When visiting Washington State or the Seattle, Puget Sound area, as well as the Portland, Oregon area, Mount Rainier has got be to on the list of things to see or explore.
Mount Rainier spiking out at some14400 ft., is the mammoth of the Cascade Mountain Range. It's located pretty much in the center of the mountain range in Washington State, just north of the infamous volcano, Mount Saint Helen's that is still active to this day.
On a clear day this majesties masterpiece is not disappointing in any season, as most of the Seattle, and Puget Sound areas, have a view of it from their backyards or front yards.
Plenty of RV and camping spots dotting the whole Cascade Mountain Range, some parks are private, as well as state and federal sites that usually run a few bucks cheaper. However the state and federal parks can get full pretty quick during holiday weekends in the summer, so a little private park is something you might look out for.
Plenty of recreational as well, from fishing and water sports in the summer to skiing and snowmobiling in the winter. If 'four wheeling' is your fancy, there are plenty of riding trails for your 4x4's, ATVs, and even motor-cross. Horse lovers bring your horses because there are alot of equestrian trails as well.
Nice little mountain towns, nestled in tiny valleys, evergreen forest, as far as the eye can see. Watch out you just may see a Bigfoot, dash across the road.
In Mount Rainer National Park, you will get some spectacular up and close views that will leave you in awe. If traveling by car you can take a scenic drive around the mountain in probably half a day, and for travelers in Seattle or Portland it would make a great day trip. As the sun sets on this one of a kind creation, hues of orange, reds, pinks, purples, greens, shimmer off the western faces of this sheer colossus, standing domineeringly from everything around it.
