Itinerary
Mount Rainier National Park is the jewel of the Pacific Northwest. With Mount Rainier towering over the Cascade mountain range at 14, 411 feet, the mountain is impossible to miss.
We'll journey from downtown Seattle to Sunrise Visitor's Center on the North side of Mount Rainier. From there we'll put on our hiking shoes and tackle the Burroughs Trail.
Burroughs Mountain has been described as a mountain against a mountain. At over 7800 feet, Burroughs Mountain sets right up against the northeastern face of Mount Rainier, hugging the Winthrop Glacier. It offers one of the most dramatic views of Washington's largest volcano.
The hike is moderate to challenging six miles. There is no technical climbing and those in moderate to fit condition will find this hike to be both challenging and rewarding. You don't need special gear or prior experience - just an adventurous spirit!
Stop At:
• Mount Rainier National Park, 39000 State Rt 706 E, Ashford, WA

Sophia led the hike up the Burroughs trail and it was incredible. I went solo and she worked me into a small group of three others and let me just say, we had a Blast!! She provided transportation to and from the trail which makes it really convenient if you do not have a rental car. She made sure everyone was properly prepared for the day, managed the pace of hike, provided great snacks, and a hearty lunch. It was just so well organized. Mt Rainier was shining that day which made the trip even more special. We also saw mountain goats, marmots, pikas, even a sow and cub. The park is just so beautiful and Sophia made sure we had a great experience. This was absolutely the highlight of my trip. I highly recommend "Adventures in Seattle"!! I will be booking another adventure with Sophia when I get back to the area!dvc130

Wow! You are going to love this hike with “Adventures In Seattle”! Both Sophia and Kevin are cool people who make you feel welcome and appreciated. Sophia was very accommodating and well organized in helping me understand what to expect. Kevin took me on the hike to Mount Rainier National Park, and it was like a non-stop conversation from pick-up to drop-off. Kevin is so down to earth, knowledgeable, and has so many interesting stories from his experiences outdoors. The hike itself captures the beauty of the National Park and Mount Rainier and it is timed and organized perfectly. Kevin is very knowledgeable of the Park itself, but he also gave pointers on the skill and technique of hiking, which is a takeaway I can use when hiking in other areas. The hike itself was, in my opinion, a notch above “moderate” in skill level. When we completed the hike, I feel like I accomplished something and felt good about myself. I highly recommend this hike (or anything else from “Adventures In Seattle”) and look forward to another adventure with them during my next visit to Seattle!poojithap2020
