Day Hiking: Mount Rainier National Park Trails,
by Dan A. Nelson and Alan L. Bauer.
A portion of all book sales from the links above benefits WTA and helps protect and maintain our trails. You start low, strolling up a deeply forested river valley, but end up in broad meadows with stellar views of Mount Rainier. The trail gets very little hiking pressure, so you're almost certain to have the route to yourself. The trail parallels the highway, but most of the way, the road is well out of both sight and hearing of the trail. Look for weasels and martens along the river--as well as dippers and other water-loving birds.
Driving Directions:
From Enumclaw, drive east about 47 miles on State Route 410 to the junction with SR 123. Stay right (straight ahead) to merge onto SR 123-Cayuse Pass Highway. Find the trailhead on the right about 4.5 miles farther south. Note: SR 123 was severely damaged by the November 2006 floods. Although the road has been reopened, call to check on road conditions.
