Enumclaw (EE-num-claw) occupies a low plateau surrounded by dairy farms. The views of Mt. Rainier are outstanding from just about anywhere in town. Situated along Highway 410, Enumclaw is a portal for summer approaches to Mount Rainier’s Sunrise area, as well as a jumping-off point to the remote northeastern corner of the park near Carbon River.
