One of my favorite hiking trails to do when I’m at home is the Summit Lake Trail just outside the Mount Rainier National Park. Summit Lake is located relatively close to Seattle, and makes for a great half-day hike, or overnight backpacking trip. From the top of the ridge above the lake, there are stunning views of Mount Rainier and the Carbon River Valley 3,000 feet below.

Because Summit Lake is technically located outside the National Park, it’s a great place to enjoy Mount Rainier without having to deal with the fees, reservations, or permits required for many of the hikes and camping facilities within the park.

Pro Tip: Make sure to follow the side trail up the ridge past Summit Lake for stunning 360 degree views of Mount Rainier and a sea of other mountain tops too numerous to name.

Distance: 6.5 miles Elevation Gain: 1,300 ft. Difficulty: Moderate
