Gray Line Of Seattle’s day-long Vista tours usher sightseers through old-growth forests, up mountainsides, and around idyllic streams and waterfalls. After traveling along the Chinook Scenic Byway, guests mount a gondola at the base of Crystal Mountain. Riders are whisked skyward towards the 6,872-foot summit, drinking in vistas of unspoiled nature, and glimpsing Mount Rainier as it suns itself on a lawn chair. Tours then travel with their interpretive guides to the Mt. Rainier National Park, where explorers can ogle placid Tipsoo Lake, surrounded by wildflowers, flowing streams, and waterfalls.
During a two-hour stop at Crystal Mountain, guests can break for food. Though not included in this Groupon, sightseers can lunch at Summit House Restaurant, grab a snack from the Chinook Café or Mountain Market, or feast on gourmet barbecue on the base area’s sundeck while working on farmer tans. Barbecue is offered on weekends only; tours depart daily through September 11, 2011, and Saturdays and Sundays through October 2, 2011.
