Spend a day exploring the beautiful Mt. Rainier, Seattle’s most famous natural landmark! Take in this famous American park while meeting people from across the globe! We will be going to the Paradise Area Trails so feel free to take a look at what you might expect. We will split it up into different hiking level groups, so beginners, intermediates, and experts are all welcome!
What to bring: Eat breakfast before you come and bring the following: a lightweight backpack or bag for supplies, plenty of water, snacks, a packed lunch, sunscreen, sunglasses, and any other items you'll need throughout the day. Wear tennis shoes or hiking boots, dress in layers, and make sure to check the forecast for weather-appropriate clothing.
FIUTS Covid-19 Advisory & Community Safety Regulations:
In alignment with the University of Washington's existing face covering policy and distancing requirements, FIUTS requires all participants to wear a mask for the duration of the event and maintain six feet of distance with others at all times, regardless of their vaccination status. Participants may only remove masks while actively eating or drinking.
FIUTS knows many students who take part in our events are new to outdoors activities, so we make sure to design activities that are accessible and safe for beginners. We prioritize hiker safety and follow all park guidelines to ensure participants have an enjoyable trip. These include checking with the visitor center for information on current trail conditions, hiking in groups, sticking to well-marked routes, avoiding hiking in snowy areas, and equipping student groups with first aid supplies. If you have any questions or concerns, we invite you to reach out to us at: info@fiuts.org.

Have your plans changed? Why it’s important to officially cancel (as opposed to not show up):
Currently, group sizes are limited to ensure participant safety. This means that we cannot always accommodate everyone who wants to join an event and have an active waitlist. If your plans change, it’s important to let us know because someone would love to have your spot! To cancel your reservation, simply email: annie@fiuts.org. There is no penalty to cancel your reservation.
If you are cancelling for a ticketed event, please note that FIUTS can refund 75% of the ticket price up to three days before an event. If you cancel less than three days before an event, it will not be possible to issue a refund. All refunds will go back on the card originally used to make the purchase within 7-10 business days.
