Washington Pass in North Cascades National Park

            Driving through Washington Pass on Highway 20 is an experience that highlights the beauty and challenges of the North Cascades.  Construction of Highway 20, also known as the North Cascades Highway, is a fascinating story of engineering and perseverance.  The steep, rugged terrain posed significant challenges for construction crews.  Harsh weather, including heavy snowfall and avalanches, made construction difficult and dangerous.  Efforts were made to minimize the environmental impact on the pristine wilderness of the North Cascades National Park.   

Highway 20 was completed and opened to the public in 1972, providing a crucial link through these rugged mountains.  It is often closed during winter months due to heavy snowfall and reopens in the spring.
