Fun things to do while camping at Ohanapecosh campground at Mt. Rainier.

Started by: bill on 07/27/2009.
 

Ohanapecosh is a great campground. Can get crowded but there is good reason for it. Here is a list of fun activities to do while camping there.

1. Hike the Silver Falls trail Added by: bill     
It is a nice three mile hike (r/t from the campground). A little up/down but an easy hike. Most of the trail is in the shade so not to bad even when it is hot.

2. Swimming in the Ohanapecosh River. Added by: bill     
Bring bathing suits to cool off. The current can be swift so be smart. Suggest you avoid swimming just above the natural dams.

3. Ranger Shows Added by: bill     
Great for younger kids--8 and under seem to enjoy them. Think they start at 9:00 PM.

4. Grove of the Patriarchs Added by: bill     
I've not been to the Grove of the Patriarchs since before the large Nov 2006 storms. I assume it has changed but bet it is still worth the short hike. Huge trees. Larger than any other place within Rainier. http://www.nps.gov/archive/mora/trail/grove.htm

5. Fishing Added by: bill     
You can fish in the Ohanapecosh River that runs through the campground. Might be flies only.
