Wildflowers

This is one of the best places in the US for wildflowers. The firework-like explosion of blooms begin in July and last almost all summer, making Mt Rainier a magical place to get married in the warmest months of Washington state.

An Iconic Mountain

Mount Rainier stands alone at 14,400ft with nothing around it, making for a very dramatic view. It's the most prominent mountain in the contiguous United States - no wonder it's so iconic! The park is also home to the Tatoosh Mountain range, which means that no matter which direction you're looking, you'll have an epic view.
