Snowshoe Trip to Mount Rainier with Outdoor Rec at Joint Base Lewis-McChord
The Northwest Adventure Center is located on North Fort Lewis and does all kinds of guided trips including photography, sight-seeing, climbing, camping, hiking, snowshoeing, etc. I had seen the trips advertised but just never signed up for one until recently. I highly recommend doing a trip with them because we had a blast! Here was our experience and what to expect.

Hiking Naches Peak Loop, Mount Rainier
Naches Peak Loop is my favorite Hike since we've lived here (so far)! This hike is about three miles long round trip. There is about 600 feet of elevation gains. If you take it slow I think the younger kiddos will be fine, Aurora did the whole thing without asking to be carried!
