Confirmed from Centennial Viewpoint Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Scenic park providing picnic tables and a statue, plus views of Mount Rainier.
What runners say about Centennial Viewpoint Park
“So gorgeous the view is amazing absolutely breathtaking on a clear day.”
Small scenic viewpoint of Mt Rainier tucked away next to a cemetery. It’s not a large location, so I imagine it can get crowded quickly. I came early in the morning, so no one was around. Nevertheless it was a nice view!
Such a nice and cute place to visit. I love the little walk ways and grassy area. Perfect for short walks.
Trail conditions & character
“Out standing view in certain areas, however no climbing trees the only reason it's not rated a 5 And the tree should be trimmed to support the panoramic veiw of Mount Rainier”
“Its a very small area with a small parking lot so plan to go when its cold and less people”
