About Panorama Point Trail

The trail climbs above the tree line from Paradise, passing wildflower meadows and Myrtle Falls on the way up. At the high viewpoint, a toilet is provided and you look out over Mount Rainier, the Tatoosh Range and, on clear days, distant peaks such as Mount Hood and Mount St. Helens. Expect steady climbing and icy snowfields that may remain in place.
