Private Chauffeur to Mount Rainier: Eight Hours, Your Vehicle, Your Own Walking

Eight hours with a car and a chauffeur that belong to your group alone. The booking is never combined with other passengers or fitted around someone else's schedule. What that buys is control of the day. The stops are Narada Falls, the Skyline area, the visitor centre and the viewpoints, and how long you spend at each is a conversation rather than a timetable. One thing to be clear about before booking: this is a chauffeur service, not a guided hike. The driver stays with the vehicle and does not walk the trails with you. Where you go on foot, and how far, is yours to decide within the time, the weather and your own fitness. The Henry M. Jackson Memorial Visitor Center is open all year. The Skyline Loop is the main trail out of Paradise, and it takes in the mountain, the lookouts, waterfalls and glaciers. Sunrise, at 6,400 feet, is the highest point in the park you can reach by car, with Emmons Glacier in view and almost 360 degrees from Sunrise Point, including Mount Adams across the range. The service runs year-round, subject to park access, roads and weather. Cancel at least 24 hours before departure for a full refund.
