Open: Year-round

​

In the heart of Washington’s Cascade Range, lofty peaks provide the backdrops for this premier destination resort on the Cowlitz River. The beauty of the resort and surrounding grandeur combine to invite everyone to explore and enjoy all that nature has to offer. Between Mount St. Helens Volcanic National Monument to the south, and Mount Ranier National Park to the north, the park is perfectly situated for exploring and immersing yourself in two very different landscapes. The towering peaks and glaciers of the 14,411-foot Mount Ranier defy description, especially when viewed from the breathtaking Sunrise Area. The still towering peak of a diminished Mount St. Helens is eclipsed only by the ravages of the volcanic eruption that devastated this area in 1980. Each mountain tells its own fascinating stories of power, endurance, and life. As impressive as these scenes are, they represent only a portion of the vistas and opportunities of this area.

Facilities / Amenities: This resort offers a clubhouse, equipped pavilion, outdoor heated swimming pools, playground, picnic area, horseshoes, basketball, volleyball, movies, hiking trails, and river fishing on the resort (license required). Dump station.
