Mt. Rainier Loop


Road to Sunrise
Here is a great ride around Mt. Rainier National Park.  Start by riding out highway 410 about 30 miles from Enumclaw you arrive at the entrance to park.  Once in the park remember the speed limits, for two reasons, one the park rangers and their radar and two the most important to enjoy the sights.  Take the road to Sunrise and enjoy the curves getting there.
Sunrise Vistor Center
After your visit to Sunrise take a right on SR 410 ** bear right on Highway 123 to the Stevens Canyon Entrance and take the road to Paradise.  **option an one worth taking continue on 410 up to Chinook Pass for the views and Tipsoo lake, then backtrack to the 123 cut off. 
Mt. Rainier from Paradise
Then after Leaving Paradise heading towards Longmire stop by Narada falls for the view.  There are visitor centers at Sunrise, Ohanapecosh, Paradise and Longmire.  Just think about it taking the bike is the way to go, take your time and enjoy the views.   Our mileage for the day about 230!
