Longmire Historic District

Highlight • Historical Site

Visit historic Longmire where you will find the Wilderness Information Center, which holds a significant place in the history of Mount Rainier National Park. Once the park's headquarters, this site was originally James Longmire's homestead, offering lodging and a mineral springs resort. While the park headquarters have moved, the original 1916 headquarters building now houses a museum that preserves the park's early days. In addition, you'll also find the National Park Inn, a restaurant, and a general store within the vicinity.

Skyline Trailhead, Mount Rainier National Park

Highlight • Trail

You'll find the trailhead near the entrance of the visitor center, where stone steps adorned with a quote from John Muir will guide your way. The trail skirts right alongside the mountain offering breathtaking views and glimpses of glaciers. As you hike through the diverse plant-filled terrain, keep an eye out for playful marmots. Even on less-than-ideal weather days, the trail's alpine garden beauty is not to be missed.
