3 days in Mt Rainier National Park and I can confirm it is the absolute DREAM! We managed to cram all of the best hikes, sights & swims, into 72 hours. Come along as we drive and hike our way through Rainier’s classic areas (Paradise, Sunrise, Longmire, Carbon & Mowich and Ohanapecosh) all while having one of the most incredible weekends of our entire summer. I’ve included time stamps for all of the hikes, lakes, campsites and park entrances so you can craft your dream itinerary for when you visit. Let us know what we missed in the comments so we can make sure to add it on for our next visit.
