Elbe Hills OHV - Rainier Vista Trail

The Rainier Vista trail crests at the highest elevation within Elbe Hills, but to get there its a rocky uphill climb with massive boulders and loose rocks all throughout the trail. The DNR recommends 36" off road tires, dual lockers, body armor and a winch. Regardless of these recommendations, it should not scare you off this trail; a moderately modified rig with lockers can navigate this trail, but keep in mind, there are no bypasses for any obstacles except the lower rock garden. An off-shoot of the main trail, the upper rock gardens are designed for buggies and extremely well built trucks, this trail also leads to the infamous "Pit" a large playground for any skill level. The Rainier Vista trail is for anyone looking to test their mettle (pun intended) and take in one of the most majestic views of Mount Rainier you have ever seen.
