Question

Answer 1

Just a friendly reminder since your question says "Mr. Rainier Climb" - summiting the mountain requires a permit, and equipment. Reservations are recommended for backcountry camping.



And the Grey Line tour noted on the "how to get to the park" web site is a day tour only. They do not accept passengers who intend to overnight in the park, and don't really leave time to explore or hike.

Answer 2

There are over 50 trails of varying lengths:

Here is a map of all the trails:

"There is no public transportation to or in Mount Rainier National Park."
