Updated April 2026 Hopefully you were able to read about my adventures in North Cascades National Park! After spending a couple of nights at an AirBnB in Chehalis, Washington, I was ready to explore Mt. Rainier National Park. I was able to set out early and got to the park around 6:30 am. It was still too dark to really see any of the landscape or the trailheads. At around 7:30 am, I was parked, had my hiking gear ready and set out on a trail. I started out with Snow Lake Trail.
