Volcanic Horizons: A Hiker’s Guide to the Wild Trails of Mount Rainier, Washington invites readers into the forests, waterfalls, alpine meadows, ridges, glaciers, and wilderness trails surrounding one of Washington’s most iconic mountains.
Mount Rainier is far more than a snow-covered peak. It is a landscape shaped by volcanoes, glaciers, rivers, forests, changing seasons, and time. Within its national park are trails ranging from short, accessible walks to demanding wilderness adventures, offering something for hikers with different interests and experience levels.
Inside this guide, readers will discover:
The diverse landscapes and ecological zones of Mount Rainier
Forest trails around Longmire and Ohanapecosh
Waterfalls, rivers, lakes, and scenic viewpoints
The famous alpine meadows of Paradise and Sunrise
Higher-elevation trails, ridges, and expansive mountain vistas
Adventures around Spray Park, Mowich, and other wild areas
An introduction to the legendary Wonderland Trail
Backpacking and wilderness-planning considerations
Seasonal hiking considerations and changing mountain conditions
Wildlife observation and responsible trail practices
Essential hiking and backcountry preparation
Safety considerations for changing weather and challenging terrain
Practical checklists for planning memorable mountain adventures
Whether you are preparing for your first Mount Rainier hike or dreaming of a longer wilderness journey, Volcanic Horizons offers an engaging introduction to exploring the mountain on foot.
Step beyond the viewpoints and onto the trails. Discover the forests beneath the volcano, follow the sound of rushing waterfalls, walk through wildflower-filled meadows, and look across horizons shaped by fire and ice.
