Mount Rainier is one of the most picturesque locations in the Pacific Northwest with the tag of being the highest peak in Washington state. This active volcano, which is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, nestles within Mount Rainier National Park. More than 97% of it is designated as pure wilderness. Not only is it one of the most glaciated mountains in the USA, but it also has a dense Alpine meadow that’s teeming with majestic wildlife. Tourists throng the park for its natural waterfalls and the famous Wonderland Trail. Imagine relaxing in a scenic place such as a cosy wood cabin with nature at your doorstep. For a lovely stay, check out the best cabins near Mount Rainier, Washington.
