Tour Overview
Dominated by majestic Mt. Rainier at every turn, this All-American Road traces the historic Naches Trail trading route between Enumclaw and the Naches Valley.
It offers, in rapid succession, views of intense urban activity, of farming on fertile valleys and stump lands, and of logging and lumbering in the shadow of the imposing mountain. Particularly on weekends, automobiles laden with skis, wool clothing, and other winter-sports equipment whiz along the highway, transporting parties from Tacoma, Seattle, and other Puget Sound cities to the alpine playland.
