Great Hike - The hike was somewhat more difficult than I expected. There were some steep steps and slippery sections on the trail. However, the views were great. Unfortunately, there was too much fog at the Snoqualmie Falls, and we could not see the falls at all.

Great experience - I’ve done many hiking tours before but this by far is one of the best ones I’ve gone on. Our tour guide, Susan, was the sweetest person ever and very knowledgeable. You are definitely getting your moneys worth. The hike itself has just the right amount of challenge surrounded my beautiful sights.

Review - The tour was great 👍 The guide was motivated and inspiring, the summit of Mt. Rainer looked out of a scene of the Bible.

Susan was Fantastic - Our original hike had to be cancelled, however Susan offered us an alternative hike, which is the one I am reviwing.
Susan, our tour guide was fantastic! She was professional, informative, fun, had in-depth knowledge of the areas, and on time.
She was a careful driver, especially in the snowy areas. Susan was able to stop in lots of places, do short walks so as we could get great photos, knowing the best spots, history and interesing facts about each stop.
The main hike up the lower slopes of Mt Rainier and a picnic in the snow was simply amazing!
Thank you for making this such a memorable day for all the right reasons!
We don't believe anybody could be disapointed with Susan or "her" mountain.

A nice hike not far from Seattle. - We were passing through Seattle on a short trip, and wanted to see some sights outside of town. Beautiful scenery. Susan was a great guide and pointed out lots of interesting things to see and learn about. A fun hike that does include some areas of incline and stairs, but not too challenging. Take a backpack to shed or add clothing layers if needed. Bottled water was provided. Bathrooms at the trailhead. Would recommend this to anyone who doesn’t want to commit to an all day event.

Beautiful day trip - The tour guide was punctual and very friendly. The hike was beautiful and advertised well, I didn’t feel pressured to keep pace with the rest of the group and they never went too far ahead. There were plenty of rest stops and several scenic viewpoints. For transportation to and from, the views, and the company, this experience was well worth it.

Trail we were taken on... - Trail we were taken on was a common trail at Twin Falls and a touristy pit stop at Snoqualmie Falls, which made the experience feel cheap for what we paid. Beautiful views and glad I went, but icy conditions were much colder than expected and I had a hard time staying warm, plus the trail to the top viewing point froze over and we couldn’t see it. Overall worthwhile to see the forest and falls when visiting from out of town, but try to go in the autumn instead! And if you’re comfortable renting a car in Seattle and driving there yourself, you don’t need this tour to find the Twin Falls trail or the Snoqualmie Falls pit stop. I didnt want to rent a car or drive so that made this worth it. Best case scenario this is a 3.5-4/5 star experience if numbers matter to you.

Beautiful hike, more difficult than advertised - The hike was gorgeous and are guide did a good job setting the pace. However, it was slightly more difficult than the “moderate” listing. Folks should probably know it’s on the more difficult side of moderate.
The guide was knowledgeable, but not very talkative which was fine. The 35 minute ride from the city to the hike was silent, again not a big deal but would have been nice to have some landmarks pointed out before members of the tour started asking questions in the last 10 minutes.
