Rainier Run/Crystal Mountain Gondola

Loading Events

UPDATE: Meet at the Enumclaw Safeway at 10:00 AM. 152 Roosevelt Ave E, Enumclaw, WA 98022. Due to high demand for this run, the first ten cars there will get ONE free gondola pass each. Additional gondola tickets are available at Crystal Mountain for $23. The ride takes ten minutes to cover what would take 3-6 hours to hike: It’s an excellent value!

Join Jet City Fieros on this new-to-us run to Crystal Mountain and Mt. Rainier. We’ll start the day with breakfast in Enumclaw, then drive scenic Highway 410 to Crystal Mountain Boulevard. At the top we’ll ride the Crystal Mountain Gondola from the base of the ski area, at 4,440′ all the way to the top of Crystal Mountain, at 6,856′. The gondola travels 9 MPH and reaches the top in just under ten minutes. At the top enjoy the scenic view, get a refreshment at the Summit House restaurant, and relax. The gondola provides a fast ride down to the base where we’ll drive back down Crystal Mountain Boulevard and continue up Highway 410 to make the drive to Sunrise, the highest road accessible point in Mount Rainier National Park. Adventurous members may continue south down Highway 410 to Ohanapecosh, then west to Paradise and completely circumnavigate Mt. Rainier!
