Yesterday, the Mountain Loop Scenic Highway re-opened. In 2003, sections
of the beautiful 50 mile loop road linking Darrington and Granite Falls
were washed out by torrential downpours. We decided to start off at
the most northern end, Darrington.
I have never seen so many cars on
the Mountain Loop Highway before. Most were going the other way. For
17 miles it is a single-lane dirt road, so there was lots of pulling
over and squeezing by. I guess we weren't the only ones who missed The
Loop. ;-)
