Rainier Festival

“The Mountain Festival has become a tradition for those of us in love with Mount Rainier and big mountains in general. There is an air of excitement to the Fest as climbers come to scoop up the good “season’s end” deals on gear, but it isn’t just a sale… more of a mountaineering reunion. The legends of the high altitude game are sure a lot easier to talk to over a picnic in Ashford than on the glaciers where they earned their fame.” –Dave Hahn
