The Reflection Lakes Trail is a scenic 3-mile loop that showcases some of Mount Rainier’s most iconic views. Starting from the Reflection Lakes parking area along Stevens Canyon Road, the trail winds through subalpine meadows and quiet forest, offering multiple vantage points of the lakes with the mountain mirrored perfectly on calm days.
In summer, wildflowers paint the landscape with brilliant color, while fall brings a vibrant palette of golds and reds. The route includes gentle climbs and descents, gaining around 400 feet in elevation, making it accessible for most hikers and families. Along the way, visitors may spot marmots, deer, or birds, adding to the peaceful atmosphere.
