Summer is the time for road trips and if you’re looking to see the PNW, more specifically Washington state, boy oh boy do we have a drive for you. The Cascade Loop is one of the best ways to hit the open road and see the variety of landscapes our state has to offer. Here’s what you can expect.

The Cascade Loop is a two to four-day drive encompassing over 400 miles of Washington state. During summer and early fall, you can enjoy water sports, fishing, cycling, hiking in higher elevations, and community farmers’ markets. Further, into fall, you’ll be able to see beautiful colored foliage, enjoy cool temperatures and even check out the apple and pear harvest.
