CHS 2 Hike - Wonderland Trail: Longmire to Reflection Lakes

Sturdy water-proof footwear and trekking poles are recommended. The trail may be quite muddy  or rocky in certain places. Sunscreen and/or protective clothing is recommended as there is little no tree-cover on certain sections of the trail and full sun-exposure as we hike through the meadows.

 Flush toilets are available behind the Longmire Information Center

 We will stop for a well-deserved lunch break at Paradise Inn with Mt. Rainer dominating the skyline. Please bring small, energizing snacks that are easily consumed during our short 5–10-minute breaks that you can eat on the go!

 My co-leader, Phoebe, and I, are looking forward to sharing this picturesque hike with you. More details about this hike will be provided in the “Hello Hiker” email.
