Starting at Narada Falls follow the trail up to reflection lake. This isn't much fun during the summer when cars abound, but during the winter it is a very nice snowshoe capable of getting the blood moving!

I have been to Rainier many times and to pass the time for something a little different we did the Reflection Lakes Trail.  It was OK but in all my years at Rainier I have never seen so many mosquitos.   A decent kike but take the bug spray.

Sweet place to visit - great views from the road and roadside trail. Not sure if there is an actual reflection lake trail but just the view from the road is worth the quick stop. Also, on the other side of the road there is a great trail to Pinnacle Peak (or just saddle) which is a short, up hill jaunt with amazing views.
