Motorcycle ride on Washington State Mountain Loop Highway, the southern route 2023-08-06
Rode on the Mountain Loop Highway, is an old wagon road that was partially paved in 1936. This ride took me on the southern portion of the paved road right up to the section (Barlow Pass) where the unpaved part starts. The part of the highway that goes almost directly north from where I stopped is gravel road / one lane for 14 miles. Bing Maps has a streetside view of the northern part of the road where the road turns from two lane to one and starts getting rougher heading south. Maybe one day I will go south from Darrington & see how far I can get on this part of the road.
For this ride the views are very nice. The traffic on the road was fairly light for a Sunday. This is a picture looking where the unpaved road starts, this is near the Barlow Pass Trailhead:
