RMI is accredited by the AMGA

Getting safely up and down mountains is just the beginning of the story at Rainier Mountaineering, Inc. (RMI). Founded by legendary Northwest mountaineers and staffed by the most experienced and talented guides in America, RMI has built a four-decade long legacy of safe, successful, and enjoyable mountaineering adventures.

Experience matters in the mountains, and that is exactly what we have gained over the last 40 years. There is no substitute for the years of expedition guiding around the world, 250 Mt. McKinley Expeditions, over 70,000 climbers on Mount Rainier and some of America's first ventures into the far reaches of the Himalaya.

*Rainier Mountaineering, Inc. operates within Mount Rainier National Park under a contract with the National Park Service, United States Department of the Interior. RMI is also an authorized concessionaire of Denali National Park & Preserve, Alaska, to conduct guided ascents of Mount McKinley.
