Midnight Creek

In and around the town of Greenwater, all the way up to the entrance of "Mt. Rainier National Park" and the Crystal Mountain Ski area, there is a network of interconnected Forest Service roads that can make for a day of fun and adventure. While most of these roads are not true "Jeep Trails", they do present some spectacular scenery with their stunning views of Mt. Rainier and the surrounding mountain valleys. These roads are also a great way for a novice to get to know their vehicle if they are new to the sport, or a way to just explore and see what lies around the next corner. The spring flowers are really nice, and most bloom well into mid-summer. There are dispersed camping spots all along these roads that are free to use, though you can expect no facilities.
