Mt. Rainier Park and the Grand Park hike is always a great one and going the backway is much shorter than if you started at the Sunrise area. Over the next several weeks flowers will be great!

Driving directions: Drive state Route 410 about 24 miles east of
Enumclaw and just past the viewpoint of Mount Rainier turn right onto
Forest Service Road No. 73. Drive 10 miles to sign that says “Eleanor
Creek.” There is not a trailhead sign but park on the right and you will
see a boot path on the left. Walk a short distance and you will see
sign that you have entered the National Park.
Trail stats: 7 miles roundtrip and about 1500 foot elevation gain. Here is our
track
