The Skyline Trail

The Skyline Trail Loop has it all: glacier views, waterfalls, stunning valleys. It’s hard to imagine more beauty packed into a single hike. The trail begins at the Jackson Visitor Center. Most hikers proceed counterclockwise, but the clockwise route is also spectacular. Because of its length and total elevation gain, most hikers consider this a hard hike. The Skyline Trail Loop is one of the most popular hikes for Strava members visiting Mount Rainier National Park.
