The Naches Peak Loop trail is popular for its views of Mount Rainier, but there are more volcanic stories to be found if you know where to look. Rocks just off the trail leave clues to a large volcano out in the Pacific Ocean, and to a newer volcano that sent dikes of magma up through the ancient ocean rock – all before Mount Rainier started to grow.
