The North Cascades Highway in The North Cascade Loop
The North Cascades Highway in The North Cascade Loop
At Concrete, a US Forest Service Spur leads to Baker Lake, just east of Mount Baker. This reservoir is popular for hiking, canoeing and angling. Back on the highway, Rte. 20 passes through Rockport State Park and the Skagit River Bald Eagle Natural Area. Continuing on the highway, stop at the Gorge Creek Falls, and then you reach the crystalline Diablo Lake and Ross Lake, both large reservoirs. After Ross Lake, the beautiful North Cascades Hwy. climbs up to Rainy pass (4855') which is a wonderful viewpoint for the area and where a paved trail leads to Rainy Lake. The road ascends even higher up to Washington Pass (5477'), the highest point on this loop. After Washington Pass, the highway snakes down the slope down to the Methow Valley.
