Mt. Rainier Railroad and Logging Museum is offering a one-of-a-kind train excursion through western Washington. This scenic excursion known as the Rails to Ales ride combines some of our state’s best offerings: beautiful mountain views and impressive craft beer. The train departs from the historic depot in Elbe, ventures through the Nisqually Valley, and stops at a historic logging camp. There, passengers will exit the train for a two-hour intermission of live music and local beer. It’s hard to imagine a better way to appreciate Washington’s unique history and culture. So be sure to mark your calendar for September 28th, 2019, or better yet, grab your tickets now!
It's not every day that you get the chance to board a vintage 1940s and 1950s train, but that's just the start of Mt. Rainier's Rails to Ales train ride adventure.
This scenic train ride meanders over rivers, through the valley, and over the foothills of Mt. Rainier. It's a chance to appreciate the beautiful scenery of western Washington like never before.
Passengers will ride in comfort and style inside these vintage-inspired train cars. The front-facing upholstered seats offer the perfect vantage point for admiring the fall foliage along the way.
Once you arrive at the historic logging camp, Camp 6, the adventure continues. Regional breweries including Narrows Brewing, Half Lion Brewing, and Rouge Ales will be supplying craft beer for you to sample and enjoy.
Each brewery on site will provide information about the operation, history, and unique nature of their beers. It'll add to this fascinating experience and give you a deeper appreciation for the region.
