Things To Do

Mount Rainier

Myrtle Falls

Beautiful waterfall with a paved trail from the visitor center!

Summit House Restaurant

We took the Crystal Mountain Resort gondola up to the Summit House for lunch! The view from the top is beautiful and on a clear day you can see 5 peaks, Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams, Mt. St. Helens, and the Cascades! The gondola tickets were slightly pricey but worth it on a clear day!

Ashford Creek Pottery

Beautiful gallery with local art for sale and a small museum!

Copper Creek Inn Restaurant & Lodging

Where we are all staying and has a restaurant right at the entrance of our property! They have fantastic food and pie! The restaurant also offers a packed lunch which includes a deli sandwich, beer or wine, and a dessert to take up the mountain with you!

Wildberry Restaurant

Great restaurant with authentic Nepalese food! Very quick service and fantastic food. We both got the Chicken Thali which was great!

Paradise Village Hotel & Restaurant

We did not get a chance to dine here but the food looks great! People here were dressed slightly nicer than our hiking attire and there was about a half an hour wait. Make sure you make a reservation if you would like to go!

Northwest Trek Wildlife Park

Amazing wildlife park with plenty of local animals! There is a free tram ride (Discovery Tram Tours) through the free-roam area which is 435 acres! We saw Roosevelt elk, bison, caribou, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, deer, and a swan! They also have plenty of other exhibits with other native animals as well!

Mill Haus Cider Co.

We went here to drink some local cider and were not disappointed! They have a variety of ciders, which we tried a flight of, as well as some delicious looking food on a huge campus!

Costco Wholesale

Great place to stock up on supplies! The brides have a membership if you need one!

Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad

We have not had a chance to do this yet! "Take in the sites of the Mt. Rainier region while sitting in luxury seating and enjoy delicious meals. This historic train offers unique experiences like Whiskey Trains, Brunch Trains, and even a Polar Express Train Experience."

RailCycle Mt. Rainier

We have not had a chance to do this yet! "Get some exercise and see the sights first-hand on the rail cycle! This unique experience provides guests with an immersive experience while they peddle a 4-person bike through the scenic Mt. Rainier landscape."

Recycled Spirits of Iron Sculpture Park

We have not had a chance to do this yet! "From the imagination of Dan Klennert, this eccentric sculpture park comprises a random collection of animals, monsters, motorcycle riders, and structures. These sculptures are uniquely fashioned from a variety of recycled materials. This unique attraction is a must-see on your trip through Mt. Rainier and be sure to have your camera ready!"

E Z Times Horse Rides

We have not had a chance to do this yet! "Horseback riding offers a unique blend of exhilaration and tranquility, making it an enticing activity for many. The scenic area around Mt. Rainier provides the perfect backdrop amidst the rhythmic clip-clop of hooves. Embrace a renewed sense of connection with nature and enjoy the open, mountain air with a loved on or friend."
