Explore the breathtaking North Cascades with this self-guided driving tour. This drive through Washington’s mountains includes snow-capped peaks, rushing rivers, and lush forests, but that’s not all.

Take one of the nation’s most scenic drives and get a whole lot of fascinating stories and travel tips as you drive! Purchase one tour per car, not per person. Everyone listens together! After booking, check your email for instructions. Download the separate Tour Guide App by Action, enter your unique password, and access your tour. These steps REQUIRE good internet/Wi-Fi access.

This is not a ticket for attractions along the route. Check hours before visiting.

Points of Interest

Stop At: Sedro Woolley
Sedro Woolley, Washington
We’ve just left the quaint town Sedro-Woolley. Once two towns, this unusually-named settlement was later combined into one town. Before the merger, men had a different name for Sedro. They called it Bug! The mosquitos were pretty thick at that time, so it seemed a fitting name. Luckily, the ladies of the town disagreed, so the name didn’t stick. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.
Duration: Not Available

Stop At: Lyman
Lyman, Washington
That’s what early pioneers did in the mid-to-late 1800s. These pioneers came from all over the country. Some were from Pennsylvania. Others from North Carolina. And a few weren’t American at all—they were Canadian. Most came in search of gold, but others were fur trappers or just seeking plentiful farmland.
Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Rasar State Park
38730 Cape Horn Rd, Concrete, Washington
We’re just a short way away from Rasar State Park, known as the rainforest of Skagit County. Home to views of the Skagit River, 4,000 feet of freshwater shoreline for fishing and camping, Rasar State Park is a beautiful pit stop. There is a fee to visit.
Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Rockport State Park
51095 State Route 20, Rockport, Washington
Old-growth forest is, well, old. Old-growth forests are forests that have grown for a very long time without any major disturbances from things like logging. As you can imagine, that makes them pretty rare. Some of the trees in this forest are over 300 years old!
Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Skagit River

We’ve been driving alongside the powerful Skagit River for some time now. At 150 miles long, the Skagit River runs all the way from British Columbia to northwest Washington, where we are now.
Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: North Cascades National Park
North Cascades Highway, Washington
At last we’re approaching the western entrance to North Cascades National Park. It doesn’t cost anything to visit the park, but you will need a Northwest Forest Pass if you plan on hiking any of the trails.
Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Diablo Dam
Rockport, WA 98283
We’re approaching Diablo Dam and Diablo Lake. Diablo Dam is the second dam in the Skagit Hydroelectric Project. Built in 1930, Diablo Dam is 389 feet high. At the time it was built, that made it the tallest dam in the world.
Duration: Not Available

Stop At: Diablo Lake Vista Point
Hwy 20, Mile Marker 132, Washington
We’re crossing the Thunder Arm of Diablo Lake. Don’t worry, we’ll have a better look soon. We’re approaching the Diablo Lake Vista Point. This quick stop is well worth your time.
Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Ross Lake National Recreation Area
Washington
This forested trail leads down to Ross Lake and Ross Dam. It’s a moderate hike of only 1.5 miles, which takes about an hour. If you have the time to spare, this is a great option for most skill levels.
Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Easy Pass Trail
Easy Pass Trail, WA
We’re approaching Easy Pass Trail. Ironically, this trail is anything but easy. Covering seven miles, this challenging hike can take over three hours. Part of the difficulty comes from the creeks the trail crosses. If there’s been rain or snowmelt, they can get seriously treacherous. To make things trickier, this trail can be snowy well into July.
Duration: Not Available

Stop At: Blue Lake Trailhead
Winthrop, WA 98862
This moderate four-mile hike takes about two hours to complete. It winds its way through meadows and dense forest before arriving at the main event: A sparkling blue glacial lake tucked into the wilderness. If you have a couple of hours to spare and want to capture that perfect mountain photo, this is a great option.
Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Washington Pass Overlook
31 Early Winters Dr, One mile west of Mazama toward Washington Pass, Washington
We’re approaching the Washington Pass Observation Site. This is a must-see viewpoint of the Washington Pass. Here, you’ll see spectacular views of Liberty Bell Mountain and Early Winters Spires. Thanks to its position between soaring peaks, the Washington Pass is covered by up to 40 feet of snow in the winter.
Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Kangaroo Ridge
WA 98862
We’re coming up on a bend in the road ahead, where we’ll get a fabulous look at Kangaroo Ridge. This three-mile-long ridge tops out at 8,326 feet at its highest point. I highly recommend stopping at the bend for a quick look at these mountains.
Duration: Not Available

Stop At: Okanogan
Okanogan, Washington
We’re currently driving through Okanogan County, home to the Okanogan tribe. Today, just over 38,000 people live here. This area was one of the last to be settled by non-Okanogan due to how remote it is.
Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Methow River
Hwy 20, , Winthrop, Washington
we’ll be driving alongside the pristine Methow River. Crossing nearly 2,000 miles, the river gets its name from one of the Native American tribes of the area. The Native American name of the river translates roughly into salmon falls river.
Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Winthrop
Winthrop, Washington
We’re heading toward the town of Winthrop. Initially, only fur trappers visited. It wasn’t until the late 1800s when more white settlers came to the area.
Duration: 10 minutes
