Decent, workable

Getting there: The road to the top is decent gravel and readily passable in a Subaru. There are some sections of big ruts and large loose rocks, so I'm not sure I'd want to attempt this with low clearance or only 2 wheel drive. It's a drive-up with good clearance and/or bravery, but otherwise it's a 1/3 mile walk up the rest of the road to the top from the obvious camping area.  

There is no bushwhacking required.

There are plenty of trees to hang a wire from. 

There is plenty of room for a 67 foot wire. 

There is a fantastic view of Mount Rainier. I got lots of great photos while I was there. 

You can drag along your significant other on this one and they probably won't hold it against you forever. Probably.

There is a decent view of Mount Adams on the way back to the car.
There is a decent place to park and camp if you don't want to brave the road to the top.
