Water Reservoir: You probably need more water than a water bottles worth.

I have had a few cheap water bottles break on me before. They are on the heavier side, but I know for a fact they will not break.

Refillable water bottle: I always bring a Hydroflask on all my adventures.

I also love how they now have pink socks too 🙂 >Buy Hiking Socks Smart Wool is probably my favorite brand out there.

Hiking socks: Having the correct socks helps prevent blisters while hiking at Mt Rainier.Make sure you bring good shoes when you hike Mount Rainier. Hiking Boots/Shoes: If you use tennis shoes, you can easily hurt your toes hitting a rock by accident (Trust me I have done it so many times).Sunscreen: One of the ten essentials! I always bring this with me. >Buy Sunscreen.Bug Spray: The bugs are insane here! Bring some good bug spray.April-June: This is when there are no crowds, but you need to check conditions.You can ski, snowshoe, and snowboard! Please note that the Nisqually Entrance, in the southwest corner of the park, and the Carbon River Entrance are the only entrances open. But that doesn’t mean the park is closed. November-March: There is a ton of snow around this time of year.But be wary as there might be snow which can be dangerous. September-October: This a great time to avoid the crowds and see the bright fall colors.Please note that this is the most popular time to visit, which means more crowds. The wildflowers burst into action and paint the landscape with many extraordinary colors.

July-August: Hiking Mt Rainier in July is the absolute best time to visit.Paradise is higher in elevation (5400ft), but it is the most popular section in the park. Above I show the average temperatures of the Paradise area in Mount Rainier National Park.
