In July, we crossed in from Canada at Metaline Falls and took 20 from Tiger all the way across to Port Angeles...start of a beautiful trip. Followed the coast down to Eureka, then came back thru OR, ID & MT, crossing again at Eureka.
Never came near any major cities the whole route; was two weeks of casual 2 lane cruising bliss. You have great roads, populated by great people. Already planning next years trip, back thru WA & OR.
Wanted to get up there all summer but the fires made it too smokey for me and the other old farts I ride with. Probably a month before it starts snowing so I still may make it.
I got lucky and rode it about 2 weeks before the fires started. Then across the Port Townsend ferry, around the peninsula and back across White Pass (Hwy 12). It was a great ride.
