History
Discover Nature, LLC is owned and operated by naturalist and professional tour guide Diann Sheldon. Diann has been leading friends and family for many years into the great outdoors. After their encouragement and working as a professional tour guide for Tours Northwest, a Seattle based company, for the last six years she knew it was time to follow her dream of owning her own tour company. Discover Nature's Tour Mount Rainier is the first day tour company based in the Tacoma/South Puget Sound area.
Specialties
Hike as little or as much as you want. Our tours are catered to each group and will vary for folks with experience or limited experience. On all of our hikes breather breaks are encouraged and breathtaking! Discover Nature takes pride in offering you a personalized, safe visit to Mount Rainier National Park. Your tour is focused on you and allows the time to enjoy the variety the Park offers without hurry or worry. Enjoy exploring old growth forests, waterfalls, scenic vistas, glaciers, wildlife, wildflowers and more. I am one of the few companies with a Commercial Use Permit from the Park. This permit allows me to offer you hikes longer than 1 mile beyond a trailhead helping us get away from the summer crowds. This is a big plus during the COVID-19 pandemic. During these times with the Coronavirus, we will meet at Mount Rainier National Park rather than travel in the same vehicle. We have a variety of trail options where you can enjoy a personalized, guided hike. Your day will consist of a private tour once we meet at the pre-determined trailhead inside the Park. I can focus on your desires and help create lasting memories. We will take time to search for wildlife, enjoy waterfalls, photograph wildflowers and enjoy the beauty and peace this Park offers. I specialize in fully-guided, small group tours designed to maximize your time and experience at Mount Rainier National Park. Sharing this amazing National Park has been an absolute joy for over 12 years!
