Day Hike in Rainier – Skyline Trail Loop

Want a day trip to Rainier and hike but don't want to drive, park or worry about gas prices?

This trip will be a small group of no more than 5 guests in a comfortable 12 passenger van with AC. A fresh healthy, but hearty lunch will be provided (all allergies taken into consideration). 

We will leave from Issaquah Highland Park and Ride and drive the 2 1/2 hour drive to Rainier. The hike will be the Skyline Loop trail, which is 6.5 miles long, 1788 elevation gain and starts from the Paradise Inn parking lot. 

There is a short detour off this trail to Myrtle falls that only adds 0.8 miles and 150 feet that is worth taking as well.

All you have to do is bring yourself, hiking boots and light backpack and I will take care of the rest.
