This Stunning WA Trail Near Mount Rainier Just Ranked Top 10 Most Picturesque in the U.S.

There is such a thing as paradise on earth, literally: the town of Paradise near Mount Rainier in Washington State not only holds the title in its name but also in its stunning views.

Along the path up the dormant volcano lies a hiking trail that is so picturesque, it was recently named on the Betway casino blog in their top ten most scenic trails in the U.S. list.

Skyline Loop: A Breathtaking Hike to Put on Your WA State Bucket List

If you are like me, you have taken the road trip to Mount Rainier and huffed and puffed all the way to the top of the Skyline Loop trail. Our out-of-shape body types aside, the views of the hike are even more breathtaking.

Make sure to bring a camera or a fully charged cell phone so that you can take pictures, selfies, and videos. Skyline loop is one of the most popular spots for taking pics for The 'Gram and videos on TikTok.

Know Before You Go: No dogs are allowed.

"The Skyline Trail is paved and steep, but the first part can be hiked by those in power chairs with no problem and by those in manual chairs with assistance until about halfway to Myrtle Falls, when you reach a bench. After that bench, the paved trail becomes so steep that power chairs will need a good battery and hikers in manual chairs will need an extremely strong pusher. Unfortunately, the accessible part of the trail doesn't have views of either Myrtle Falls or the glaciers." - Washington Trails Association
