Thursday we headed toward Northern Cascade Loop Hwy 20 at Concrete,
Saw this along the way near Darrington.

This Cafe had really good food at Darrington, a small logging town.

We went up to Baker Lake / Baker Mountain before heading to motel in Concrete.

Old Downtown Concrete & nice motel just down Hwy 20 we stayed in.

Friday we saw some awesome lakes and rugged mountain ranges
this one is Diablo Lake.

This is Ross Lake which starts in Canada and ends up into Skagit River, 23 miles long.

Next 4 pics, Hwy 20 was just opened two days earlier in this area.

What the same place looks like in late summer when my wife and I were there!

Made friends with this horse just before Winthrop.

We finished the Northern Cascade Loop at the old Western town, Winthrop
and ate at this really good Mexican Grill & Cantina.

Then we headed home along Columbia River to Hwy 97,
then I-90 back home, 475 miles trip!

Two maps, one is the full loop trip 474 miles
The other the best part of Cascade loop map.

Saturday, May 20th, Dan flew back to Edmonton, Alberta.
