Chinook Scenic Byway

Gorgeous snow-capped Mount Rainier towers over the Byway and surrounding valley along the Chinook Scenic Byway. Glacier-fed rivers flow through wildflower-covered plains. Traveling through the beautiful Wenatchee National Forest will be full of chances to take in the outdoor air and experience nature. The views are awe-inspiring in the spring and summer when the Cascade Mountains come alive with lush vegetation. Working its way through scenic Mt.
