Chinook Scenic Byway (Washington)

Introduction

Gorgeous snow-capped Mount Rainier towers over the byway and surrounding valley along the Chinook Scenic Byway. Traveling through the beautiful Wenatchee National Forest will be full of chances to take in the outdoor air and experience nature. The views are awe-inspiring in the spring and summer when the Cascade Mountains come alive with lush vegetation. Working its way through scenic Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, the byway provides gorgeous views of Mt. Rainier.

Recreation along the Cascade Region is as incomparable as the scenery. In the wintertime, zip around Mount Rainier on skis or a snowboard. Walk through pathways that trail through the dense forests, and enjoy springtime’s striking collection of wildflowers. Families will love exploring the Boulder Cave Nature Trail, a natural stone tunnel nearly 200 feet long. The Skookum Flats Trail is one of the ten best bike trails in the country with its varied scenery and up and down pathways.
