North Cascades Highway - current
I've posted a number of ride reports from this road over the years, and I know it has admirers who have ridden through Washington in the past. Here's a photo of the current conditions at Diablo Lake, Colonial Creek Campground. This is what 700 AQI looks like.

I had no idea the Pacific Northwest was being smoked out right now. Fire season is essentially on hold in Cali., thanks to some unusually early rain.

I was going to say that Newhalem hasn't changed, but that's not true, it burned heavily about five or ten years ago. Just starting to come back to life. The store is still there though.
