Nisqually Vista Trail

Distance: 1.2 miles round trip 

The paved Nisqually Vista trail offers views of the Nisqually River valley and Nisqually Glacier. This is also one of the “flower trails,” so be sure to pick up a map at the visitor center to guide you. Wander the trails and enjoy the wildflowers, but don’t pick any! Park in the lower lot and find the trailhead at the western end of the lot. Go up the stone stairs to the stroller-friendly paved path. 

Next trail: Skyline to Myrtle Falls
