any good/easy trails around Mt. Rainier that are accessible in the winter? I will be in WA next week, looking for a cool hike and place to hang out, possibly some stargazing. wont have much equipment or any snowshoes. |

Well the easiest trails are generally found around Paradise and the road is likely to be open. However at over 5000', you might reasonably expect snow.
There's a 2 mile loop that starts and ends at Ohanapecosh that would be pretty easy/good ... there are some thermal springs in the area.
The best stargazing will be in areas that likely have snow. I can't think of any good places to stargaze down low.
