Tyee Trail Travel Tour, White Pass Washington State Area—

Almost a secret to those that cross the Cascade Mountains via the Interstate over Snoqualmie Pass, this summertime-is-best route is so beautiful I almost hate to suggest that visitors from the Seattle area could access the Tyee Trail via 410 to Mt. Rainier National Park, then the Gifford Pinchot Forest roads to Mt. St. Helens backdoor, and Vancouver, which would be one way to avoid the bustle of the I-5 corridor.
