A full-day Washington mountain road trip from Monroe to Leavonworth, over Stevens and Blewett Passes, with waterfalls, Bigfoot, ghost towns, winding roads, and plenty of reasons to stop along the way.
Waterfalls
An 88-foot waterfall hidden just off the Mount Baker Highway, Nooksack Falls is the perfect Washington roadside stop. The walk is barely a tenth of a mile, but the payoff is a roaring waterfall, a deep forested canyon, and one more reason to slow down and explore the road less traveled.
