Mt Rainier/Sunrise Park Scenic Drive - 6/27
Some of you who came to the 86 bbq this past weekend at tacoma may have heard about a driving group that exclusively composed of responsible driving enthusiasts who regularly go out for long, fun, scenic tours around Washington. So here’s a quick introduction.
The group is composed of a diverse spectrum of drivers and vehicles. From the elderly who usually just like to cruise in Jag or Fiat to spirited hooligans who lead the pack and sweep the roads with GTRs, Porches and Ferraris. The point is, you can drive at your own comfort level and no one is going to judge you. The group pride itself on having a fun and pleasant driving experience while uphold safety and constraint. I have been with the group for over a year now and every drive I’ve gone on has been spectacular! The view and the roads are always amazing and so are the people. I've received consent from the group staffs to invite a few 86ers from this forum to tag along. I will be only bringing 5 people this coming up trip and it will be first come first serve. The requirement is simple. - Know you and your car's limit - Leave the ego at home - Ready for a long but fun drive - Vehicle is in reliable working condition - FRS Radio (doesn't have to be an expensive one) Schedule: Saturday, June 27, 2015 12:30pm - 6:30ish pm Start Point: Enumclaw, WA If you read all the above, meet the requirements and is interested, please thank the post and PM me and feel free to ask any questions. Here is a quick group note on what we will be doing at the next tour. Detailed itinerary: There will be PLENTY of turns. Highway 410 into Mt Rainier National Park Right on Sunrise Park Rd Quick Stop at Sunrise Point Up to the top, quick stop Back to Highway 410 heading South Left toward Chinook Pass Quick Stop at Chinook Pass Lookout and Tipsoo Lake On Highway 410 heading to Naches At the junction with Highway 12, Left on Old Naches Highway Quick pit stop in “downtown” Naches NW to Wenas Road to Selah North on Highway 823 Left (North) onto Highway 821 Highway 821 - Yakima River Canyon Pit stop + Refuel in Ellensburg Highway 10 towards Swiftwater Canyon 970 to Cle Enum and Suncadia Resort Back home on Interstate 90 ( About 80 minutes ) Sunrise access is $20 per car. Your receipt is valid one week. Go to Paradise on Sunday... No charge if you have the National Park Pass. Last edited by slyphen; 06-16-2015 at 02:01 PM. |

I'll be in the area from July 2-13 if anyone wants to do any other cruises. I don't want to take away from this thread so PM me. I also plan on some drives up around 101 too.

You guys should detour this trip out to Packwood to watch some autocross (or participate!!!). We'll be out there racing for the NWR-SCCA that Saturday for an open practice. Hampton Mills in Packwood, WA if you're interested!

Already prepping for the drive, printing itinerary, getting food, prepping car, etc.
About 2 months back, I ran the south side of Rainer from Eatonville to Paradise in my old crapbox but couldn't go further due to road being closed. Looking forward to meeting y'all, can't wait for Saturday! |
