Mt. Rainier
View from near Elbe, Washington

To return to Seattle, you can either continue to backtrack across US 12
to I-5, then head north, or take WA Rte. 7. I chose the latter,
since part of Rte. 7 is marked as a scenic highway on some maps.
While it does run just west of Mount Rainier, the mountain is
out of view most of the time. On my trip, traffic was heavy on
this winding 2-lane road, making the journey back to Seattle painfully
slow. I-5 would have been a much quicker, and easier, drive.
Above: the best view of Mt. Rainier I could find, at a boat
ramp near the town of Elbe.
