Traveler Tips
Don't mind the weather: it was raining a lot but you can borrow all the necessary gear plus the canopy is going to help, not mentioning the mistiness of the area with the foggy weather: just sensational!
Breakfast, lunch, and water are included but I just felt it was a bit pricy considering what I experienced.

Specular Experience in every way
Daniel_O, Jun 2022
Owen our Tour guide Owen was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all questions. The hike with snowshoes was a first. Even tough it rained and snowed our tour guide made sure we were comfortable. It snowed the night before and the scenery was beautiful. Breakfast and lunch was a very good touch. I highly recommend Evergreen Escapes. Very professional and well organized
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the kind words and for sharing your experience! Really cool to hear it was your first time snowshoeing, and even cooler to hear you had a good time even with a bit of rain.
Hope to have you back with us in the future!
Cheers,
DJ | Evergreen Escapes
Excellent day trip from Seattle!
Sandra_G, Jun 2022
What a wonderful day on Mt Rainer. The little bit of rain was to be expected, but did not dampen the experience. Owen did a great job as our guide to all the facts and history of the area. We were so impressed with his knowledge of the native culture, land, and traditions that allowed us to enjoy this beautiful National Park. Lunch was delicious and the lodge in Paradise is not to be missed. Snowshoeing was a blast!
We also had excellent communication with the tour company for any questions that we had. Highly recommend!

Hi Sandra,

Delivered the best experience
Beverly_R, Jun 2022
A truly refreshing experience to be with guides as knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the mountain as those 2 young men! Thank you for make us feel safe while delivering on exploring the hidden waterfalls and old growth forests of Mt Rainier.
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Hi Beverly,
One thing about Evergreen Escapes guides is they definitely are passionate about their natural areas! We think passing along that enthusiasm and knowledge is one of the most rewarding things, too. Glad you had a good time!

Great Experience! Our tour guide was amazing
Antonieta_C, May 2022
My son and I had a great experience during this trip. Everything from the van they picked up us, to the snacks, equipment, and lunch was high quality. Our guide was friendly, very attentive to your needs, and nice. The places we visit and the activities we did were also great. Overall a good experience. Highly recommend it
Response from Host, May 2022
Hi Antonieta,

Worth it
Shelly_C, May 2022
Completely worth it to have a tour guide take you to the best hiking areas while provide interesting history and facts about the area. The food was good, not overly fancy (you're hiking after all), and more than enough to satisfy. This is a way better option than trying to find multiple parking areas on your own or getting through gates (if they are open) and around to trailheads you aren't familiar with. Having someone who led the way and made sure we had everything we needed took away all stress and let us enjoy the views.
Response from Host, May 2022
Hi Shelly,
Glad you had such a good time! Traveling and exploring are so much more enjoyable without the stresses of doing it all on your own.
Hope to have you back with us in the future!
Cheers,
DJ | Evergreen Escapes
This all inclusive trip is the best.

Snow shoeing
Roslyn_R, Mar 2022
The snow shoeing of Mt. Rainer only lasted about 2 hours in total. The view was nice; however, I’m not sure how it’s justified with the price. The lunch was advertised as salmon, grilled chicken, and wraps/sandwiches that are locally sourced. We instead received store bought cold soup, cold chicken, quinoa salad. It was not as advertised. The breakfast was store bought muffins. Nothing special. Not from a local bakery etc. Overall was not impressed, and feel like this should cost significantly less.
Response from Host, Mar 2022
Hi Roslyn,
I am very sorry you did not enjoy your tour with us. We always appreciate constructive feedback in areas where we can improve or failed to meet guest expectations. I will address your list of concerns here for anyone else who may be reading this before deciding to book a tour with our team.
The food listed in the tour description isn't a comprehensive list of what's provided, but rather a general guideline to what our meals might include. All of the food we provide on our tours is locally sourced and purchased from a Pacific Northwest co-op deli, PCC, who supports Washington, Oregon, and Idaho farmers, ranchers, and suppliers and opts for organic choices whenever possible. The muffins and pastries that we provide come from Alki Bakery, a local bakery that has been family-owned and operated since 1985. The cookies served after lunch are from a mom and daughter owned bakery who took a chance on starting their business when the covid shutdowns brought them home from work. As a locally owned and operated company ourselves, we have worked hard to build strong relationships with our local food providers and we are very proud of that fact.
Our lunches are served picnic style in the National Parks as these remote destinations have limited to no indoor facilities or food service options. There is no public kitchen or other facilities where we can actually cook food in the field (the beauty of traveling to the National Parks is the ruggedness of the experience!). On colder winter days, we bring soup that we heat up in the field with a camp stove, so it should have been warm if not hot.
The overall price of our tour cannot be summarized simply by the length of the snowshoe walk and the food included throughout the day. When you travel with Evergreen Escapes, you are supporting a local business that pays their employees fair living wages. We support the national park by maintaining permits that many other tour companies choose not to have due to their costly annual fees but which allow us to take travelers to areas of the park that other companies cannot go. We support other local businesses whenever possible, and we allocate funds each year for environmental issues important to our team through our participation in 1% For the Planet. This is just to name a few of the other costs that go into the total value of the tour outside of the tangible inclusions.
Thank you again for bringing to our attention that we have not quite explained these details in our tour description to properly prepare guests for traveling with Evergreen Escapes. I am sorry again that we fell short of your expectations and wish you the best in all your future travels.
Kind regards,
DJ | Evergreen Escapes
