Jim63, I recommend doing this.. www.visitrainier.com/index.php?&gigpag=circle_rainierwhen Steven's Canyon opens up. 147 miles circling the mountain...then figure an extra 30 miles for a side trip to Sunrise and another 10 miles for a sidetrip to Cayuse Pass. Packwood would probably be a good 'halfway' point. Gotta figure 3 hours anyway from Sedro Wooley to Enunclaw. |
