I live at the base of Mt Rainier and go often but if I were you, I would camp at La Pine Or State Park and drive up to Crater Lake for the day. On the way to Mt Rainier, I'd stop at Mt Saint Helens for a look and I'd wave at Mt Rainier as you pass it by. It is a beautiful mountain but just a beautiful mountain. I'd grab Hwy 101 at Olympia and go up the east side and spend at least one night at Fort Worden State Park. Then I'd go and spend a couple days at Port Angeles. If you have a passport or enhanced drivers licence, I'd take the ferry to Victoria for just a day trip, and I'd also check out Hurricane RIdge. From Port Angeles, first I'd stop at Ruby Beach for a lock and some beautiful picture taking. Then I'd go to the Hoh, if you have a small RV but if not, check out Kalaloch.
