Hike to
Green Lake, Mount Rainier National Park
View Original Description
Green Lake (10.8 miles roundtrip, elevation gain of 1000 feet) is one of the park's most serene mountain lakes. It is surrounded by forest but offers partial views to the south of Tolmie Park. The hike usually takes about 4.5 hours to complete.
The trail begins at Carbon River entrance. 3.6 miles in, the Green Lakes trail leaves the road at Ranger Creek. The trail leads through a forest of massive old-growth trees on its moderate ascent to the lake. One mile from the trailhead is Ranger Falls. Beyond the falls the trail ascends another .8 mile to Green Lake.
