Around and Near the Park Naches Peak Loop and Tipsoo Lake At the very top of Chinook Pass on Highway 410 are two parking lots that lead to a stunning 3.2-mile round-trip hike on the Naches Peak Loop. You’ll first come to the Tipsoo Lake parking lot, which is a popular place to catch the Naches Peak Loop trail. The north side of the loop is on the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, and the south side of the loop is in Mount Rainier National Park, so your furry companions will need to turn back at the park boundary or continue down the Pacific Crest Trail to visit Dewey Lake. This trail provides lakes, meadows, and stunning mountain views. Those who have less time or don’t want to stray too far from their vehicle can park at Tipsoo Lake, which is in the park, and view one of the most famous views of Mount Rainier reflected in a wildflower-ringed lake. Get there early in the morning before the wind picks up, when the lake water is like glass, for the best reflections. Sheep Lake to Sourdough Gap If you pass the Tipsoo Lake parking area, just around the corner, past a foot bridge, is another parking area for the Pacific Crest Trail managed by the U.S. Forest Service. Heading south from this parking area will take you to Tipsoo Lake; north will take you along the Pacific Crest Trail to Sheep Lake, Sourdough Gap, and beyond. Sheep Lake is a 3.6-mile round trip with a modest 400-foot elevation gain. The trail to and beyond Sheep Lake is lined with wildflowers. You can cool off in the lake and continue up Sourdough Gap. There are Forest Service campsites around Sheep Lake available on a first-come, first-served basis. You can cool off in the lake and continue up Sourdough Gap for more adventure. This is the Pacific Crest Trail; you can hike all the way to Canada.

Top 10 Wildflower Hotspots at Mount Rainier

The meadows around Tipsoo Lake at the top of Chinook Pass are easy to view from the road, as are the meadows surrounding the Sunrise and Paradise areas on Mount Rainier.   Crystal Mountain Resort's Mount Rainier gondola can whisk visitors up to 6,872 feet and put them in the heart of wildflower meadows. Any of these sites are a good option for folks of all ages, and physical abilities.   Learn more at www.visitrainier.com. Top 10 Wildflower Locations  1. Reflection Lake You don’t have to venture far from the car to be dazzled by the scenery if you start your hike at Reflection Lakes. There are two approaches to Reflection Lakes; the longer approach is from Paradise on the Lakes Trail — the shorter approach is from the Reflection Lakes trailhead on the Stevens Canyon Highway. If the wildflower displays are not enough to make you heady, there’s the postcard view of Mount Rainier. It gets even better — when Mount Rainier is not obscured by clouds the mountain casts its reflection in the lakes (hence, Reflection Lakes). Stroll along the lakeshore on the designated trail or venture a further onto the Lakes Trail for different wildflower displays and views. If you are lodging inside the park or nearby you can view these lakes at sunset, watch Mount Rainier turn rosy when tinted with alpenglow. 2. Sheep Lake This luminous gem is not only a spectacular day hike; it is also ideal for an easy backpack for beginning backpackers or families with children. Since Sheep Lake lies outside the park, you don’t need to make reservations to camp — campsites are on a first-come first-serve basis. The hike begins on the Pacific Crest Trail at Chinook Pass and heads east on an easy grade. As you hike toward the lake look for Indian paintbrush, false hellebore, Western pasqueflower, sweetly-scented valerian and more. Look back for views of Mount Rainier or down to the green meadows that border state Route 410 as ... (Centralia Chronicle)

6 places to see 'extravagantly beautiful' flowers at Mount Rainier

Northeast side of the park. There are several options for campsites along the highway, both before and after the trailhead, which is near Chinook Pass.Get more info on Sheep Lake here. Jessi Loerch / The Herald Mount Rainier dominates the views on the Skyline Trail near Paradise. ParadiseThe flowers are starting to pop out at Paradise, although it'll be a bit yet before they're at peak bloom. You have lots of options at Paradise. You can just have a picnic or you can enjoy one of the many trails. Paradise is on the south side of Mount Rainier.I'd suggest the Skyline Trail Loop, which offers grand mountain views and excellent waterfall and wildflower viewing. It's one of the best trails I've ever hiked. You get a huge payoff for not a lot of work. The trail is 6 miles with about 1,400 feet of gain. You'll barely notice the climbing while you gawk at the views.I didn't get to hike it this weekend, but a quick check of WTA's trip reports show that flowers are blooming. There's still some snow on the trail. Judging from what I saw while at Paradise, the flowers haven't peaked yet and you'll be able to enjoy them for a while yet. Check the trip reports before you go. This is a popular trail and it gets regular updates. Jessi Loerch / The Herald Don't worry if it's a cloud day, Summerland is still well worth the visit. SummerlandI would be willing to hike Summerland every year if I could. This is a truly magical hike. On a clear day, you get nice views of Rainier. But even on a cloudy day, this is a gorgeous spot. (I wrote about it earlier here.)Summerland is a broad, ridiculously lush meadow with small streams burbling through it.I can't really put its beauty into words. You're just going to have to go yourself. The trail is just under 9 miles round trip with nearly 2,000 feet of gain.Summerland is near Sunrise on the northeast corner of the park. Get more info and directions here. essi Loerch / The Herald Jerry Weatherhogg hikes through Spray Park near Mount Rainier with his daughter Hazel on his back. Spray ParkSpray Park is an extremely popular hike on the northwest corner of the park. The trailhead starts from Mowich Lake, a lovely lake next to a small walk-in campground.The trail features, again, really excellent views of the mountain and seemingly endless meadows of wildflowers. The hike is a... (HeraldNet (blog))
