VISIT MT. RAINIER ON YOUR OWN:

Plan Your Own Trip

  • Trip takes 8 to 10 hours.
  • Rental car plus gas is about $100.
  • You can purchase a “Golden Age Pass” at the park entrance for $10. This will give you and all in your car free National Park admittance for the rest of your life. Total cost $27.50 for group of 4.
Side Trips:
  • Sculpture Park::
    • Free. Included in 8 to 10 hours. A few miles short of the Park entrance on the right. Extremely unique and worth the stop, to say the least.
  • Narada Falls: Included in 8 to 10 hours. It is worth the 15 minute walk down 75 feet to see.
  • Lodge and Visitors Center: Included in 8 to 10 hours. All new construction in 2009.
  • Nature Trail: You will be getting there at the best time of the year for wild flowers.
  • Forest of the Patriarchs:This will increase your round trip drive by about 20 minutes and you should take an hour to make the 1 ˝ mile hike through the grove. The drive over Cayuse Pass on the way home is much more beautiful than the drive back through Eatonville.
  • N.W. Trek: Add two hours to your total trip and $14.50 ea ($12.50 military or AAA). This is worth seeing even if it entails a separate drive from Seattle.
  • Train ride out of Elbe: Add two hours to your trip and $18 each for seniors.
