The local experience
Meadow area on the south flank of Mount Rainier, around 1,650 meters, with the park visitor center, trails through flowers in summer and glacier views. It is one of the snowiest places in the world in winter.
The park’s former headquarters in the forest beside the Nisqually River, with rustic stone-and-wood buildings, a small museum and the Trail of the Shadows loop around the mineral springs.
