Skookum Flats — Saturday, Feb. 28, 2026

Mount Rainier Area > Chinook Pass - Hwy 410
Near the South car park

Hiked from the north car park to the south car park and back. About 12 miles. Didn't go all the way south to the rainier park boundary.

I do wish that the section from the south car park to the park boundary was better marked. It'd be more popular, it's quite easy for all people.

The trail has a lot of tree blowdown especially as you pass the falls, with a land slide that's been there a while.

The only downside to the trail is the constant noise from loud bikes and cars.

WTA should remove their expired survey posters.

Great in any weather.
