Trail Description: Moderate Difficulty



Spray Park, located in the northern portion of Mount Rainier National Park, blends spectacular views of this Northwest icon with a flower garden meadow lush with avalanche lilies, lupines and indian paintbrush. The meticulously maintained trail gains 1050 feet (much of which occurs over the final ½ mile) in three miles giving it a moderate, yet heart-pounding feel.



The trail to Spray Park offers two worthy diversions: first is a spectacular view of the Mowich Glacier from Eagle Cliff (1½ miles), and second is Spray Falls (2 miles), located at the end of a short but worthy spur trail. Spray Park itself is a broad meadow worthy of exploration, so spend some time there, each new viewpoint seems better than the last. If the three mile run left you craving for more, continue up the trail to nearby Mt. Pleasant, or the equally scenic Seattle Park.
