Seattle: Longmire in Mount Rainier Winter Day Tour – Mount Rainier National Park, Washington

After arriving in the National Park, you can anticipate getting out to explore as much of the Longmire area as possible for the day. Experience the beyond the vehicle during walks and hikes with your guide by your side the entire time. If conditions call for snowshoes, your guide will provide an introductory lesson on how to stay safe and enjoy your snowshoe walk.
