More photos from the North Cascades on November 19. I left North Cascades National Park and continued east on the North Cascades Scenic Highway into Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.

As I drove, I got closer and closer to the fresh snow that had fallen overnight.

My drive took me over two mountain passes. This is Rainy Pass, elevation 4875 ft. According to the car, the temperature at Rainy Pass was 33F. Despite the snow from the previous night, the road was clean and dry so I wasn't worried about it. Washington is definitely not Pennsylvania. They know how to make roads passable after snow falls.

That's enough for now. I'll save Washington Pass for my next post.
