The historic Mather Memorial Parkway (State Route 410) in Washington, USA, is the gateway to a recreational haven. On a clear day, enjoy spectacular views of Mt. Rainier.

For more excitement, take a spin in the off-road vehicle area at Evans Creek, or zip down the slopes of Crystal Mountain Ski Area. Or if you prefer solitude, escape into the solace of the forest and leave the world behind.

The Mather Memorial Parkway runs along the Northeast corner of the park, then joins Washington Highway 123 which continues South to the Ohanapecosh Visitors Center and the Southeast corner of the park. The road is open from May to November depending on the weather. There are several scenic pullouts and trailheads along the road. Although this route is on National Park Service Property it is free to drive down this route.

Created in 1931, this paved two-lane classic Cascades drive along Highway 410 from Enumclaw to the eastern edge of Mount Rainier National Park presents majestic views of Mount Rainier and surrounding peaks. More than 200 miles of trails accommodate hikers, horses and mountain bikes. Drive, hike or ride to the Suntop Lookout Cabin at the top of Forest Road 7315. Choose a primitive campsite along forest roads east and west of the parkway. In November buy a permit at the Enumclaw office and take the family out to the woods to cut your own Christmas tree. Most forest roads are unpaved and minimally maintained. Cell phones have limited coverage in the mountains.
