Mountain Loop Highway
The Mountain Loop Highway is about as “far out” into the PNW wilderness as you can get on four wheels…
Getting Here
Nestled in the foothills of the North Cascades, about 40 minutes from Seattle and just 30 minutes from Seattle Paine Field International Airport, Granite Falls is the gateway to the legendary Mountain Loop and is the perfect homebase for your mountain adventures.
