The roads and highways surrounding Mount Rainier National Park do not combine to form a single loop. Therefore, visitors must choose from one of four different park entrances. Each entrance leads to a different series of unique activities and mountain views. Most enter from the Nisqually entrance at the southwest corner of the park. The other gateways include Ohanapecosh in the southeast corner, White River at the northeast, and Carbon River in the northwest.
