Chinook Pass Entrance Arch, Rustic stone and wood footbridge at Mount Rainier National Park entrance, Washington, US.

The Chinook Pass Entrance Arch spans State Route 410 with a rectangular log structure supported by stone abutments at an elevation of 5,432 feet.

The National Park Service Branch of Plans and Designs created the entrance arch in 1933, with construction completed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936.

The structure exemplifies National Park Service rustic architecture through its integration of natural materials and traditional construction methods into public infrastructure.

Located at coordinates 46.871875, -121.515678 in Pierce County, the arch connects to multiple hiking paths including the Pacific Crest Trail and Naches Peak Loop.

The entrance arch underwent substantial restoration between 2011 and 2012 to address deterioration caused by decades of exposure to mountain weather conditions.
