We returned with the kids to the Naches Loop Trail for another excellent hike near Mount Rainier. Today is Washington Trails Day so hiking was for sure in order. The trail-head was busy but not overcrowded, and we were able to park and get moving pretty quickly. The Naches Loop Trail is at an elevation over 5200 feet and the loop trail is about 3.2 miles around. The kids did great, enjoying the variety of wildflowers and even seeing the moon in the sky in the middle of a bright sunny day. It is definitely recommended to hike in the clockwise direction, so the uphill is in the beginning and the sweeping views of Mount Rainier are in front of you for the second half of the hike.
