Washington State Department of Transportation (WS DOT) maintenance crewmembers on both the east and west sides of the North Cascades mountain passes are in the process of clearing snow from 37 miles of the highway, including Rainy and Washington passes.

This scenic byway is part of the Cascade Loop, a 400-mile driving tour through the Cascades. WSDOT closes the North Cascades Highway in the winter when snow and avalanche danger threatens the safety of drivers and maintenance crews. On average, the highway ... Read Full Story

In writing a recent piece for AAI's Blog, I was describing what a typical approach to the Pickett Range -- a sub-range of the Cascades here in Washington -- involves, and bushwacking was a big part of that.

Rainfall in the Olympics, Willapa Hills, and North Cascades is expected to reach 5-10 inches. “Olympic rivers will flood and there is a strong possibility of flood downstream of the N. Cascades (e.g., Nooksack).”

North Cascades National Park is a contradiction.

To begin with, it’s more than a singular park. It's part of a complex – spread out over 1,069 square miles from Lake Chelan to the Canadian border – that includes the Ross Lake and Lake Chelan national recreation areas.

The highway was closed last Saturday after a powerful fall storm brought heavy snow to the Cascade Mountains and reopened early Tuesday afternoon. State Route 20 was one of three mountain roads that closed last weekend. State Route 410 at Chinook Pass and State Route 123 at Cayuse Pass...
