I will definitely check out your video. Yeah when we went it was pretty crowded (September) but it still very enjoyable. Edit: I really like how you utilized the Chill Hop. I can tell you spent a good amount of time editing that video. Nice work.
I did this 3 different times last August . Lucky for me I have a Senior Lifetime pass and the best part I live 25 miles away with a view of trees and top 3/4 of Rainier.
@@cerahrobinson9850 I'm 69 and have no problem but breathing where I take more shorter breaks. People get into trouble by wearing tennis shoes , I use trail runners by Lone Peak and also my boots that weight less than 16oz each. Depending on the month you go normally their is snow still on trails above 5000 feet in July as I slipped on snow in the Goat Rocks which is where a lot of drops along the trail even both sides.
My buddy invited me on a cross country trip and I hiked this trail. Super out of shape and the first section killed me but the views were insane. Looks awesome in the summer but it has it's own look in mid October. Lots more active snowing and clouds coming in and out of the landscape.
I highly recommend going the direction you did. My daughter and I tried going the other way around and had to stop 200 vertical feet from the top due to exhaustion. It is a gentle climb up, a more steep drop coming down the way you went.
@@magicalunicorn5853 This is at Paradise. To do the Skyline trail it is best if you follow the trail around to your left from the parking lot and go clockwise.
One of the best hikes I've done. It's funny how there's always a lineup to the washroom (at least when I went), but you were just taking your time filming ;D love it
What do you mean...where did you hear or see that? It's illegal for drone footage inside national parks but GoPros or smart phones are definitely allowed.
Yes it really was something else. The video is 4K but of course does not do it justice. However, seeing it on TH-cam i suppose is better than nothing. It may even inspire some people to go out there and see it for themselves....
Yes, absolutely. Quite a few spots where there are no railings and if you are clumsy or happen to lose your footing you could fall quite a ways down some hard/sharp rocks. But honestly, don't let this comment discourage you because you have to REALLY lose your footing or pretty much try to fall down lol. THe Skyline Trail Loop is HEAVILY trafficked by tourists every day of the year and the path is extremely established and safe to hike!
we will be there at end of July but won’t have time for long hike. what trail should we venture on? we are coming from Portland Airport and I’m not sure what entrance we come in.. i think Nisqually.
We stayed at the Gateway Inn, coming in from the West on 706. I recommend this hike if you don't have much time...its very tourist friendly and the trail itself is heavily trafficked. Incredible views!
I think around 3 - 3.5 hours. We consider ourselves in decent hiking shape and we did not hurry it, but our friend who is much better shape than we were he pushed us to go a bit faster

I like the part when you step out of the bathroom and then the mountain range is in your face!
Yeah I was definitely trying to get that effect haha. And even more amazing is it's all on an iPhone. Still blows me away.
That's one of the best trail I've gone so for, totally stunning 😍
Completely shot and edited on an iPhone 11 Pro Max!
+1 to you for picking up the trash up there! I just finished our Rainier edit, including the same Skyline trail too!
I will definitely check out your video.

Are there any drop offs to be aware of when doing this hike, or is there enough room to feel pretty comfortable at all times?

You are living my dream lol South Florida beaches has its own beauty but nothing like nature and mountains. (even though I was born in Florida lol)

That is the best hike I've ever done. Only once did I go as far as possible and loved how close to Tahoma I was.

We are going next week, which entrance is this?

@@MNChoirMom thank you! Looking forward to this so much!

Thank you! Yes this was EASILY one of the best, 'park at a touristy area and do a semi-easy hike' trail I have done.
Isn't it illegal to film in national parks now?
What do you mean...where did you hear or see that? It's illegal for drone footage inside national parks but GoPros or smart phones are definitely allowed.
Finally, a place I've actually been! Beautiful
You been to Mt. Rainier?!
@@TheVoidFill Yes sir! Right when the park opened to hiking season in May 2018. Family trip.
You had a nice weather and good timing for wildflowers! So many marmots!! I was there about 2 weeks ago, wildflowers were in full bloom but hazy...
We love the marmots so much!
@@TheVoidFill There was a big marmot right by the trail, and he didn't mind me at all... marmots are funny!
We are planning to hike this in mid Sept this year. Hopefully the weather will be as nice and we can see some wild flowers too. Thanks for the video!
You are very welcome and I hope you can see the flowers as well!
Spectacular scenery 👍👌👌

Spectacular scenery!! :-) :-)
The video, of course, simply does not do it justice. However, that entire video was edited and shot on the iPhone 11 Pro Max!
@@TheVoidFill It was so cool that you were touching snow without a winter coat :-)
Were there any scary drop offs or portions where there’s not a solid “wall” or area on one side with a drop off on the other, if that makes sense?
Yes, absolutely. Quite a few spots where there are no railings and if you are clumsy or happen to lose your footing you could fall quite a ways down some hard/sharp rocks.

what month last year did you go? I am in love with the flowers and scene.
The beginning of September 2020
@@TheVoidFill thank you. I am going after heat wave we are experiencing here in seattle ends.
How long did it actually takes you to complete the hike?
I think around 3 - 3.5 hours. We consider ourselves in decent hiking shape and we did not hurry it, but our friend who is much better shape than we were he pushed us to go a bit faster
Which entrance did you go to? How long did it take you?
is it possible to go there on the second week of june?
I'm sure you can visit anytime of the year, that is if all the conditions are safe, etc.
Next time I will walk all way to the top
To the top of Mt. Rainier?!
1889
some girl got her ass torn up on this trail back in 09
What do you mean? Like fell and 'crayoned' herself on the rocks?
