We are in Priest River, ID & heading to Dalles tomorrow. Planner shows going around to Enumclaw & down or go to Yakima & up. Can someone please give me your thoughts.
Thx

There is a City Park. Min. two nights
Cascade park
Also RV camping at the Fair grounds.

Enblethen,
Just noticed your from Moses Lake. Tell me about your county park there. Think I could get a site tonite?

Thx! I was leaning on coming the Enumclaw way but thought I’d check.

You are talking about the FS campground on 410 on the NE side of Mt Rainier. Coming over Chinook Pass on 410 from Yakima is very scenic, and recommended for a car. But the loops on the west side of that pass as the closest thing to switchbacks I've seen on state or federal highways - probably 20 mph curves.

I90 and 410 from the Seattle side will be easier.

I'm not sure about your profile. You may have a small enough rig to enjoy the pass.

If possible check the pass in detail with a online or GPS program - terrain, streetview, etc.

Missed CG
I-90 to WA 18, south to Maple Valley, then WA 169 to WA 410 to Campground

Are you talking The Dalles, OR?
If so you could come I-90 to US 395 near Ritzville. Take US 395 to I-84 near Umatilla, OR then west to The Dalles.
