Love the decor and ambiance. Cute little tables and fun souvenirs. There is also plenty of outdoor seating. Friendly baristas - they roast their own coffee beans and offer many freshly baked goods. Try their delicious ham & cheese scones!

Delicious pizza with thick chewy crust, a few good entree salad options, sandwiches & burgers. Our kids love Cruiser’s. Order at the front counter, take a seat and they’ll bring your food out to your table.

We always have a good experience at Nachos. We love their warm chips & salsa, super nachos, chile rellano and sizzling fajitas. Dine-in or to-go. These guys can get REALLY busy so try to avoid typical dinner times. 11am-9pm, closed Mon. Open until 10pm Fri & Sat.

Sightseeing

So much sightseeing in the Packwood area. Make sure to stop in at the visitor center and collect some brochures, maps, and ask any questions you have about the area. Wonderful, and helpful resource. We also like using AllTrails.com to search for nearby hikes, and their current conditions. Filter hikes by length, elevation gain, accessibility and more.

The Ohanapecosh Visitor Center, open from June to early October, offers exhibits, guided interpretive programs, and book sales. Great place to learn about Mount Rainier and if you have a little one, they can pick up a packet to earn their Mt. Rainier Junior Ranger’s Badge. There is a 30 minute loop trail from the visitor’s center. Or get a day pass and picnic along the river.

Beautiful & fairly easy 2 mile loop. Tons of beautiful old trees and new growth, with several access points to enjoy Skate Creek. At the trail head there is about 4 parking spots, but if you follow Craig Rd there is another handful of spots around the first bend. There is a porta-potty at the trailhead and a couple of picnic tables. Great views. Please pack out any trash you bring or find. We’ll need to come back in the winter to try out some snowshoeing here.
