Posted: Sun March 13, 2005 01:00 PM UTC
My daughter will be visiting a friend in Seattle at the end of April - how practical is a day trip to MSH and where is best to go - she will want some good pics.
She will be travelling up by train from San Fran - alternatively is it possible to visit by public transport - Thanks guys

It's a long day trip from Seattle, but can be done. It's about 2-2.5 hours depending on traffic. There are 2 routes from I5, the northern route and the southern route. I think the best pics are on the northern route and that will be closer to Seattle anyway. I don't know of any public transit...I would recommend renting a car. If she has time to spend the night, have her check out Eco Park Resort. It's the closest lodging to the mountain, beautiful and affordable. Also, tell her to stop at the Olympic Club in Centralia on the way. It's great!

Keep an eye at the latest info. I know the look-off point was closed for some time just recently.
