Here are some of the things most people are looking for:
Mountain Passes:
Some folks are surprised to discover that a range of mountains (the Cascades) divides the Puget
Sound from Eastern Washington, and the Olympic Mountains take up much of the Olympic Peninsula. If you are traveling
around the Olympic Peninsula there's just one main road that goes around (Hwy 101), but you have the option to get off it
in a few places. Check
the map recommendations (below) for more info.
If you are crossing the Cascades, most people would recommend you use the North Cascades Highway, also
known as State Route 20. SR20 is closed in the winter (as are some of the other mountain passes). Find out
pass conditions, season closure information, and more at the
WA State DOT website.
