Things To Do
Mount Rainier National Park
Well worth the drive! Ascending to 14,410 feet above sea level, Mount Rainier stands as an icon in the Washington landscape. An active volcano, Mount Rainier is the most glaciated peak in the contiguous U.S.A., spawning five major rivers. Subalpine wildflower meadows ring the icy volcano while ancient forest cloaks Mount Rainier’s lower slopes. Wildlife abounds in the park’s ecosystems. A lifetime of discovery awaits.

Stevens Pass Mountain Resort
Stevens Pass got its moniker from renowned engineer John Frank Stevens , who was principal in building the Great Northern Railroad and the Cascade Tunnel , a 7.8 mile train tunnel drilled right through the Cascade Mountains from the town of Berne on the east side of the Summit to Scenic on the west side. As Stevens was responsible for bringing transportation to the region, two young men from Seattle were responsible for realizing a ski area. During the winter of 1937-38 , Don Adams and Bruce Kehr, both avid skiers, set out to construct Stevens Pass Ski Area on Big Chief Mountain and Cowboy Mountain.
