The Stomach-Dropping Suspended Bridge Walk You Can Only Find In Washington
For the most part, the Grove of the Patriarchs Nature Trail is the easiest hike in Mount Rainier National Park. It’s a mere 1.2 miles in length, it’s easily accessible, and most of the trail is covered in boardwalks for easy strolling. But the trek also includes a short suspended bridge walk right over a river, which might make some hikers a little uneasy.

You'll feel small standing next to one of the massive Douglas firs, hemlocks or cedars.



That being said, all suspension bridges can be a little nerve-wracking.


You'll love this lush, green trail -- it's easy to see why it's one of the most popular in Mt. Rainier National Park.
The Grove of the Patriarchs Nature Trail features one of the more mellow suspension bridges in the park. If you’re feeling a bit more daring, try the Tahoma Creek Suspension Bridge.
