The Silver Forest Trail is another shorter hike in Mount Rainier National Park, that typically doesn’t see quite as many crowds. You’ll enjoy a 2.5 mile roundtrip hike through incredible douglas firs and pine forest. When you reach the overlook, the view is predominantly of the Emmons Glacier on Mount Rainier. You may even be able to see where the White River begins at the bottom of the glacier!
