Overview

NF-410 is a short unmaintained Forest Service road that takes you on a climb up to 5800 feet to an incredible view of massive Mount Rainer. Along the trip, there are many opportunities to stop and take pictures of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Near the top, you ride the ridgeline and have incredible views on both sides. From this point, you tower over 700 feet above peaceful Lonesome Lake. At the end of the trial get ready to lose your breath. As the narrow road opens up, you will see Mount Rainer above the tree line directly ahead of you. It feels like you are on a path to the top of the mountain. The blue sky and white snow on the mountain towers above the dark green evergreen trees. This view of Mount Rainer is a magical sight to behold.
