This 5.5 mile hike is one of the most quintessential hiking trails in the whole of Washington State. It circumnavigates the Paradise area of Mount Rainier National Park and offers amazing scenery. It’s accessible from both the Henry M. Jackson Visitor Center and Paradise Inn. It’s good for hikers at all levels and in July and August is covered with wildflowers. On the hike you’ll get a close up view of Mount Rainier and the Nisqually Glacier. Enjoy Panorama Point at the midway section where you’ll see Mount Saint Helens, Mount Adams, and Mount Hood on clear days.
