Experience Washington's Ultimate Road Trip!
There's nothing like hitting the open road, cranking up the tunes, feeling the wind in your hair and taking a big old gulp of fresh air. And there's nothing like doing this on the Cascade Loop scenic drive!
The Cascade Loop National Scenic Byway is comprised of nine unique regions that span a 440-mile loop from the salty sea air of the Puget Sound and the Salish sea along lush river valleys of Western Washington, over mountain passes surrounded by dense evergreen forest, past apple orchards and vineyards, through acres of fields and farmland, and the shrub-steppe of the Eastern Washington -- the wildlife and scenery will leave you breathless! Each of the communities along this route have distinctive geography, geology and activities. The best way to enjoy it all, is to explore it all!

Three of the unique regions on the Cascade Loop are in Chelan County: Leavenworth and the Cascade Foothills, Wenatchee and the Columbia River Valley, and the Lake Chelan Valley. Each region features unique geography, culture and charm, and they all feature amazing recreation opportunities!
The winner of the longest distance migrated goes to the 50,000 Snow Geese who travel to the Skagit Valley from Wrangel Island in northern Siberia. Some birds have been recorded flying three days non-stop to come to the fields where they will feast through the winter on the leftovers in the plowed fields from Sedro-Woolley east to the Salish Sea.
