Bench and Snow Lake Trail On Mount Rainer, Washington

When a day on Mt. Rainier is filled with clouds or fog, I like to switch to one of the lower elevation hikes. The major hikes at Paradise start at 5,000 feet, so when choosing a lower trailhead, my go-to alternative is the Bench and Snow Lake Trail, at 4,000 feet. Often overlooked by the majority of tourists, this 2.2 mile out and back hike is a favorite with the locals, like me, and visitors who have more time to explore the park.
