It was a glorious drive along Washington State Highway 20, the North Cascades Scenic Highway. We left our campsite at Orondo to head north on US-97 then at Paternos we caught WA-153. It was at Twisp that we began traveling on WA-20.
We fueled up and gave a T@B tour in the Old West themed town of Winthrop.
And headed into the mountains! Awe inspiring views at every turn. Glaciers in the crags near the peaks!
Amazing sights. We had to pull over frequently to get out and take photos. We both kept trying to get the perfect photo of the T@B as part of the scenery!
Then we stopped at the Diablo Lake Overlook. It’s jaw-dropping incredible. Glacier sediment is responsible for that intense, luminous turquoise color. Soon thereafter we were ensconsed on Site #11 in the Newhalen Campground of North Cascades National Park.
