Activities & Attractions in the Mt. Rainier region

Non-Groomed, Cross Country Skiing at Bumping Lake usually has outstanding snow quality with easy access from Hwy 410 west of Naches.

For cross country skiers who prefer a well-graded trail through spectacular open alpine country, the Paradise Valley Road in Mount Rainier National Park can’t be beat. And with Paradise’s epic snowfall...

Nestled between the White Pass downhill ski area and the sprawling William O Douglas Wilderness is one of the most delightful, family-friendly cross-country ski areas in the Northwest.

Although it seems a million miles away from that other world, getting here was remarkably straightforward. I am spending this night in the Copper Creek Hut, part of the Mount Tahoma Trails Association's collection of backcountry retreats.
