You can’t miss this hike in Mt. Rainier National Park 🤯🏔️We did this hike at sunset, so the first 3 miles weren’t in the dark, but the last 3 were. 🫣 we weren’t in Grizzly territory but there are black bears so still come prepared with bear spray. 🐻And this was actually the first hike we ever used head lamps… we honestly can’t believe we ever hiked in the dark without them. They are a game. changer. 👏🏼HIKE DETAILS👇🏽📍Trail Name - Tolmie Peak in Mt. Rainier NP🥾Distance - 5.6 miles 🏔️Ele

Mount Rainier, an icon of the Pacific Northwest, is surrounded by a dramatic landscape of volcanic ridges and glacier-carved valleys. Look closer, and this familiar landscape contains the origin story of this area. It has been covered in swamps and ancient seas, flowing lava, explosive ash, and thick sheets of ice. Mountains rose and eroded away. This #EarthScienceWeek, explore the geologic history of Mount Rainier! NPS Video. Available with audio description at https://go.nps.gov/1pcf0e. ~kl |

Caught a wild sunset last night at Mount Rainier 😳 Mount Rainier is one of the most beautiful mountains in North America. Did you know that it has 26 named glaciers on it? Pretty wild if you ask me 🤯 This is easily one of the best places to visit in the Pacific Northwest, without a doubt. A must-see. #pnw #pacificnorthwest #summer #sunrise #cinematic #washingtonstate #hiking | Ryan Resatka

Sunrise is well-known for its spectacular vistas and during its development, early park designers worked to ensure that these vistas would be left unimpaired. Care was taken during the construction of the road to minimize road scars and power lines were buried under the road. This footage was most likely filmed around 1930 after the road was graded in 1929 and before it was paved in 1931.
