Top 10 North America Scenic Drives - Washington State

One of the Top 10 North America Scenic Drives is in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State. I-20 snakes it's way through the Cascade National Park to an elevation where even in the July heatwave, there are snow patches by the road. If travelling by motor-home or motorcycle, take note that the road surface is excellent.
Just when you think the scenery of rugged peaks, wildflowers and green alpine slopes can't be topped, the road brings you to Diablo Lake. Fed by glaciers the water takes on a blue color that just doesn't seem real. Memorable and truly one of the Top 10 North America Scenic Drives.

Mount Washington Auto Road

Recorded September 15, 2016

The Mount Washington Auto Road an 8 mile toll road that extends from New Hampshire Route 16 in Pinkham Notch to the summit of Mount Washington in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The road climbs 4,618 feet from an altitude of 1,527 feet at the bottom to 6,145 feet at the top, an average gradient of 11.6%. The road was completed and opened to the public in 1861. Due to its remarkable location, weather, and history, the Mount Washington Auto Road is unlike any other driving experience in the Eastern United States. A trip on Mount Washington Auto Road is a one-of-a-kind experience offering ever-changing weather extremes, panoramic views and the opportunity to pass through four distinct climate zones as you climb to the highest peak in the Northeast. This video is one complete roundtrip of the scenic journey.

WATERFALL ROAD TRIP | Columbia River Gorge, Oregon

Multnomah Falls has been on my bucket list since I saw pictures of it years ago on Instagram. It is cooler in person than in pictures.

On this little road trip, we headed east through Washington past some very scenic overlooks. We crossed the Bridge of the Gods into Oregon and explain where the name came from. Then we checked out the waterfall area of the Columbia River Gorge, stopping at Horsetail Falls, Multnomah Falls, and Latourell Falls.

We didn't have the time to hike to Oneonta Falls. Next time!
