Take the second exit onto Pacific Avenue, which is also Highway 7 South, following the sign to Paradise. Pacific Avenue at this point is a stretch of Highway 7 that is stop-and-go traffic for about 10 miles through suburbs of Tacoma; Parkland and Spanaway. Buy gas if you need to at the second ARCO Station you see along Pacific Ave., where it is the least expensive. Pacific Ave. ends finally, and becomes Highway 7 again; a 2-lane route that climbs up into the mountains, taking you to the very small town of Elbe. At Elbe, bear left and begin Highway 706 East, following the signs to Mt. Rainier National Park. From Elbe, we are 6.7 miles on the right. Look for our sign and an antique Railroad baggage wagon that has our "Vacancy" sign. We are on a slight curve on Highway 706, and many people pass us and have to turn around. If you see a sign that says "Welcome to Ashford" you have gone too far!
