Trails

Take a nature walk, horseback ride, or trek down ten miles of shaded trails at the foothills of Mount Rainier. The trill of songbirds keeps you company while you stay protected from the sun under a canopy of firs. Cool your feet and take a lunch break on the rocky shores of the Nisqually River.
