The Scenic Road Trip That Will Make You Fall In Love With The Beauty Of Washington All Over Again
We’re so lucky to live in such a geographically diverse state. Washington boasts everything from ocean beaches to rolling wheat fields, with plenty of mountain ranges and glacial lakes in between. And nothing makes us appreciate our diverse beauty more than a good old-fashioned scenic drive. The Evergreen State is a road trip lover’s paradise.
The Mountain Loop Highway is a drive that can easily be accomplished in a day, as long as you live a few hours from Darrington. This underrated stretch of highway will make you fall in love with this state all over again.


This is one of the best scenic drives in Washington. But because it's not easily accessible to most, it's extremely underrated.

It's actually a small portion of a loop, which is completed using State Routes 92, 9, and 530.

So many hiking trails, including the Big Four Ice Caves trail (pictured here), originate from this area.

What you’ll find instead is a plethora of lush green trees, and they only get more abundant if you leave the highway and decide to stretch your legs.

First settled in 1884, the town is known as being a gateway to some fantastic hikes.

It's even more beautiful in person.
