Great Things to do
These are places we like to go.
One thing to do...if you can get up early enough for the sunrise...on a clear or semi-clear day you could witness one of the many painted sunrises we get to see over the foothills and Mt. Rainier. You can always go back to bed....usually the best ones are when there are just a few high clouds especially around Mt. Rainier.

Believe it or not...this is fun place to walk through. There is great furniture but its all of the quirky collections of animatronic people and fixtures throughout the connected buildings. There is a model train set that weaves around on multiple tracks overhead.
There is a candy shop with really good fudge. Most holiday weekends they serve free hot dogs and sodas all day.

This is a classic beach cruising route on the waterfront along Old Tacoma. At the end is Point Ruston, a new condominium development right on the water with many great restaurants and shops. There are many parking lots along the way to park and take a stroll along the water front, fish from the public fishing pier (license required) or flip rocks and see some crabs at the water's edge.

My husband and I both went to this park from the time we were young (Enchanted Village back then - expanded to Wild Waves). This is the Washington premier them park for the entire state. It is about 10-15 minutes from our guest house. Fun for the whole family. It is also open in October for Fright Fest (Halloween themed) and for Christmas time with thousands of lights and rides.

Bonney Lake is a small city that is quickly growing. I note this mainly so you can drive on a clear day up Highway 410 and go East towards Mt. Ranier. As you reach the top of the hill (we know as Eli Hill) you crest the hill and Mt. Ranier is as big as can be, it is framed by the trees and absolutely incredible. Just really cool to see if you want one of the best views of the biggest Mountains in the lower 48.

Wow-what can we say. You can see it from the guest house to the Southeast. This majestic behemoth is incredibly beautiful from a distance but to really appreciate it you need to get a lot closer. There are truly an endless number of hikes and incredible lakes and rivers and waterfalls to see. Some good starting points are either to go to Sunrise or to Paradise which are on opposite sides of the mountain from each other. Both are great starting points for short or long hikes or expeditions. Many mountaineers use paths along these routes to scale Mt. Ranier's peak.

There are 2 different public parks at either end of the lake. This is a very popular summer hang out. Get there early and stake your spot. Boat launches are at either park with large grass areas right at the waters edge. The lake is known for being warmer than your average lake in the summer time. It is a breathtaking location with Mt. Rainier hovering over the lake. A great spot on a summer day with some cold drinks and snacks.

This is a great place to take a walk around the lake. We like to get a cup of coffee and take our Cavapoo Daisy for a walk around the lake to visit with the people and the other occasional dogs. This is a popular fishing lake for kids, 12 and under it is heavily stocked with trout in the spring. There is a playground and play fields here also. Lots of shoreline.
