From the National Park Serivce website for Rainier:
Public Transportation
There is no public transportation to or in Mount Rainier National Park.
From May 1 to September 30, Gray Line Tours offers daily trips from Seattle to Mount Rainier National Park. For more information, call Gray Line Tours at (800)426-7532 or visit the Gray Line Tours web site.
Check your local bookstore or amazon.com for a book on the hiking trails for the mountain. I would recommend the following:
Hiking Mount Rainier National Park by Heidi Schneider
Best Easy Day Hikes Mount Rainier National Park by Heidi Schneider
50 Hikes in Mount Rainier National Park by Harvey Manning and Ira Spring
Enjoy!

Climbing Mt. Rainier Emmons Summit RMI
Kids friendly tree?
My husband and I just found out we are expecting a baby and we would love to plant a tree in January when the baby is born. We live in Durban South Africa, hot and rainy summers, and great winter (not too cold). What tree should we plant that lives long, is a strong tree that the kids will love climbing in? My parents-in-law live on a farm so space is not a problem...
We don't get it hot and rainy in new zealand. But a tree that seems to suit most climates are nut trees. The Macadamia Nut. Grows very big,is an evergreen,and has wonderful nuts. Also Walnut. Deciduous tree. Grows very big. Again nice nuts. Another good climbing tree would be the Oak.What I would do is check either on a garden centre website,or at a garden centre in Durban. By the way all these trees will outlast yours and your children. Good Luck!
