White Pass Scenic Byway

Total Segments Traveled

5/26/2010 Continued south, then on to US12, the White Pass Scenic Byway. This route headed up into the mountains, becoming very scenic, criss-crossing a river many times. A little before and after White Pass there was still snow on the ground. It would have been even more beautiful in nicer weather but still enjoyable.
