The Stevens Canyon Entrance provides access to the southeastern side of Mount Rainier National Park and connects visitors to some of the park’s most iconic features during the snow-free season. From this entrance, travelers can reach the Ohanapecosh Campground and Visitor Center, a central hub for learning about the park’s natural and cultural history. Nearby highlights include the Grove of the Patriarchs, where ancient trees tower above the forest floor, and Box Canyon, a dramatic chasm carved by rushing water.

Stevens Canyon Road offers a scenic drive through dense forests with occasional views of waterfalls and rugged terrain, though it closes seasonally during winter due to snow. When open, this entrance is especially popular with visitors seeking quieter park experiences while still enjoying access to well-known destinations, making it an inviting gateway for exploration and discovery.
