Day Hike - Grand Park (Mount Rainier)

If you like a slower-paced hike into some of the most beautiful areas, this is the hike for you. Join us the back way into Mt. Rainier's Grand Park. Don't let the moderate rating scare you. We will not be hiking the full 9 miles and at a slow pace the gain will be achievable by any hiker.
