Activity Overview: Hiking › Grove of the Patriarchs
This is, perhaps, one of the easiest hikes in Mount Rainier National Park, but one of the most memorable because it's like entering a magical kingdom. This is rare, even in a region with so many really big trees. Think about it. Doesn't "the grove of the patriarchs" have that special ring to it? Like a Tolkien ring? You'll walk through a forest of old growth trees, some a thousand years old, onto an island in the middle of the Ohanapecosh River. Better than some new world created for a virtual reality game, it's all there for you to enjoy again and again.
