So with a week of unexpected warm dry weather after several days of rainy weather, James (jtvisions) and I headed off in search of the elusive fall foliage. Our destination was the North Cascades Highway. Getting there requires some riding along two-lane country roads that are a delight in their own right...and a chance to see the leaves turning.
Hwy 530 takes you by the site of the Oso landslide. https://www.slidememorial.com/about It's hard to get a feel for what happened by looking at the picture I took. It doesn't give a feel for having a huge portion of the mountain bury a town under 70 feet of debris.
This one off the Internet gives a better perspective.
Some other pics along the route.
This is on Hwy 20. I love the peaceful tranquilty of this valley with the sight of snow-covered mountains in the background.
Nearing Newhalem.
James is walking toward Diablo Lake dam that you can see between the trees.
