This just happens to be one of the most photographed parts of Mount Rainier National Park.

The trailhead is located near Paradise Inn, and it's ranked as moderate. If you can handle a six-mile hike, you'll probably love this one.

While the climb is gradual, it can be tough at times. Spikes and poles are recommended during the snowy season, which can last until June.

It certainly isn't uncommon.

The views are remarkable in every direction.

It's really no wonder why this is one of the most popular hikes in the park, which is really saying something.

While the trail is open for most of the year (weather permitting), this path is definitely best taken in the summer.
