Is the North Cascades Scenic Highway (Route 20) a suitable road for towing a 34-ft fifth wheel? We want to travel it next July going from east to west. We are planning to camp in Winthrop first, then travel west, then north to camp within reach of Mt. Baker Highway. We welcome any suggestions or recommendations. Thanks.
We've done this trip a few times. In Winthrop you'll want Peregrin State Park, absolutely gorgeous. It has two sections, the second driveway is the nice one. Look it up on their website, it'll make sense. We have also stayed at Silver Lake very near Mt Baker, I've never seen so much rain in my life! It was a very steep driveway but a nice campsite, only stayed two nights and it was a torrential downpour the entire time!
Have fun, it's a beautiful drive
(Both of the times we did this trip was the week after the Canadian Victoria Day, the road was just open and still lots of snow on the sides, some of the lookouts weren't open due to the snow)
