Detailed itinerary

Experience Mount Rainier like a local with this relaxed, small-group photo tour. Instead of driving into the national park or fighting for limited viewpoints, you’ll be taken directly to one of the region’s most striking and accessible Rainier overlooks—located in the beautiful foothill community of Tehaleh.

Your tour begins with pickup in Seattle or SeaTac. Enjoy a scenic drive through the foothills as the mountain gradually comes into view. Upon arrival, you’ll stop at The Posts café, a welcoming local spot offering coffee, pastries, and restrooms.

From there, it’s a short, easy walk to the panoramic viewpoint—a favorite for photographers, locals, and travelers seeking that perfect Rainier shot. Spend 30–45 minutes taking photos, exploring the area, and enjoying the open space and forest scenery.
