive, a lot to see
Cons: none that I can think of
My daughter and I played hooky from school one spring day to make the trip with my mom. We packed some sodas and sandwiches, and made sure we were prepared with cameras and film.

I'm always impressed with the forests of the Cascades. They...

Pros: A classic climb
Cons: Not particularly fun...
What possesses a person to spend 3-4 days trudging up endless slopes of snow and ice, shivering in freezing temperatures at night while being baked by UV rays during the day, just to reach a place where it's hard to breathe and the winds are trying to...

A Magnificent Soaring Buttress!

by tke1081 , Jul 12 '00
Pros: Spectacular Views, Glaciers, Great Hiking, Wildlife, Giant Trees
Cons: Not enough Camping Areas, Slow Winding Roads, Crowded
Mt. Rainier National Park is a place that I hold dear and a place that everyone should visit. There is no site quite like the one of this soaring 14,411 ft. buttress of a peak. It is especially impressive when viewed from outside the park, most notably...

by DnJisJRE , Jul 22 '00

More Beautiful Than I Imagined

by Funkwise , Sep 07 '00
Pros: Magnificent, Indescribable
Cons: Crowded
This past summer I visited Colorado, Utah, Yellowstone, the Tetons and Yosemite. Nowhere did I see a more magnificent mountain than Mt. Rainier. Driving out of Seattle you can see it towering over the land and you think it's not real, just a strange...

Avoiding the crowds without leaving civilization

by Uncle_Tippet , Jul 24 '00
Pros: Awesome Glaciers
Cons: Snow at higher elevations so dangerous and wet if you don't wear proper clothes and shoes. But if you're prepared, this is a pro.
The first time I saw Mt Ranier was from my airplane. We sat on the right on our flight up from California and flew right by Mt Hood, Mt. St Helens and Mt Ranier. It was awesome - a great way to start our trip to Mt. Ranier and we were glad we got to the...

You will want to come back

by prostoalex , Aug 11 '01
Pros: great views, lush Northwest nature, wildlife views
Cons: cold and cloudy
It is quite interesting that if you go to the Mt Rainier page on Epinions, there are no opinions not recommending it, at least so far. Assuming that everyone who wrote an opinion has visited the national monument, it would be safe to assume that everyone...

Mt. Rainier National Park

by santonucci , Sep 10 '99
Pros: Outdoors, inexpensive, clean
Cons: Limited resources for prudes
Located in Washington's South Western Corner, Mt. Rainier is a spectacle to behold. We flew into Portland, OR, but Seattle, WA is about the same driving time to the Paradise Entrance to MRNP.

By far the best time of year to visit is the...
