At the middle of March, I have about 10 days off from school.
I'm planning to take a visit to Mount Rainier National Park, staying in my car through 2 or 3 nights thro.
But other than this national park, is there any other place that worth to travel? Like the Crete Lake national park in Oregon? Or any other suggestion?
Thanks for input first

Unless you plan on doing a lot of snowshoeing, don't plan on Crater Lake being a good target this time of year. As for Rainier, the vast majority of the park is still closed. You can walk along the Carbon River Road, you can walk in a mile or two along the Nisqually / West Side Road, and the Mowich Lake Road is open to the standard winter closure and won't be drivable to the lake until May at the earliest, but all the other access to the park closed until May.
I'd suggest heading towards the Olympic Rainforest or the coast during this time of year. No crowds and just as green as you'll ever find.
