Mount Rainier Scenic Railroad Review

This train takes you through lush forests and across scenic bridges, covering 14 miles of incomparable beauty. Seasonal theme trips, such as the Great Pumpkin Express and the Snowball Express, are also available. The trains depart from Elbe, 11 miles west of Ashford, then bring passengers to a lovely picnic area near Mineral Lake before returning.
