  1. This weekend we had the opening for the North Cascade Highway. Wife and I always do the drive when it first opens. A total of 529 miles from our house North up I5 to Burlington, then East to Lake Diablo and then over the pass to the town of Winthrop, then on to Lake Chelan, Leavenworth and then up and over Hwy 2 (Steven's Pass) and back home. Left at 6am, returned home at 4:34pm. Not a bad road trip. Had drinks and food in the auto, but did stop for a bathroom break at Winthrop and the chocolate shop, got a snack at the Cider Bar in Lake Chelan of Zucchini Fries and then at the Heidelberg food stand for what we think is some of the best juicy chicken strips and deep fried mushrooms. All was very clean and social distant with masks. Good safe relaxing day. If your interested in what it looks like, I took 61 photos of the drive. Chocolate shop in Winthrop is awesome if you love chocolate. Lake Diablo North Cascade Highway (HWY 20) Washington State - Cheers and Gears Love the remodel, that is AWESOME! Look forward to the finished pictures.
  2. This is considered one of the top 10 drives in the US. It closes when snow starts coming down late fall due to avalanches and reopens at various times in the spring depending on the winter snow fall. An amazing loop from Seattle north on I5 to Burlington, then east on Hwy 20 to Lake Diablo, then continue east to the Town of Winthrop Washington going over the Liberty Bell Pass. From Winthrop you drive through the little town of Twisp, Carlton down to HWY 97 South to Starr. Continue south till you hit the sign that says Lake Chelan HWY 150. This takes you to the town and the lake. Lots of Wineries. You can then take the Alternative 97 on the south side of the lake to Winesap and then south to Entiat down to Wenatchee. From here you take HWY 2 to Sunnyslope, Cashmere and into Leavenworth and then back up over the mountain pass and back to Seattle.
