Mount Rainier National Park - Road to Paradise

The busiest road in the National Park is the winding mountain road from the Nisqually entrance (2000 ft), which runs through beautiful forest country by way of Kautz Creek to Longmire (2765 ft; mineral springs; National Park administration) and up to Paradise (5400 ft; winter sports facilities). From here there is a choice of memorable hikes (e.g. to the foot of the Nisqually Glacier).
