Dave and Jan Gaylord traditionally share the lead for this favorite drive. This year Jeff Dunning will give it a try after taking a few years off as Dave has family commitments this year.
Circumnavigating Mt. Rainier is a classic sports car drive. Come out and join the club on this run--it's the only drive that's been done every single year since the club was formed in 2002.
The day will start at the Safeway store on Hwy 410 in Enumclaw. There are several nearby gas stations, and you can get your caffeine fix at the coffee stand in the store. We'll enter the park at the White River entrance, where we'll buy passes. Then we'll head up to Sunrise on the best twisty road in the park, to check out the views. Then down the road in reverse and back onto Hwy 410 to Tipsoo Lake for a photo op of the cars with the mountain in the background. We'll go in the Stevens Canyon entrance, and will have our picnic lunch at the Box Canyon picnic area before heading on to Paradise.
Each car will need a National Park pass, available at the entrance.
