With spring here in the United States (weather will hopefully cooperate soon), driving season is nearly here!  What are your favorite area roads to drive…?

"Let freedom ring" __ Martina McBride __ 'Independence Day'

My Favorite road and has been voted one of the top 10 drives in North America is the Cascade Loop. From Ocean to mountains on the North Cascade Highway and back over Highway 2. You get to go through a still very much western town with wooden sidewalks called Winthrop and enjoy the wineries of Lake Chelan and then back through Leavenworth and over Stevens pass back to the ocean in Everett.

That is a loop I regret not having the time for during my "coast-to-coast" road trip in 2011, David.  I've heard about it & several friends up in the greater Seattle area said I should save time for it ... but, I wasn't able to squeeze it in.  Doubt I'll be going back there, so I've missed by chance ... but would never have known that at the time.

Here are some pictures from my drive last year. Pass is not open yet but will be soon.

 

Winthrop is a great western town and people still drive their old Auto's.

 

 

On the North Cascade Highway over looking Diablo Lake.

Cool pics, David!

 

Really like that last one ... gorgeous view!
