Nice place to camp and explorer! The old or original town of Alder was located in Pierce County WA where present day Alder lake is located. Alder was platted in 1905 by Martin Holes. The name of the town was taken from the abundance of alder trees on the hills surrounding the town site. In 1909 the town had a population of 200 with two general stores, two hotels, fraternal hall, church, school, saw and shingle mill, and two logging camps nearby. In 1942 the second Nisqually Dam Project began. Construction on the Dam lasted through WWII. In September of 1944 the last bucket of concrete was poured, completing the dam. The town of Alder moved out, and the town site was flooded shortly there after. www.ghosttownsofwashington.com/alder.html #camping #park #view #history #getoutside #hiking

Crystal was great. She got a new remote for me as the volume didn't work on the other one. She tried to help me cast my phone to the tv, but it didn't work. The room was clean, the bathroom had a towel rack that wasn't on the wall right and seemed a little unstable. The curtain rod was broke, but ...

Lovely place. Thoughtful amenities.
The tiny house had what was advertised.. a small cozy place. We stayed in container 3 and loved our first experience in a tiny container home. BBQ grill and outdoor vibes were amazing.

Driving into the Clearwater Wilderness area is like a trip back in time. The curving roads take you first through the quaint, old-western town of Wilkeson, before depositing you suddenly at the edge of a deep ravine, crossable only via the one-lane Fairfax Bridge. On a misty morning, this is an unforgettable scene - one that makes you feel much further from civilization than you actually are. Just make sure to check for oncoming cars before making your way across! #lifeatexpedia #roadtrip
