Tucked away high on mountain slopes lays Rainier Ridge, a summit-side escape offering endless opportunities for winter play. Immerse yourself in the magic where stories are told around the fire and enjoyed with s’mores, children leap and spin on the sock skating rink, and the market place bustles with life thanks to winter foods and play vendors.
