No Experience Required

You feel the SUV settle into a steady rhythm as the Seattle skyline thins and cedars begin to grow taller than the radio signal. By the time Mount Rainier pulls free of the clouds, its south face is a white, patient dome—glaciers slow-moving like ancient rivers of glass—and the guide has already pointed out the first waterfall plunging from a mossy ledge. The day unfolds as a loop: old-growth forests that hum with birdsong, meadows erupting in lupine and paintbrush, and roadside viewpoints where the mountain fills the rearview like a living map.
