One of the most iconic views of Mt. Rainier in the park can be found at Reflection Lakes. Summer and fall, sunrise and sunset, it is perhaps the single-most photographed view for both budding and experienced photographers, who return again and again. Many consider this area to be the park at its best -- colorful blooms, enchanting animal life, and scenic, awe-inspiring beauty of mountain peaks and alpine lakes.
Begin on the Wonderland Trail, go a short distance, and veer right on the Lakes Trail. You will be moving up through a wet meadow to a junction with the High Lakes Trail at 3/4 of a mile. Turn right and travel about 1 1/4 miles with frequent views of Mount Rainier and the Tatoosh Range. At 2 miles, you'll reach a junction of the Lakes Trail. Turn right and downhill. Next up is Faraway Rock, and up means to a sheer cliff for a stupendous view of Louise Lake, Reflection Lakes, the Tatoosh Range (including Pinnacle Peak), and much of Stevens Canyon.
