Hiking

The tranquil ambience of Dead Horse Creek can be seen and heard as you hike up the Skyline and Dead Horse Creek Trail. There are small waterfalls along the way and keep an eye out for lively marmots and chipmunks. Remember, they are wild animals, so admire them from a safe distance.

Hiking

On the trail at Mount Rainier you will meet many animals that are probably already used to humans. You can spot marmots everywhere. Many chipmunks also cross the path, but you should always remember that they are wild animals.
