The Wonderland Trail is a 93-mile route that circumnavigates the peak. Many of the hikes in Mount Rainier National Park involve hiking on portions of this trail. The park is popular for hiking and camping in the summer, and snowshoeing and backcountry skiing in the winter. Roughly 10,000 people attempt to climb Mount Rainier every year, and the route via Disappointment Cleaver is by far the most popular approach.
