Burroughs Mountain Trail is a tough hike in Mount Rainier National Park that rewards hiker with breath-taking mountain scenery. Mount Rainier says "the mountain views from any point on this trail are superb and Burroughs Mountain offers possibly the finest, most accessible tundra in the Cascades. Plants able to survive in this harsh environment are extremely delicate and slow growing. Please help them to survive by staying on the trail!" Mount Rainier has plenty of camping available. Cougar Rock Campground is located in the southwest section of the park, Ohanapecosh Campground is in the southeast, White River is in the northeast section and Mowich Lake is a small tent only campground in the northwest section of Mount Rainier.
