Route 66 Road Trip Tips

Planning a Route 66 road trip and wondering, “Is Route 66 worth it?” Today, some of those attractions remain, but the truth is, you’ll find more abandoned buildings and sad towns than kitschy attractions. In fact, there really is no true “Route 66” anymore; once I-40 was built, Route 66 lost its appeal to travelers and in 1985, completely ceased to exist.

Christine Falls – Mt. Rainier National Park Washington

Christine Falls – Mt. Rainier National Park Washington

Christine Falls is located roughly 6 miles from the Longmire area, along the road to Paradise. This waterfall is located off of a roadside pullout and requires a very short walk to the overlook. This is a very busy pullout and you may need to wait for a parking spot to open up. If you’re entering Mt. Rainier National Park from the Nisqually entrance, Christine Falls viewpoint will likely be one of your first stops in the park, save for Longmire.
