Stops could include the pleasant country town of Duvall and Carnation Farms, original home of the Carnation corporation. Snoqualmie Falls in April can be anywhere from wonderful to downright scary; the town of Snoqualmie hosts a regional railway (probably not operating in April) but you can see a LOT of old train cars and locomotives on the road between the falls and the town. In neighboring North Bend, you can have a piece of cherry pie and a damn fine cup of coffee at Twede's, made famous in Twin Peaks, or save your appetite and enjoy a good burger, shake, and utter sensory overload at the Triple XXX root beer drive-in in Issaquah on the way back to town. This is a great springtime loop from Seattle.

Gardyloo,
Thank you for the insightful local intel.

This loop looks like something that I would like to do. Is Mt Rainier accessible (think snow) in late May. Any massive wild flower fields (or farms) along this loop?
