Pacific North-West during the summer time is a treasure trove of alpine lakes, wildflower-filled meadows, gleaming glacial basins, thundering waterfalls and more.

Rainier carries its own personality and is a very unique climb, quips one of our climbing guides. It may not be comparable to a Himalayan climb, but there is something special about climbing Mt.
