Description

from Mt. Rainier Tour

Meeting at the Hyatt Regency Seattle at 808 Howell Street, our tour begins in our brand new 14 passenger mini coach as we get an early morning start to start the day. Custom ordered with the best AC/Heating system for your comfort. Your knowledgable guide will share information throughout the trip to prepare you for your Mt. Rainier visit.

After a timely restroom stop, your first nature stop will be at Longmire where you'll have the opportunity to step out into the fresh mountain air and start a day that will be truly memorable. Should you choose, you can hike the Trail of the Shadows, a leisurely 0.7-mile loop through old growth forest and meadows.

Paradise is famous for its glorious views and wildflower meadows. When James Longmire's daughter-in-law, Martha, first saw this site, she exclaimed, "Oh, what a paradise!" And what a paradise it is. Here you will have adequate time to enjoy lunch and spend time hiking at a leisurely pace throughout the lodge area. Bring your binoculars, and you might even see climbers as they hike towards the Muir base camp on their way to the 14,410' summit. You will have ample time to enjoy Mother Nature whether it is a simple stroll on nice pathways or a more vigorous hike around Paradise Lodge.

Mt. Rainier is known for its splendor for not only the mountain but for its majestic waterfalls. During your Mt. Rainier visit us, you'll also have the opportunity to see and stop at waterfalls including Christine Falls. With the magnificent stone bridge framing the cascading water, you'll come to enjoy the beauty of the alpine wilderness and the brilliance of Mt. Rainier National Park. Your guide will even show you a unique photo tip to get your best waterfall photo.

One of the most beautiful lakes to photograph in the United States is Reflection Lake. Mt. Rainier sits directly behind the lake, and weather permitting, you'll have an opportunity to create a memorable photo on your trip with us. We'll give you ample time to get your "Bucket Shot" photo, and your guide will help to get the best group photo to remember your day with us.

"Terry thank you. Our tour would not have been the same without you"

Reviewed September 30, 2020 NEW

You know I never used to be a tour guide type of guy. I would just rent a car and drive around and get to know a place. But in this case we decided to purchase a Seattle tour with Shutter. Thanks to Terry, it was an enjoyable experience. He has such a calming voice. But also knowledgeable. Seattle is lucky to have Terry. But he's so cool, he sees it the other way around. The reason why he does such a great job is simply because he loves Seattle so much. Thanks Terry

"Highly recommended tour in Seattle"

Reviewed September 15, 2020

This tour was the highlight of our Seattle trip! Despite COVID & the smoke due to the Oregon fires, we are so glad to have taken this tour. Terry was our guide, he was very professional & knowledgeable of Seattle’s history & background information on the places we went to. My husband & I had a great time. Terry also gave us quite a few tips in taking great pictures. Thanks Terry! Definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking to visit Seattle.

"Terry's Tour"

My friend and I booked a tour with Terry to visit the Snoqualmie Falls. The tour also included a few other Seattle highlights. Everything from the pick up, to drop off and everything in between was professional. Terry's communication was top notch. I especially enjoyed the information about the locations we visited and the tips for better photos at each stop.

This trip was amazing! Preston our guide was super informative. He kept us entertained the whole trip. Even went above and beyond to give us photo tips and be our personal photographer for the group. This trip knocked it out of the park.
