The Cascade Loop
I'm planning on taking the Cascade Loop with a friend in a few weeks. I doubt I'll have any trouble with snow this time of the year, but it wouldn't hurt to ask. Has anyone else taken the route before? Any recommendations or sites I don't necessarily need to visit? For those who never heard of it: http://cascadeloop.com/ |

Great loop (drive)
The only thing better than doing this loop in an '86 would be to do it on a motorcycle! It will be an awesome route. Enjoy!

I've lost count how many times I've done the Loop.
If you go on the weekdays, less people possibly so more fun. People tend to not pull over to let you by so be aware of that (from my experiences). When they do, give them a thumbs up as thanks! Leavenworth is the usual place to stop for food and break. My opinion, skip whidbey island, it was ok but ehhhh.... |

Personally my favorite part is the North Cascades. I would also skip the "region 8"

I'm waiting for the Spring semester to end before I take the trip, but it's probably unnecessary to miss work for it. Iunno is it worth treating it like a full vacation the first time around? |

And the wild card is also how many hours you expect (want) to be in the seat.... some people are "done" after 3-4 hours... some can go 7+ hours a day.

Each time I do the loop, I finish it within 10 hours. That includes stops for restroom, one 1.5 hour lunch, and spots for pictures. Can finish it faster if we *cough* drive faster with less breaks, which we usually do. Really unnecessary to miss work for the loop. If you want to do it in 2-ish days and enjoy the scenic sights, leave Saturday in the early AM then return Sunday night. |
