context_page_description: State Route 165 is a numbered state highway in Washington, United States. Its northern terminus is at State Route 410 in Buckley. Its southern terminus is at the Mount Rainier National Park boundary near Mowich Lake.
context_section_description: The road begins at an intersection with State Route 410 in Buckley. It heads south, intersects with State Route 162 and then passes through the towns of Wilkeson and Carbonado. South of Carbonado, the road forks and the pavement ends.  The north fork goes to the Carbon River entrance to Mount Rainier National Park, while SR 165 continues along the south fork (Mowich Lake Road) into Mount Rainier National Park.
    
  State maintenance (along with the State Route 165 designation) ends at the park boundary.  Mowich Lake Road continues 6 miles (9 km) into the park, ending at the parking area at Mowich Lake. The road inside the park is only open from July to October each year due to winter conditions.
