If you are looking for a quaint and quirky stop on your way to Mount Rainier, Elbe might be the perfect place for you. This tiny town of 29 people is home to a historic Lutheran church, a scenic railroad, and a unique motel made of cabooses. You can enjoy a slice of pizza at the Pizza Express, or hop on a train ride to see the majestic mountain and the surrounding forests. You can also explore the trails and rivers on horseback with EZ Times Outfitter, or relax in a cozy cabin at the Mt. Rainier Village Inn. Elbe is a charming and rustic destination that offers a glimpse of the past and the present in the shadow of the volcano.
