The 3-Hour Road Trip Around The Mount Baker Scenic Byway Is A Glorious Spring Adventure In Washington
March lasted for approximately six months this year, while we seem to have lost the entire month of April. The good news is, there’s still plenty of spring left here in Washington… and the better news is, our beautiful state parks and attractions are slowly starting to reopen. Taking a nice day trip is a great way to enjoy a change of scenery without worrying about crowds. And if you live near the Mount Baker Highway, you should take advantage of that underrated stretch of terrain.
