Buckley’s major attraction is Mt Rainier National Park, which was established on March 2, 1899, and encompasses 235,625 acres of area. Blessed with old growth forest and stunning wildflower meadows, the "mountain" in the park is an active volcano encased in over 35 square miles of snow and ice. The park is also rich in cultural resources and was designated a National Historic Landmark District as an outstanding example of early park planning and NPS rustic architecture. Whether you are looking for breathtakingly beautiful drives, exhilarating hikes, trekking trials or want to explore historic architecture, Mount Rainier has something for you. Easily accessible from Buckley vacation rentals and homes is the Buckley Skate Park where you can enjoy skating. Alternately, you can also visit Puyallup Fairground, which remains the venue for the largest single attraction held annually in the state of Washington. The Western Washington Fair Association hosts two annual events, the 17-day Puyallup Fair every September, and the four-day Puyallup Spring Fair every April. Here you can enjoy a wide array of activities from fabulous food and music competitions to Riverboat Puppet Show, Trout Fishing, and Giant Pumpkin Carving.
