awe-inspiring. Dont forget your camera. This 10-hour day trip is a

before we continue into Mount Rainier National Park. In the park, we&#8217;ll
linger at several scenic lookout points and gaze at the natural wonders
- crashing waterfalls, diverse plant life, and the snowcapped summit.
Youll have time to purchase lunch along the way. In the late afternoon,
well follow a different route back to Seattle, taking in even more
great scenery.</p>
