Trips to the Pacific Northwest are not complete without a drive to Mt. Rainier. Paradise and Sunrise are popular drives. Rangers will tell you about popular long and short hikes from these areas. My favorite place to hike - I'm here every chance I get! Just hiked to Ranger Falls and Green Lake this spring.
