State Route 706 (SR 706, also known as the Road to Paradise〔) is a state highway in Pierce County, in the U.S. state of Washington. It extends from SR 7 in the census-designated place (CDP) of Elbe east to the Longmire gate of Mount Rainier National Park. The highway formerly was part of the Tacoma – Mount Rainier branch of Primary State Highway 5 (PSH 5 TR) from 1937 until 1964 and ran from Tacoma south to Elbe and east to Longmire. In 1964, PSH 5 TR from Tacoma to Elbe became part of SR 7 and the Elbe to Mount Rainier section became SR 706. ==Route description==
SR 706 runs from an intersection with SR 7 in the census-designated place (CDP) of Elbe, east to end at the Longmire gate of Mount Rainier National Park (Mount Rainier NP). The route serves as a connector from Elbe to Mount Rainier NP.〔 The highway is open all-year and the entrance to Mount Rainier National Park is open all-year round, unlike other entrances that are open only in the summer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mount Rainier National Park )〕 WSDOT has found that more than 3,100 motorists utilize the road daily after the interchange with I-5 based on average annual daily traffic (AADT) data. SR 706 starts at an intersection with SR 7 in Elbe. After the junction, the road goes northeast, paralleling a railroad owned by Tacoma Rail.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Railroad Contacts in Washington State )〕 The railroad extends south to Morton and north to Tacoma.〔 The highway then turns southeast to Park Junction. After passing Park Junction, SR 706 turns due east to National, where the railroad ends. From National, the road turns northeast and curves southeast into Ashford. In Ashford, the highway returns going due east before starting to curve and then end at the entrance to Mount Rainier National Park.〔 The road continues east to the Henry M. Jackson Visitor Center.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fertile Valley: Mount Rainier National Park )〕
