Let's Drive Chinook Pass, Washington SR 410W

Описание: Chinook Pass is a winding, four-mile stretch of State Route 410 in the South Cascades of Washington, providing the east entrance to Mount Rainier National Park. It is part of the Chinook Scenic Byway and is considered one of the most beautiful routes in the country. Travelers along the route are rewarded with spectacular views of Mount Rainier, the lush alpine meadows surrounding the Tipsoo Lakes, the jagged peaks of the Goat Rocks, and the wilderness areas of the Wenatchee National Forest. Due to its high elevation of 5,430 feet (or 1,655 meters), Chinook Pass usually closes in November because of heavy snows and significant risk of avalanche. The Pass typically opens again in mid-May.
