- It was the opening weekend of SR 20, the famous highway that runs through the North Cascades National Park. Road crews of the Washington State Department of Transportation were able to clear the road earlier than anticipated this year which brought on our search of adventure. Follow along to see where this famous road lead us!

“How truly thankful I am to live here in Washington.” You got that right!!! Love it!!
👍🏼
@@ConquestOverland Where are you originally from? Great video!!
Should get a cinamatoghaphy award for beutifull clear video great views
Haha, I appreciate that! All learning to trial and error, thanks for watching!
One of favorite trips in Northwest Washington. Doesn't help that I live in Oak Harbor and have easy access to it.
I'm chuffed, good find, loving these vids. I am SOOOO into geology thanks to a teacher called Nick Zentner who works at CWU, and lives in Ellensburgh and streams on UA-cam. He is an excellent teacher and has opened up a whole new world to me called the Pacific Northwest. So now my one goal in life would be to come over and see for myself. I just can't comprehend what it must feel like to be there but things like your uploads definitely help, so thankyou. Much love and respect from the UK.
Nick on the rocks!
Thank you very much for the support! The Pacific Northwest offers truly unique and inspiring landscapes. When you visit (not if!) you'll absolutely love it, just be sure to have plenty of time scheduled to witness all the great spots. Even better is that here in Washington State we have three National Parks, this could provide some great application with your geology!
@@jasonmuir2925 Absolutely, and the rest...that chap has done SOOOO much. He's great!
Ok! Ok! I am a fan. Love the videos and the narration of information from the stops along the journey. Thank you for giving us that little bit of history. It makes a difference that I enjoy. Please, keep up the great work! See you out there! ~Joe
Haha much appreciated, thank you!! A lot more content heading to the channel this year, definitely stay tuned. Thanks for reaching out though, these are the points of motivation to keep us going! 👊🏼
Hart's pass 😍. There's a really great campground up there that sets you up to be close to Slate Peak for sunset
Kev B oh it’s on my list of returning back to! That area was way too beautiful not to return! Haha
@@ConquestOverland wait until you get to the top. Little plateau with a 360 view
Kev B dang.... can’t wait!! Thanks for the info, looking forward to it!
kb i will have to check that out
Great videos, Way better that they are local!. I need to visit this with snow! Looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.
It’s an incredible view when covered in snow, absolutely love it!
Thank you for the support! 👍🏼
Great vid! Heading out to Washington -June 1st from NY. Can’t wait-just gorgeous scenery!
Thank you! Right on, you'll absolutely love what WA has to offer for landscape. Coming at the perfect time weather wise too! 😉 👍
Very nice! Try adding a fly rod! 😀 Add fresh caught trout or salmon to the menu!
It’s even better backpacking up that area! Great video.
Oh I can only imagine, definitely on my list to do one day! Appreciate the support, thank you!
Amazing views! Great narration! Great video. We are in Winthrop today, heading over Hwy 20 to Anacortes. I found your video when I searched - looking for info on the road ahead. Thanks for the tips. We will definitely take time for Diablo Lake.
That’s awesome! Thank you very much for the support. Diablo Lake is simply stunning, definitely a must see when passing through that area. Have fun and safe travels!
Awesome video! I was just up there a couple weeks ago, love the North Cascades!
JG in HD it’s certainly is a great place to visit! Wish I could get up there more often. Thanks for watching!
leaving southern California, headed to eastern Washington. I've been watching your videos to get good insights on places to explore up there!
Right on, glad to help add to the list! WA has plenty to explore no matter which direction you head. Safe travels on your future endeavors!
So beautiful have a great day
Thank you so much, it’s definitely an incredible place to visit!
Methow Valley is the best! We are so blessed here in Washington with such great landscapes and all varying it is the best! I just did North Fork RD in the Snoqualmie and North Bend area this past weekend and it was great. Highly recommend it!
Couldn't agree more! The Pacific Northwest is simply incredible! I'll definitely check that place out on our next trip. There numerous areas within Snoqualmie that are on my to-see list!
Excellent video 👍
Lucky Ducky I appreciate it! Thank you!
planning a 3 day trip and although this is NOT gonna be on my route i did enjoy the video. make sure you always have plenty of adult beverages available to help you cope with the scares of the road 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍹🍸
Haha, agreed!! 🍻
Nice video, keep them coming 👍
Thank you very much! Should have a new one out by end of this week!
Love your videos brother. From California.
Seriously means a lot man, thank you! 👊🏼
Great video. Had a cabin in Mazama. I sure do miss it. Mazama my most favorite place in the world.
I can see why, such a beautiful area!
Love SR Hwy 20. Lots to see and do there
Agreed! 👍🏼
Great Vid! It kinds of makes me homesick, although I'm not from here... Keep up the great work! Greetings from Germany
Thank you for the support!
Agree you are making videos that should be in the 100ks.. great video.. little long but so worth the watch..
UHLIG FABRICATION really appreciate the kind words, thank you! This was one of my earlier videos and still learning to find the right “length” to what an episode should be. Think our weekend trips might be divided in two parts as we continue. Thank you joining along in our adventure though, cheers!
I love this...the whole take-it-easy exploration style
It would of been nice if you could later when there is less snow...but you said it yourself!
And great advice...I m subscribing
I definitely plan to get back out there this summer/ fall! Thank you for the support!
Great content man. I grew up in Seattle. Have not lived there for close to 15 years though. Thanks for taking me back to my spots! Keep it up!! #GoHawks
My pleasure, thank you for the support! Absolutely love the Pacific Northwest landscape, much more on the way as we head into our summer months again 😉 👍
Please lose the irritating redundant filler music. It detracts from your great video.
Great stuff! RT20 and Washington Pass are one of my favorite routes.
They are certainly amazing! I'd love to get further north on a routine basis but it's a bit difficult on a 48 hour weekend schedule... I'll get back there soon enough though!
@@ConquestOverland The only way to make it work is to head out mid day Friday at the latest or do a 3 day weekend.
Amazing 🙌 so bummed I missed this trip.
Korina K next time!
Korina, we missed you, it was a fun time!
Nice video and I like the music!
Thank you! 🙏
Nice video Michael, that was a fun trip!
Chazimio GFX thanks Charlie!! Can’t wait for the next!
@@ConquestOverland Me either, looking forward to it!
Nice beautiful views
Love visiting the North Cascades! 👍
13:06 Great shots of Hozomeen against the blue sky!
Thank you! Absolutely love that area, wish we could get out there more often!
Not Hozomeen. Liberty Bell Mountain on the right. Early Winter Spires on the left.
Great drive breathtaking views I’ve done this drive many times if you have a chance Do you have to do it or put it on your bucket list
Visiting site @11:57? I’ve gone to the north cascades, and have done a few treks up there. But never have I gone to that viewpoint! Great vid, man!
Thank you so much! It was a turnoff after you pass Diablo Lake heading east. Did not see a official sign as the snow covered so much, but after looking on the map I believe it's Washington Pass?
Good stuff. Great spot to camp and how can you not have some cheese burgers and beer at camp!!
Chris B oh trust me there are many of meals centered around the classics! Haha. Appreciate it though! 👊🏼
Amazing campsite! How did you handle that oncoming vehicle on the FS road? Amazing shots. Thank you.
Thank you! It can certainly get tricky with oncoming vehicles, usually one just moves to the side allowing the other to pass or in the worst case, backing up to a suitable and safe area to do so.
Awesome video! I'm just curious that how did you get to pass the incoming traffic on the trails like shown at 18:00 in the video?
Thank you very much! Good question to ask. Most of the trails are just wide enough to allow you to drive partial on the shoulder for another vehicle to pass. This isn't always the case though. Other times one will need to backup to the nearest and safest place to allow traffic by. This then depends on number of vehicles in convoy as well as right of way at the time. Can get a little tricker in some situations!
Great videos! What do you use to plan your routes or to find campsites?
Thank you so much!!
I generally use a mix between Google Maps and Gaia Maps with various overlays. Typically try and find public land with open forest roads and just go from there. Some are hits and some are misses, but you discover all new areas with each trip. I also even just search general known trails and see what else is nearby.
Google Earth is also your best friend with an overview of the landscape. But it just boils down to getting out and discovering by trial and error haha.
Have fun out there and safe travels 👊🏼
What road was the first one you guys tried to go up but turned around? Love the videos!
Thank you! It was Harts Pass, we simply came a bit too early in the season to tackle that one...
That’s a lot of snow
Yo this looks so sick. Your content quality looks amazing. We are planning to visit this Sunday, only question is ... are there any restrooms ? We plan to hit up Diablo Lake , Washington pass observation site, and a couple more vista points. Thank you!
Hey Fernando! Thank you so much for the kind words, really appreciate it! As for the facilities, there are several at the Diablo Lake lookout. In addition there are numerous campgrounds along highway 20 which you could stop at as well. Key is planning so you’ll be all set! Haha. Enjoy the views and have fun! 👊🏼
Conquest Overland thanks bro for the info. You know how it is traveling with girls haha. Looks like it will be a nice 78 degrees. Keep it up!
Fernando Gandara for sure and thank you again!

Awesome for the backwoods being a lady. And not leaving anything behind
@14:48 one of the things I dont miss about WA....But I so regret not taking the time to travel up north more.
brucehawk09 haha, definitely was a hard price to accept but all part of the adventure!
@@ConquestOverland for sure and a some what small price to pay but well worth the views. Have you ventured in the south west states yet?
brucehawk09 we actually had a trip planned to Utah about 3 weeks ago but unfortunately with everything going on had to cancel it. Hope to get back out there next year, just gives me more time to prep the rig for trails 😉👍🏼
@@ConquestOverland If you've never been before you wont be disappointed.
brucehawk09 never been, so definitely looking forward to it!
Can you please give me the name of the location where you shot the opening scene of this video? In the video you just mention it was visitor center but which one?
Do you have location coordinates for the site at around 5 min on that river camping?
May I ask where you were that you were able to camp next to the river?
It was along Methow River, just outside the National Park. Lot of great camping opportunities!
What is the weather like in mid September? We are planning a journey through those sacred Indigenous lands, from Saskatchewan, Canada.
Typically much cooler (mid to low 60s), more overcast, and higher chances of rain though the mountains around here often make their own weather forecasts so it can change at any moment 😉 👍
Hello, what date is this video filmed? And what do you think, is june good month for visiting North Cascades, Olympic NP and Mount Rainier NP? Thanks John/Slovakia
Roads will be clear but expect snow at higher passes until the middle of July in most years.
What song is playing at 2:10? Great video.
Take My Time by Ben Wagner (Midwestern Comfort)
Mt. Baker has the world record for snowfall like over and over. No place snows like Baker.
38snubby they are perfectly positioned for it! Love visiting there!
What water jerry cans are you using? Thanks.
Currently the Front Runner water jerry with the upgraded brass tap, best version I've used so far!
Seriously, more people need to know about your videos. I need to figure out a way to promote your channel more.
Cory Casarez haha I really appreciate it, means so much! We are slowly growing and building a wonderful community of people who enjoy the outdoors. What really makes the difference is having individuals such as yourself helping us grow even more! Thank you so much for joining along in our journey, more to come!
what is the view point at 13:00?
apiitg it was a visitor center passed Diablo Lake
