We really do have it all here in Washington, especially when it comes to our hiking trails. From waterfall hikes to breathtakingly beautiful trails, you’ll find a little bit of everything here. And if you’re up for a little challenge and a whole lots of breathtaking scenery, head to Mt. Rainier National Park and find the Tahoma Creek Suspension Bridge trail.
You’ll find this 6.3-mile trail near Longmire, beginning at the end of Westside Road.

Eventually, you’ll come to the suspension bridge, the highlight of the hike.
Doug Wenneker / alltrails.com The bridge sits 165 feet above the creek, making it the longest and highest bridge you can cross in Mt. Rainier National Park.
If you’re afraid of heights, this part might be a little harrowing, especially since it’s only supported by cables.

The bridge definitely sways from side to side while you’re on it, so you may want to rethink going on this hike on a windy day.
John Sypeck / alltrails.com There’s no need to create extra panic.
Would you see this 200-foot bridge as a challenge to overcome or a mere adventure?
Rebecca / Flickr The views from the bridge are definitely worth being daring.
Aside from the heart-pounding experience of the bridge, this hike allows you to see amazing scenery from a unique angle.
Kim Pecheos / alltrails.com It’s one of the most scenic spots in the entire state.
The Tahoma Creek Suspension Bridge trail is ranked as moderate, so if you’re a beginning hiker you may want to start with this short and sweet trail instead.
