WASHINGTON STATE SCENIC HWY. 20

Many people traveling west across the state of Washington stay on Hwy. 2. Running parallel just 50 miles to the North is a much more scenic route with very little commercial traffic. Highway 20 goes through many unique, small, tourist type towns, the North Cascades and drops into the San Juan Islands through a labyrinth of vineyards, orchards and cornfields. You don’t have to worry all day about holding up traffic while you gawk and there are many opportunities to camp, fish, hike and shop. The road is in great shape with ample wide spots to pull over and let traffic by on steep climbs and downgrades. This has to be one of the most scenic blue highways in Washington State.
