Naches Peak Loop Trail is one of our absolute favorite hikes in the Pacific Northwest. Tucked away near Chinook Pass in Mt Rainier National Park, this 3.2 mile loop packs in an incredible amount of scenery for a relatively easy hike — alpine meadows bursting with wildflowers in summer, blazing fall foliage in autumn, views of Dewey Lake, and the mighty Mt Rainier as a backdrop for much of the trail. If you are looking for one hike to do near Mt Rainier that does not require a lot of effort but delivers jaw-dropping views, this is it.

Jungfraujoch(Top of Europe), a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located 11,333 feet (3,454 meters) above sea level and it is an amazing ride up to the Europe’s highest railway station. Jungfraujoch refers to the “saddle” between the two peaks of Mount Jungfrau and Mount Mönch; you can enjoy views of the majestic Mount Jungfrau and a 360 degree panoramic views of entire area.

The funicular railway, which is more than 100 years old, transports you to the Harder Kulm at 1322 metres above sea level in less than 10 minutes. The ride to the summit station is steep, and throughout the journey and from the top of mountains you will have magnificent views to Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau as well as Lakes Brienz and Lake Thun.
