Visit Tacoma-Pierce County is excited to introduce the "Cabin Quest" itinerary, a three-day excursion perfect for travelers who want to blend rugged outdoor adventures with the comfort of rustic cabins. With fall foliage on full display and Mount Rainier as the backdrop, this itinerary promises scenic hikes, cozy lodges, and offbeat attractions that offer the charm of the Pacific Northwest without the crowds.
The "Cabin Quest" experience begins with a taste of Pierce County’s autumnal landscapes, from hay rides and corn mazes at local farms to lunches in cabin-style pubs that feel straight out of a mountain novel. Animal lovers will revel in the unique experience of a goat farm visit, complete with cheese tastings and scenic tours. And for dinner, guests can cozy up with cider and barbecue at a quiet spot nestled in the woods.
Day two takes adventure up a notch, with morning hikes to waterfalls and an afternoon spent exploring the rails—literally—on a rail bike excursion. After a day of exploring, guests retreat to their own treehouse-like cabin in the forest, complete with scenic views, a kitchen, and the chance to cook a meal surrounded by the towering Douglas firs. It’s the kind of evening where nightfall arrives with a sense of magic, miles away from urban hustle.
On the final day, the itinerary leads guests into Mount Rainier National Park, where they can explore a variety of trails with fall foliage and stunning lake views. Classic diners serve up hearty fare to fuel these adventures, while cozy restaurants nearby offer rich mountain-inspired dishes for the perfect finish to a day spent in the crisp autumn air.
“Cabin Quest isn’t just about exploring Mount Rainier’s scenic beauty, but about capturing that warm, cozy feeling that only comes from unplugging and finding adventure in the wilderness,” said Matt Wakefield, Chief Marketing and Data Officer for Visit Tacoma-Pierce County. “It’s the perfect combination of heart-pounding hikes and heartwarming fireside moments in cabins that make you feel like you’re part of the landscape.”
Whether it’s savoring fresh blackberry pie at a rustic inn or sharing stories around a cabin fire pit, "Cabin Quest" offers travelers a unique way to connect with Pierce County’s rugged beauty. Full itinerary details are available at www.visitpiercecounty.com.
