Washington Pass

In July 2006 I pedaled my bicycle up and down Washington Pass. At that time I thought it was the most beautiful pass I've ever crossed. I vowed to return. In August of this year I did just that, although my means of transportation was of the 4 wheel varity. Although my transporatation method was different I stand by my opening statement. Washington Pass is the most beautiful pass I've expereinced.



Washington Pass rises 5477 feet above sea-level. By vehicle it's accessed by Hwy 20, also known as North Cascades Highway. Typically, the pass is closed November-April due to heavy snowfall.






























The West side of the pass is dominated by Diablo Lake.
