The Burroughs Mountain Trail is a challenging, but incredibly rewarding hike. This is one of my favorite hikes in Mount Rainier National Park! The 9 mile roundtrip hike yields stunning views of Mount Rainier, incredible flora, and often quite a few marmots. If you don’t feel like hiking the full 9 miles, I recommend hiking at least the first 3 miles of this trail (for a 6 mile roundtrip hike) to get a taste of the full adventure!

Distance: 9 miles roundtrip Elevation gain: 2500 feet Difficulty: Hard Pass/permit: National Park Pass Pets: Not allowed Road access: Paved road (park at Sunrise)
