Wonderland Trail: around Mount Rainier

Mount Rainier National Park, Washington, a loop around the volcano

The Wonderland Trail circles Mount Rainier through forest, river valleys and subalpine meadows, climbing and descending between each ridge and valley. The National Park Service describes about 93 miles (150 km) with roughly 27,000 feet of elevation gain and as much loss, usually walked in ten to fourteen days from Longmire, Sunrise, White River or Mowich Lake.

Before you go

A wilderness permit is required for every night in the park and reservations are strongly recommended for the summer; the park also allows first-come permits a day ahead at its wilderness information centres. Snow often covers the high sections until July and rivers can be difficult to ford after rain. Plan food caches or resupply at the road access points and carry a stove and bear-proof food storage.

The route

The track comes from the OpenStreetMap relation "Wonderland Trail" and forms one continuous loop. The distance measured on this geometry is shorter than the 93 miles published by the National Park Service, a difference of mapping and simplification rather than a different route. It is computed without altitudes and is not a walking time.
