Mount Rainier Guidebook
Outdoor activities
A unique and unexpected sanctuary in the city. This park has dozens of lily and lotus pools and beautiful long boardwalks over the marsh. Flowers bloom and peak throughout June and July, but it's a lovely spot to visit year-round. Lots of wildlife sightings too, including turtles, fish, great blue heron, and frogs. Despite it's small size, it's one of the National Parks! A 15 minute car ride or a 4.8 mile bike ride through the bike trail system to get there from the house.
