If you don’t mind some advice from someone who has regularly hiked Rainier for twenty three years, next time wear hiking boots or a least athletic shoes with a good tread. Also they usually offer you a map when you enter the park, please take it because it includes trail maps. Also if you try Skyline trail, that has an almost 2,000 elevation gain from the Paradise visitor area, which is already 5,400+ feet high and the trail in some areas is very steep. You’ll want to make sure you take plenty of water and something like granola bars, the trail is rated “strenuous”. 😉
how fun that your sister came to visit! I hope you guys get many more little trips like this!
Great content Becca
Thanks for taking us on your adventures. The scenery looks amazing. Rob

Nothing like coffee and Buffalo Wild Wings 😂😂 but happy for the Celtics win 🎉
Hello, when did you go there since I saw some places are still covered in snow? Is this Paradise or Sunrise?
Paradise in mid-June, might try to go back in early September
