My Favorites
4.3 mile Moderate to difficult hike inside Mt Rainier National Park. There are some steep & rocky spots and walking sticks would be handy. Gorgeous views-totally worth it.

Trailhead: Osborne Mountain
Close by and beautiful scenery
This 3.2 mile moderate hike is very popular, and is one of my favorites. It is a steep climb but the views are amazing. The lookout has been removed for renovations. Hopefully it restored soon because it is definitely something to see.
