2 BHPians and a Porsche Boxster S | Road trip of 400 miles in 11 hours doing the North Cascade Loop

Introduction

There's nothing like hitting the open road, cranking up the engine of a sports car, feeling the wind in your hair and taking a big old gulp of fresh air. And there's nothing like doing this on the Cascade Loop!

Washington’s Cascade Loop paints a dramatic picture of the Pacific Northwest’s raw and wild scenery. The pictures you see in this photoblog are of summer and just imagine this entire loop will be covered with snow clad mountains from December-April which is an exact opposite of what you see in this photoblog.

We plan to do the loop again (probably in the BMW next time when its snow all around).

This loop has it all- the road trip reveals a landscape of lakes, rivers, forests, and mountains. With twisting scenic byways and opportunities for jaunts into untamed wilderness, the 440 mile loop is a testament to the varied landscapes of America’s Upper Left.

While many stops along the Cascade Loop are must-sees on their own, together they form an unforgettable road trip itinerary.

The Cascade Loop does not have definitive start and end locations. Many folks do the loop counter clock or anti-clock wise depending on where you live or stay (for non-locals).

As a bare minimum, its recommended by many that driving the Cascade Loop requires 2-full days and some of the hardcore outdoor lovers even do this loop in 4-5 days where they camp outdoors or stay in hotels along this route to sink in the true experience of this beautiful loop.

But, we IT workers don’t have the luxury so me and BHP’ian Crackhead planned this on a Friday evening and embarked on this 400 mile loop the next morning in his beautiful Porsche Boxter S.

North Cascades Loop

Here is a short summary of the key places that we touched when we drive this popular road-trip loop.

INDEX, WASHINGTON

This beautiful town is not too far from home. I normally head here post work to enjoy some beautiful sunsets and is also a haven for outdoor trails where we did a few hikes in the past.

STEVENS PASS GREENWAY, WASHINGTON

This place is about 50 miles from home and is one of the most gorgeous places in Washington. It’s a mountain/ghat road with huge mountains looming on one side and greenery on other side. This place becomes a winter fairy land from November to April as Stevens Pass gets just too much snow.

LEAVENWORTH, WASHINGTON

This city is 100 miles from Seattle and is touted as the “Best Christmas” town in entire America. We spent a weekend here last winters and it’s truly a fairy tale land in winters as everything in this town turns “WHITE” and Christmas festivities has to be experienced once in a lifetime for sure.

THE WENATCHEE VALLEY, WASHINGTON

Wenatchee Valley is famous for the popular term you may have heard “ Washington Apples”. Majority of the apples grown in the US are from Washington. This place also due to its fertile land is second largest wine growing area in Washington (Yakima Valley tops the list.)

Anecdote- Do you know the split of wine grown in US?

1. California produces 80% of the wine produced in US
2. Washington Produces 14% of the wine produced in US
3. Rest of the 48 states (Each and every state grow wine) constitutes of 6%

Crazy statistic…Huh??

LAKE CHELAN, WASHINGTON

Lake Chelan is the largest lake in Washington and is about 50 miles in total and is the 3rd deepest lake in US at 1500 feet depth falling behind Crater Lake in Oregon and Lake Tahoe in Colorado.

THE METHOW VALLEY, WASHINGTON

This entire area during winters is snow clad mountains and there are plenty of places for world's best cross-country skiing, hiking and mountain biking.

NORTH CASCADES NATIONAL PARK (JEWEL OF THE CASCADE LOOP)

This is the main section with 70+ miles of winding roads through tall fir trees and passing through two fabulous lakes- Lake Diablo and Lake Ross

SKAGIT VALLEY, WASHINGTON

We all know about the famous and never ending fields of tulips in Netherland. Well, we too have it here in the US but, not to extent of our European cousin.

Another interesting anecdote

Tulips are grown only in 3 areas in USA and I have lived and been to two of them.

1. Skagit Valley, Washington
2. Holland, Michigan
3. New Jersey (Don’t know the city name)

Been to #1 and #2 and Skagit Valley is just gorgeous as the tulip fields are nestled between mountains which adds to the overall charm.

WHIDBY ISLAND, WASHINGTON

We skipped this place as it entailed taking a ferry. This is just 30 miles from home and I am yet to visit. I didn’t know that it was part of this famous loop.

Re: 2 BHPians + Porsche Boxter S- Roadtrip of 400 Miles in 11 Hours doing the North Cascade Loop !!!

Lake Diablo-> North Cascades National Park

As the plan was to just drive, we kept driving on the route that we chose and wanted to stop for a few minutes at scenic locations that we encounter on the way.

When we we were approaching Lake Diablo where we stopped briefly, we could see the weather and air change considerably as we encountered "Forest Fires". It was an oversight from our end that we missed this piece of information. I was aware there was a forest fire going on but, it just slipped my mind.

For almost 20 miles, the air was thick with smoke, visibility dropped and our eyes were burning from the smoke. Forest Fires are a real hazard and mostly started by human beings than by nature.

More Details of this Fire :

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle...tinue-to-burn/

The good thing is that the loop was open but,when ever we stopped on this stretch, we were approached by forest patrol guys patrolling in trucks who approached us and asked us to continue and not stop for safety reasons.

We kept driving and stopped wherever it was possible to sink in the beautiful sights of this wonderful loop.

Lake Diablo. This is another beautiful lake in the mountains. We love going back to this place both during Winters and Summers.

Re: 2 BHPians + Porsche Boxter S- Roadtrip of 400 Miles in 11 Hours doing the North Cascade Loop !!!

Porsche Boxter is such an attractive looking car and a perfect poser against all these gorgeous backdrops especially in this shade.

Here is some "Mustard" for the eyes.

Crackhead and I enjoyed some delectable burgers for lunch. I liked the burger so much, I wanted a second round. Crackhead then drilled some sense into my senseless mind.

Re: 2 BHPians + Porsche Boxter S- Roadtrip of 400 Miles in 11 Hours doing the North Cascade Loop !!!

Lake Chelan, WA

Our next stop was going to be the beautiful and one of the most popular destinations in Washington - Lake Chelan.

Lake Chelan is a narrow, 50.5 mi (81.3 km) long lake in Chelan County, north-central Washington state.

It resembles a fjord, with an average width of 1.3 miles and with a maximum depth of 1500 feet this is the third deepest lake in USA, Behind Crater Lake in Oregon and Lake Tahoe in Colorado.

People from Washington and outside flock to this lake during summers as there are tons of activity around here and is popular for fishing, swimming, boating, cruising etc.

Lake Chelan is about 170 miles from Seattle and is on the east side and some homes by the lake command a price of $2.5 Million (and, they are not even new).

Anyways, we stopped in downtown to grab a bite and a drink. We enjoyed a lovely pepperoni pizza and then went to the Lake Chelan State park to enjoy some beautiful views of the lake from a few vantage points.

Re: 2 BHPians + Porsche Boxter S- Roadtrip of 400 Miles in 11 Hours doing the North Cascade Loop !!!

Leavenworth-> Stevens Pass-> Home

Leavenworth is roughly 100 miles (2 hours from home) and is a Bavarian town nestled in the mountains.

Leavenworth is popular and touted as the best Christmas town in entire US. Having been to the other Bavarian town, Frankenmueth, Michigan, I have to vehemently agree that there is no other place in US that can bring the Christmas feel or festivity with entire town covered in snow like Leavenworth does.

Here is a travelogue that I shared during our visit to enjoy the Christmas festivities in December 2022. :

https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/trave...ml#post5462181 (Leavenworth, WA - Visit in a BMW to the most X'massy Town in USA + Experiencing a snow blizzard)

We just drove past Leavenworth (It's like any other pretty town in summers but, becomes truly magical during winters) and entered STEVENS PASS which is about 50 miles from my home and a favorite location for us to just drive for half a day and enjoy some jaw dropping scenery during winters. I have been to STEVENS PASS so many times but, always looking forward to going back (especially during winters).

When we drove past STEVENS PASS it was just unbelievable that just 8-months ago in December 2022 we drove through this section and it was completely unrecognizable.

I drove my BMW through a "Snow Blizzard" in December for 50+ miles in the mountains with "zero visibility" with just a white blanket in front of my eyes. That was an experience I will cherish for rest of my life.

We made our way through more scenic locations to finally reach home at 7:00pm.

To celebrate the loop completion, Crackhead and I enjoyed some divine fluids and enjoyed a home-made dinner before he departed to his home calling it a close to this wonderful and enjoyable day.

P.S : Hope you liked the pictures and videos (taken from my iPhone 13Pro Max and iPhone 14 Promax). Peace till we meet next time.

Cheers

Wow, the car is just as beautiful as the scenery! Some of us can only dream of driving such beauties.
Looks like you had lots of fun. Wishing you many more happy miles
