If you you’re going to Mount Rainier National Park for photography, the obvious destination would be Mount Rainier. But there’s so much more to the park than the peak. Here are other spots in Mount Rainier for your next trip.

Sheep Lake
This is one of the prettiest lakes accessible from Chinook Pass on the Pacific Crest Trail. In summer, the trail is bordered by wildflowers, making sheep lake a good subject for photography.
Tolmie Peak
Even if you’re a non-hiker, photographers will find tons of avalanche lilies bordering the Mowich Lake as snow recedes. The beautiful trail will tempt you to go further, reaching the Wonderland Trail.
Christine Falls
Fortunately, this is one of the most accessible waterfalls in Mt. Rainier National Park. The falls is framed by the historic, arching Christine Falls Bridge.
Sourdough Ridge
From here, you’ll get a majestic view of Mt. Rainier, complete with pine trees and a vast green field. You can also take a shot of Sunrise Point and Frozen from this spot.
Grove of the Patriarchs
A short walk from the Stevens Canyons Entrance Park, and you’ll find the Grove. It is located on an island in the Ohanapecosh River. With trunks ranging up to 35 feet in diameter, the grove literally feels like it’s the island’s protector, their patriarch. Trying to capture the full height of the trees would be impossible, so look for details.
