Washington Pass Overlook — Tuesday, May. 20, 2025

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20
Access road is gated. That first bend is a third of the way there!

The access road is gated. It's only a 1 mile walk to the overlook, plus any wandering you do on the small loop.  The road is snowfree as is most of the parking lot. There are a few patches of snow between the parking lot and the overlook.  The overlook is snowfree.

This Tuesday at 2 pm the number of cars varied between 2 and 5. There's room for perhaps 15-20 cars.  Two of the three toilets at the parking lot (1 mile in) were open and with TP.

Clouds came and went over the surrounding peaks, and there was some light snow (not accumulating) as I was leaving.

The overlook itself is snow free
Minor snow to/from the parking lot to the overlooks
