Thru my windshield.

I went down Kicking Horse Pass today.
It's a very long and very steep mountain pass with a huge vertical drop.
Even after all the times I went up and down that pass, it's still impressive. Even if the top half of it is now a divided highway and fairly straight.
The bottom is the "old" section and still 2 lanes and lots of slow speed and tight curves.

I guess Glacier Park is a good place to see a glacier.






Always amaze me where trees can grow.


Back in February.

Same place, in July.




Lots of snow on top. But the road at the bottom is about 100 feet above sea-level.


Can you see Mt Baker in this pic?

In 1 day, I saw Mt Baker, Mt Rainer, Mt St-Helens and Mt Hood.
Crappy camera couldn't take 1 decent picture.


Sweet car in WA.


I wonder if the "Crab Pot" is still on the pier by Ripley's. Best sea-food I've had at a restaurant.


One half decent pic of Mt Hood I got this morning in Troutdale.


I was surprised to see a river boat on the Columbia. In my mind, those boats were only on the Mississippi.


How embarrassing, I got passed by a VW Van.

In my defense, the road was going slightly uphill and the Oregon speed limit for trucks is 55.

My day is done.


Good nite.

 

I'm a little jealous
