Description
Experience the very best of two of Washington’s incredible national parks on this epic six-day tour. This trip perfectly blends challenge, adventure, history, and comfort. From high alpine ridges and glaciated volcanoes filled with dramatic waterfalls and vibrant wildlife—to moss-draped giant trees, rugged coastlines, and lush rainforests—this trip truly has it all. To top it off, we will be lodging and dining in style at the iconic historic lodges, staying three nights in the Olympics and two nights in paradise on Mount Rainier.
Day by day highlights include—a classic ridge traverse along the Olympic mountain range, over a mile above sea level; a stunning coastal hike to Shi Shi Beach, one of the world’s most beautiful beaches; a trek through the renowned Hoh Rainforest, home to some of Washington’s largest and oldest trees; an iconic hike on Mount Rainier past the famous Reflection Lakes, offering breathtaking views of the volcano and surrounding peaks; an alpine meadow hike through a wildflower wonderland with panoramic views of a majestic glacier; and a visit to an unforgettable waterfall.

DIFFICULTY LEVEL 2
Scale of 1-5. 1 is least difficult; 5 is most difficult
Many of our hikes on this tour are on well-established trails, but we do hike in areas (such as coastlines) where trails are not established. Hiking can be rocky, muddy, on slick moss-covered rocks, and other types of rugged terrain. Although we’ve rated the max elevation at 1,800 feet, our hike to Camp Muir on Mount Rainier can include as much as 4,600 feet of elevation gain if we’re able to reach the famous mountaineer’s camp.
