Children love it, non-hikers can enjoy it too. Pretty enough hiking veterans like it. Only about a half mile in to your destination on a pretty flat trail. A nice suspension bridge, wooden boardwalk around fine, old trees. A magical place for children but calming and serene for adults. Beautiful, rushing clear water. Sometimes you can see deer or elk...

this walk ,under very old trees, with the crossing of a river is a must for plenty of families. After walking in the Mariposa area in Yosemite, some years ago, this tour did not feel not overwhelming. good with little children.

This little side trail is amazing. If you haven't or can't make it to the redwoods of California, this will suffice. The trail is an easy walk and the scenery is outstanding. The trees are the largest you will ever see. Amateur photographers can practice many lighting techniques with the trails changing light and shade patterns. We even laid on... More

so if the mountain isn't out, wandering through the grove of the patriarchs is still gorgeous. There's no bad weather: just wrong clothes (or so they say)....

We got to see a lot of very old trees that were enormous! The trail is very well maintained, and is an easy little hike! Lots of interesting fungi, and mushrooms too!

Visited with my 8-yr old daughter and my 84-yr old mothe. We all loved it. It was a very manageable trail.

Visited early in the am - very little crowd. Awesome short hike that crosses a bridge into 1000yr old trees to behold. A must see at Rainier. Take your time and drink in the beautiful scenery

It might be difficult to find parking here, but if you can make sure to check this place out. There's a short hike and then a crazy suspension bridge, then a beautifully maintained grove of massive trees and nursing logs. Great for all ages!

the number of people hiking this trail kills its pristine setting and old growth trees. Great for families and especially nice to be next to the water. If you seek solitude, then you are out of luck. Other than that, it is a beautiful easy walk.
