There are several amazing elopement spots in this area, reach out and let’s chat about some of my hidden and personal favorite spots.
Chinook Pass
Chinook Pass can be found near Enumclaw, making this area of the park a bit easier to access. You’ll be rewarded by a stunning drive into the park and will be able to enjoy part of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) which shares this area with the park. Some favorite elopement spots include Naches Peak Loop trail and Tipsoo Lake Loop trail. This area does become very crowded so I recommend a sunset weekday elopement!
