| The great bicycle descent of Washington Pass |
Only days ago we learned that the North Cascades Highway (Washington 20) would be open this week and allow us to drive our intended route. Rumor was that over 75' of snow had to be removed in some spots and avalanche hazards analyzed and mitigated. These mountains are severe - sheer, ice covered, terrifying. Have they really been climbed? Absolutely amazing territory.
We capped off the day not far from our destination of Winthrop, Washington with a bike ride down the east side of Washington pass on Washington twenty. See it here.

Although I'd like to see one of those bad a$$ snow plows in person, I am happy we haven't needed one in B-ton. :) Have you heard we are melting here? People are literally melting all over town...it's THAT hot.
