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.

Hiking Grove of the Patriarchs, Mount Rainier
For a day trip on Rainier, we headed over to Grove of The Patriarchs after doing another hike. This one is just 1.5 miles round trip and is a fifteen minute drive away from other popular hikes so they are easily doable in one day.

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!
