Washington Trip Report part 43 - the beginning of the end

[kknight]

November 20 was my final day in Washington. It was a bright sunny day. This was the view from my hotel room not long before I left.




Heading east from Wenatchee the road went up and up and up some more. I stopped and took a few photos looking back at the city.

I went north on Route 2. The scenery was very, very different from what I saw 24 hours earlier.









This spot had a nursery along the side of the road with some colorful trees.







The road went alongside the Columbia River for a while




There were roadside orchards










The houses along the river look really tiny in this photo




Now the road has turned away from the river and I'm heading uphill again....
















The hillsides weren't totally treeless






After this I drove through a lot of cropland, which I'll get to in my next post.
