    Mountain biking

    Even if you don't get THE shot — a crisp reflection of Mount Rainier shining off the lake's surface, only possible on a calm, clear day — it's still well worth stopping to take in this beautiful lake just off the road.

    Running

    One of the most impressive view points to see Mount Rainier. During sunrise and sunset, when there's no wind or rain, this lake right by the park road reflects the mountain in all of its majesty.

    Hiking

    In Reflection Lake you can experience the perfect reflection of Mount Rainier. A parking lot directly at the lake also offers the possibility to start a hike from here.
