Car
If you're traveling by car within Mount Rainier National Park, head towards the Chinook Pass area. From the park entrance, take WA-410 E. Continue on WA-410 E for about 18 miles, then turn left onto the Old Mine Road. Follow the Old Mine Road for approximately 3 miles until you reach the Old Mine Trailhead parking area. Make sure to check for any park fees at the entrance, which can vary depending on the type of vehicle.
Public Transportation
Using public transportation to reach Old Mine Trailhead is a bit more complex. You can take a bus from Seattle or Tacoma to the Enumclaw area. From there, you'll need to arrange for a taxi or rideshare service to reach the park entrance. Once at the entrance, follow the same directions as for car travel. Be aware that public transportation options may have limited schedules, especially during off-peak seasons, so plan accordingly.
