Paradise Inn

MT. RAINIER NATIONAL PARK, WASHINGTON

The last eruption of Mt. Rainier, the 14,410-foot peak an hour drive southeast of Seattle, occurred 150 years ago, and though scientists predict there may eventually be another, the park is safe now for visitors. Its top lodge is the historic Paradise Inn, built in 1917 from hand-carved Alaskan cedar logs. Closed the past two years for a renovation, the lodge reopened in May. Besides a few new rooms and a fresh menu at the café, the changes are largely structural. Rooms are still spare and small, but you’ll want to spend your time outdoors anyway enjoying the wildflowers, miles of secluded hiking trails, and spectacular mountain views. Rooms without private bathrooms from $99/night; rooms with private bathrooms from $149/night; rainier.guestservices.com
