grove of the patriarchs印象

A nice quiet little t hike with nicely laid out trail. The trees were huge and amazing! Highly recommend.
-
Easy, almost flat 1 mile round trip stroll that takes you over a fun hanging bridge across the river to a grove of beautiful ancient trees. Even non-hikers like this one. Kids adore it!
-
The trees here are big and impressive, some of the best in the area but do not expect the giant redwoods of the CA coast or the Sequoias of Kings Canyon. Scenic walk to the grove is not difficult and elevation change minimal.

Go early for parking. Starting around 11 am it really starts to fill up and then forget about it in the afternoon. Restrooms are available here and it does have a pretty generous parking lot.I did not do the whole grove but it was great when few people were there and I intend on finishing this another time.

If you don't like big trees, you should definitely not make the 1-mile+ hike to the Grove of the Patriarchs! All others should not miss this impressive stand of mammoth Douglas fir, cedar, and hemlock. The trail to the grove is one of the easiest in Mt. Rainier National Park, and most people should have no difficulty in making it. The largest of the trees is across a hanging bridge. Don't miss the "twin giants" (two incredible old Douglas fir trees growing side by side). Interesting to observe the trees in various stages of life, from the massive mature trees, to the fallen giants that provide a rich "nurse bed" for new seedlings growing in rows along the rotting fallen tree trunks, or in groups on rotting stumps. If I could make only on hike in Mt. Rainier National Park, this is probably the one I'd choose.

Seeing all these really old trees was worth the short hike. You cross over a suspension bridge before you get to the groove.
-
Trail is pretty flat, there's a boardwalk where most of the old growth is. I did it in less than an hour with lots of stopping and "wow's".
-
this is a great short and easy walk in the forest to see some of the giant trees representative of this area. there are benches along the way if someone needs a rest. great for little kids and folks who can't hike long distance to see the forest.

Our family of three visited on a Saturday in August. It was a beautiful day and we got there around noon so we thought it might be packed. We were pleasantly surprised to find it busy, but not packed by any means. We did have to wait a few minutes to take our turn over the bridge, but noticed on the way back that no one was waiting to get on it - so I think it's just lucky/unlucky timing when it comes to waiting. It's a short easy hike - about 15 minutes out and around the loop and 15 minutes back. In total we probably spent about 90 minutes there. Our 11-year-old daughter loved it too. Was definitely a highlight of our trip to Mt. Rainier.

Grove of the Patriarchs is a very easy trail. It takes you by the riverside on to a small island of fir trees. This is the first trail head you will cross when you enter Ohanapecosh entrance of the park. I would suggest this peaceful walk as a time filler.
