Climb Mt Rainier.

Mt Rainier.
14,411 ft.


Welcome to the world of glaciers. A peak that could serve to be a stepping stone for, Denali, or eventually Everest.

Need help getting to the top? Wanna climb with a top notch guide?
Rainier Mountaineering Inc. is currently the largest mountain guide service in the US.
They write, "Mount Rainier, at 14,410 feet, is the most extensively glaciated volcanic peak in the continental United States. It offers limitless mountaineering possibilities to both aspiring and experienced mountaineers. The combination of high altitude, various route choices, and Northwest weather make this a truly unique experience."

These guys will guide you to the top and teach all the skills you need along the way for $795. That price will be a 3 day summit trip journey.

Check out Summit Post's Rainier Page for more on the mountain and descriptions of all the routes.

Of course if going to the top is not your think you could consider hiking the Wonderland Trail which is a 93 mile full circle around the mountain. You will probably gain better view's of Rainier than those who actually climb it. Although, those on top may have better view's of everything else.
