A view of Mount Adams from the Box Canyon Overlook, Mount Rainier National Park

An unidentified person viewing the distant Mt. Adams from the Box Canyon viewing platform in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington

On a clear day at Box Canyon, you can get some pretty sweet views not only of Mount Rainier on one side of the road, but of Mount Adams on the other side. The Box Canyon Overlook is located along the Stevens Canyon Road approximately 19 miles from the Stevens Canyon Entrance to the park.

The 360-degree view from its summit is stunning, encompassing Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains to the west, Mount Baker far to the north, the Columbia River country to the east, spreading south toward Mount Adams, Mount St. Helens, and Mount Hood down in Oregon. I saw all of this on a perfectly clear summit day and having done so makes me appreciate the approach Jeff Antonelis-Lapp takes in this book.
