Heading to Seattle
A friend will be heading from Kansas City to Seattle after Christmas. She will be driving a motorhome with a Jeep toad. Can someone give some advice for this trip and the best route to take.
I live in eastern Washington and have been over those passes many times, even in winter. Interstates are the only reasonable route across the mountains in winter.
RayIN has good advice, especially on waiting for the weather. A day or two of clear sky let the highway departments work and truckers warm the road. "Mountains make their own weather" is a truism of the west. There are also some tight turns on the Montana side!
Speaking of big trucks, a good trick in bad weather is to get behind a steady one and stay there.
