Summer Time in the Mountains
Sunny, Warm Hikes through Meadows of Wildflowers and Alpine Lakes
Alpine meadows splashed with vibrant colors of wildflowers, Mt. Rainier peaking out from every corner of your hike or mountain bike ride, lazy days at the alpine lakes finished off with a cold beer on the patio surrounded by mountan vistas....just a few of the moments you experience in the long days of summer in Mt. Rainier's backyard.
Crystal Mountain and adjacent Mt. Rainier National Park offer limitless summer recreational opportunities. Hiking, mountain biking, mountaineering, wildlife and wildflower viewing are all within close access of our facilities. Crystal Mountain is surrounded by wilderness - both Mt. Rainier National Park and US Forest Service areas offer over 250,000 acres of wilderness. The Sunrise side of Rainier (our side) gives you wonderful views of the Emmons Glacier, the largest glacier anywhere in the lower 48.
