About The Tour

Mount Rainier National Park is centered around an awe-inspiring, iconic volcano — Mount Rainier — and takes you through miles and miles of old-growth forest, up and down a rollercoaster of the Cascade Mountains, past lakes, rivers, and waterfalls, and along scenic hikes through wildflower meadows, up mountains, and through woods. The overlooks along the drive will take your breath away and the serpentine roads leading up to Paradise and Sunrise — the most popular sections of the park — will keep your heart pumping and your camera clicking.

Here are just a few of the fun things you can do on the tour:

• Explore the stunning alpine meadows of Paradise, where wildflowers bloom beneath the imposing backdrop of Mount Rainier's glaciers.

• Witness the first light of day at Sunrise Point, an overlook offering unrivaled views of the mountain's icy flanks and the surrounding wilderness.

• Wander through the ancient forest of the Grove of the Patriarchs, where colossal trees stand sentinel over a tranquil island oasis.

• Stand in awe of Narada Falls as it plunges gracefully over a rugged cliffside, sending misty rainbows through the crisp mountain air.

• Ascend to breathtaking heights aboard the Mount Rainier Gondola at Crystal Mountain.

We first found out about Shaka Guide before our trip to Maui a couple years ago. From our 10-year-olds up to our 18-year-olds and ourselves, we all really enjoyed the guide, commentary, etc for our trip to Maui. Fast forward to last summer and we went to Glacier national Park and my son said it would be cool if there was a Shaka Guide for here… i’m glad we looked because we bought that Parks tour and it was equally informative and entertaining. This morning, I purchased Big Bend National Park, we used it for the Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive today and will use it again tomorrow in the park. This really is one of the best apps! The whole family loves it.

I’m I. The middle of a solo road trip to several of the national parks out west. Shaka Guides have been the best companion! Turn for turn directions are spot on; I know what sites are coming up without having to shuffle around a map while driving; and the stories and facts are great! Also enjoying the music on between! I highly recommend Shaka Guides to everyone, but especially solo travelers!!
