We had some gorgeous weather, so I did a ride from the Mountain Loop to the North Cascades "highways." Saw lots of blue sky, lots of wild and scenic rivers, and of course lots of snow-capped mountains. I can't really think of a better way to have spent the day.

This is a ride I've been wanting to do for a couple years, and its time finally came.

Very pretty.

Very nice. I love living in Washington. Such a beautiful state.......... Wait, no, I mean, it sucks here. It rains all the time. You don't want to move here.

Oh, man...you just made me homesick...Nice pics. I may have to take my bike with me next time I go home on leave

Awesome; thanks for sharing...

Gorgeous shots. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful. Perfect temperatures too.

That is a great area up there. Spent a lot of my childhood summers up there camping and hiking. Floating down the river on inner tubes. I do not know if there is still alot of logging trucks on them roads but probably less scary than in the city. Great pics by the way.

No logging trucks, but a big mill outside Darrington. There was surprisingly little traffic, I might have seen 15 or 20 cars all day.

It was a lot of fun.

Was not sure its been some time since I have been up in that area, now that I think of it about 15 years anyway. Time flies by anymore. Think I may have to go do a ride up there soon.
