sobo Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 You didn't specify what mode of transportation you intend to employ. Might I suggest you take a peek in here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SplashClimber Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 Hmmm - thought about the mode after I was done. It would be a Chevrolet Suburban gas hog. I am thinking I have to Rt 7 or Orville Rd. There are some forest roads but they look like jeep or atv-type roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Upon review of the MRNP "tourist" map that they give you at the entrance stations, it would appear that there is no good way to get from Paradise to Mowich Lake CG. Do you have a Washington Gazetteer? It looks like a crap shoot either way you go: Leave the park at the Nisqually portal (SW corner) and you've got a bit shorter drive on some shitty roads (706 to 7 to Alder to Eatonville to Kapowsin to 162 to 165 to Carbonado and finally to Mowich Lake) to the NW side of the park. Or you could head to the Stevens Canyon portal (SE corner), and you've got a lot of driving in the park at lower speed, but then you can hit SR 410 to make up some of the time, stop by and visit Marie in Enumclaw, then head south to Carbonado and pick up the trail there. If it were me, I do the Stevens Canyon/SR 410 thing. YMMV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
