The mountains east of I5 and north of Seattle are accessed via
- US2 Stevens Pass, Lake Wenatchee and Leavenworth
- Mountain Loop Hwy - Granite Falls to Darrington; lots of hiking; full loop includes gravel forest service driving.
- WA20 - Baker Lake, North Cascades, Winthrop etc
- WA542 - north side Mt Baker
To the crest, most of this is in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. There are lots of hiking and scenic drive guides.
In Canada, Hwy 3 climbs into these mountains, with Manning Prov Park.
North of Whistler, you could continue on 99 to Lillooet, and loop back on Hwy 1, or 97 (BC and USA). Some Canadian roads may still have temporary repairs from flooding and washouts this winter.
