Ranger-led interpretive programs are an integral component of the national park experience. Free walks, talks, and campfire programs are offered daily during summer. In winter you can join a ranger on a snowshoe walk ($4 donation suggested). A current schedule of events is available online or in the park’s free newspaper, The Tahoma News. Do not miss out on a ranger program during your visit to Mount Rainier. For more information check out the park website or stop in at one of the following visitor centers:
