The Mount Rainier National Park Day Hikes Topographic Map Guide contains detailed maps for 18 of Mount Rainier's finest day hikes. It includes well-known hikes and some off-the-beaten-path trails. They range from easy strolls to strenuous climbs, selected to give you a sampling of all the park has to offer. Together, they cover more than 100 miles of adventures. One-third of the selected hikes are less than 6 miles long, two-thirds are less than 8 miles, and one hike is 13 miles long.

Each of the 18 maps include directions to the trailhead, the total distance to complete the hike, and an estimate of the degree of difficulty. Also provided are elevations of key points on the trail, an elevation profile for the hike, and a calculation of the hike's total elevation gain. Concise trail descriptions will help you find the hikes that best suit your interests, conditioning, and available time.
