Pinnacle Peak Trail, Mt. Rainier, Washington – voyagevista9.com


When I want to hike a less busy trail in mid-summer while still getting great views, I head to Pinnacle Peak Trail at Mt. Rainier National Park. When the mountain is “out” as we say here, there is a stunning panorama of the Paradise Inn and Meadows, the road up from the Nisqually entrance, and the glaciers that stream down the upper half of the peak.

It is stunning. And when the mountain decides not to come “out”? That’s when a foggy or cloudy day brings a chance to notice what is right at my feet as I hike up the 1,150 feet of elevation to the Pinnacle Peak saddle.
