Chinook Pass


The way to the top of Chinook Pass (5,430 feet) is designated an All American Road. It was historically used as a trading route over the Cascade Mountains. On our drive up the temperature dropped from the high 80s to the high 40s! We hadn't felt anything that cold for months, and there was snow at the top of the pass. We came back down a bit and did a geocaching hike to a waterfall a few miles above the mouth of Menatchee Creek. It was a great hike that included having to cross the creek over a fallen log.
