NOTE ABOUT FLIPBOOKS: To give yourself offline access, load the flipbook on your mobile device just before your hike and flip through all the pages. If you keep that URL open in your mobile browser, the pamphlet should remain viewable. However, we urge you not to rely on this method only, and make sure to have a downloaded PDF version of the hike pamphlet with you as well.

To use the Plot Coordinates from above in these applications, download the files and upload them to your chosen GPS application on the computer. Once uploaded, open your application on your mobile device, sign into your account, and the file will be available on your mobile device as well. 


Safety
Your safety is our first priority, please read the following safety guidelines before hiking. In addition, please review Mt. Rainier National Park's volunteer handbook and COVID-19-specific guidelines.
