Review:
Moraine Trail offers a respite from the tourist crowds at Mount Rainer National Park, located within its southwestern region.
The 2.2-mile round-trip hike is accessible via the Skyline and Deadhorse Creek Trails, which embark from the Paradise trailhead, and offers an excursion down into the Nisqually River Valley. The trail experiences approximately 400 feet in up and down elevation change throughout its mostly pleasant route, which takes hikers to the edge of the moraine for spectacular views of the Nisqually Glacier several hundred feet beneath the summit. Route maps are available at both the Longmire Wilderness Information Center and the Paradise Visitor Center.
Moraine Trail, 55210 238th Avenue East, Ashford, WA 98304
