Susan was an excellent... - Susan was an excellent guide, you could tell her passion, energy and knowledge for Mt.Rainer. This hike was moderately difficult and would recommend hiking shoes over sneakers due to the ice and steepness. It was enjoyable to stop at a grocery store for the picnic lunch and coffee (at the grocery store) before heading to the park. We had time to visit the lodge and gift shop too. Incredible experience and would 10/10 recommend. Thanks Susan!

6/5 Stars - A Can’t Miss Tour - Susan was so kind and experienced. She was well-prepared and made the tour accessible to all involved, with a mixed level of activities that all had EPIC views. She knew her facts and history well and also was a great photographer to boot. She was quick to point out good views and had a great understanding of when sites would be best to visit while still remaining flexible. I would full-heartedly recommend taking this tour and any of other tours.

Trip of a lifetime - Such a great experience! The scenery is well worth the price of admission. Susan was a fantastic guide. She knew where to go and what to do. She was very accommodating although most of the day the mountain was behind clouds. She stopped at every possible angle and finally she got us a beautiful view at the end of the trip! Fair warning though, Susan is very used to the mountain and her definitely of an easy hike might be a little more moderate to a non-hiker. We still enjoyed every step, but we were tired when we got back to the city!

Falling snow, beautiful hikes, wildlife, waterfalls, huge Douglas Fir trees, picnics, and more. - Susan did a wonderful job navigating us through Mt Ranier! The landscape was beautiful! It snowed for part of the time we were there. The kids loved playing and hiking in the snow and having the picnic at the summit. This tour gave a wonderful experience of the Pacific NW. We even saw a wild brown bear foraging. Falling snow, beautiful hikes, wildlife, waterfalls, huge Douglas Fir trees (bigger than Redwoods), picnics, and more. We had a great trip. Just be prepared for the drive to Mount Ranier from Seattle. It's quite a long trip with bumpy roads and some traffic but well worth it for us.

Made the most of the weather. - Even though the weather was not to see the peak of Mount Rainier. We made the most of our time on the volcano. Wonderful experience of having lunch in a light snow fall., saw wonderful waterfalls, and was blown away by the giant cedar trees in the park. Definitely would recommend.
