FAQ
Do I need to bring food?
Food options in the park are extremely limited, but that is why we stop at a grocery store on our way out there. You will have the opportunity to purchase whatever you would like for lunch, and we provide a cooler with ice packs that you can store it in as well. Of course, if you prefer to bring food from elsewhere, you’re welcome to use our cooler and ice pack from the beginning of the tour as well.
What will the weather be like?
If only we knew… the weather on the mountain tends to be very unpredictable (even from one hour to the next). In general, prepare for cooler temperatures at the higher elevations and the possibility of rain (or snow for many months). During July and August, it may also be hot and sunny (although there may still be considerable snow on the ground), so you may want to bring sunscreen.
What should I wear to Mount Rainier National Park?
Please dress for comfort and the weather. Comfortable shoes (ideally hiking boots with good traction and water resistance) will make a huge difference in your enjoyment of the tour.
Do you have wheelchair accessible buses?
We do not have a wheelchair accesible bus available for this tour. If you will only have a folding wheelchair, it can be stored on any of our buses with advanced notice.
Are there bathrooms on the bus?
None of our mini-coaches are equipped with bathrooms, but our guides make every effort to provide opportunities for a public restroom every 60-90 minutes during our tours.
