Just keep in mind that some areas can be quite steep or require short hikes. But the audio guide is engaging for all ages, which helps keep them entertained as you explore!

Q: Is it easy to find parking at Mount Rainier?

A: Parking can vary depending on the season and the time of day. In peak summer, it gets crowded, especially at popular spots like Paradise and Sunrise.
