Mountain Loop Highway
Scenic Drive in Granite Falls, WA
Mountain Loop Highway is always a beautiful drive. It will take you past many stunning views of the surrounding mountain ranges and to some very popular hikes such as Lake 22.
This road is closed through the winter months but most of the roads and trails are still accessible year-round. We were a little early, so the road was still closed, but we were able to walk down and enjoy it at a much slower, more relaxing pace.
Just after the Gothic Basin Trailhead, the road does turn into gravel, which has potholes and can get a little bumpy. If you plan on going past this point, I'd recommend having an SUV to make the drive more enjoyable.
