Located in the Snoqualmie National Forest on a ridge over looking the Carbon River.
There were many nicer, easier to access sites on the paved road in. However, they were all occupied.
The spot we were in looked as if it had been logged recently, which didn’t make for great scenery. The rest of the area is beautiful though.
I wouldn’t suggest coming down the paved road in a big rig if the Mt. Rainer Park is closed. Turning around at the ranger station was a little tight for our 28′. Also, regardless of size, check with the NP to make sure the road in is open to at least the park entrance.
To get to the site, you need to cross a bridge over the Carbon River. We did it in our 7 ton rig. Once over, the road conditions degrade. See my pictures. In one area, the road is a river. In another, its a tight squeeze between a downed tree and rocks.
We stayed here May 3-10 2009. Absolutely no Sprint Internet or cell service.
