One major advantage of living in Seattle is the luxury of driving around lush green snow-capped mountains all year around. Drove around cascade loop many times in the past 5 and half years I have been here. It is one of the best drives and is scenic all through. Pictures from my first drive around this loop -
The Wenatchee river that runs parallel to US 2 until Leavenworth, WA |
July 4th fireworks at Wenatchee, WA |
Lake Chelan |
Rainbow Falls at Stehekin, WA |
Washington Pass on State route 20 |
