Hiking
A small basin like taken from a storybook: Aurora Lake is nestled into Klapatche Park, one of the most amazing places to stay within Mount Rainier National Park. Getting here is strenuous, but you will be rewarded with true wilderness and breathtaking views. Klapatche Camp is close by and I warmly recommend spending the night here. You just need to obtain a backcountry permit before you start your overnight adventure. Or take the Wonderland Trail to extend it furthermore.
