Camp Muir is the highest one can go in Mt. Rainier National Park without a climbing permit. From here one can get a close up view of mountain features that normally require roping up for glacier travel. This starts at Paradise and ends at the stone structures that make up this camp. Do not under estimate this activity. Good endurance, navigation skills, and preparation are a necessity for this outing.
