There were several stops where we hiked. I think the longest was 1.5 miles. There are inclines and one trail has a lot of tree roots. None were overly difficult for me as i walk daily. There were two people that had difficulty, though. They were able to enjoy the tour but chose not to walk the two more difficult trails. The guide was able to help them determine whether they should try it. Hope this helps!

Absolutely.

I was really pleased with the tour I took with Evergreen Escapes. The guide was great and took us to all the hotspots. All food, snacks, liquids provided. The group was small and they pick you up and drop you off at your hotel. I was there over the July 4th holiday and it was beautiful.

Hi! My daughter and I took this tour yesterday! It was unbelievable! Eric was our guide and 4 others joined us. The weather was perfect, it was a clear blue sunny day. Check the weather for the day you go. Erik was knowledgeable and entertaining. We travelled to Mt Rainer and made several restroom stops and also a stop to have coffee and some bake goods on the way. I can not say enough good things about Eric. The depth of knowledge and detail about the area that he shared was fascinating. When we reached our destination at Mt Rainer we geared up with snow shoes and spent 2 hours on the Mountain. I didn’t want the day to end. There were people in Short sleeve shirts on the Mountain...again, check the weather and go prepared for cooler temps. You can always take off layers. The lunch was delicious (if you do not eat meat make sure you request vegetarian) if you don’t request, there was plenty of other options. The food was delicious. Eric, can you share the recipe for the rice and the chipotle sauce? :)We set up a blanket and ate picnic style , again, no wind, warm temps and clear blue sky. After lunch we made a few stops on the way back to Seattle, one stop was a short hike through a forest where Eric provided more entertaining stories and factual detailed information on the forest itself. I can’t say this enough, this day was exceptional. Request Eric if you can!!!! With all the closings due to the Virus, this is a great way to get out and enjoy nature!!! Did I say I highly recommend this???

Dear visitor I visited Mount Rainier during summer time. It was awasome! Not sure you can make it during Winter time. Should ask the travel tour agency. Sincerely FMF

Yes you will, but I would suggest to call ahead because the tour company is very accommodating and I'm sure they would provide a safe option. You will also have plenty of space in the van to bring along plenty of safe snacks for yourself as well. Most of the in-between stop snacks contain gluten (cookies, pretzels, etc.)
