At 5,430 ft, Chinook Pass offers stunning mountain along Mather Memorial Parkway. The pass is open mid-May to November—check for seasonal closures before you go.

The summit of this pass is marked by a rustic stone-and-wood archway that happens to be part of the legendary Pacific Crest Trail. If you want to hop off your bike for a minute, there's a pretty, short nature trail here with great views of Mt. Rainier, the Cascade Mountains, and Tipsoo Lake.

What a nice little alpine lake with crystal-clear, turquoise water. It is the perfect spot to take a break and collect some berries, if you are here during berry season.

Deer Lake has lots of room for tents with views over the turquoise water. Pine trees will provide you with shade and the lake itself is very inviting for a dip.

Leech Lake is worth a stroll from nearby White Pass. A wide, well maintained trail leads you close to the shoreline. There are camping options at the north side. It is also a nice alternate to get back to the PCT to avoid the road walk along Highway 12.

With Ginette Lake you reach the boundary of the Goat Rocks Wilderness. It is a great spot for a break or to pitch your tent. The lake is a good water source.

Lutz Lake is more like a small pond. Access to the water is not that easy since the shore is pretty muddy. So try to get your water before or after. There are spots at the pond that will fit up to three tents.

The bridge at Chinook Pass is the gateway into Mount Rainier National Park. A large parking lot is located just north of here. You will find pit toilets and trash cans there.
