The hike to Shriner Peak Lookout is strenuous at 8.5 miles roundtrip and almost 3500′ of elevation. But if you’re up for a challenge this is one of the best hikes in Mount Rainier National Park! Since it’s so steep, this trail is often a bit quieter than some of the other popular hikes in the park. Be sure to pack extra water for this hike in the summer, as it gets pretty hot and dusty!

Distance: 8.5 miles roundtrip Elevation gain: 3434 feet Difficulty: Hard Pass/permit: National Park Pass Pets: Not allowed Road access: Paved road
