Thought I'd better get this posted before another month goes by and we have another trip to chronicle!
First week of May - Snow on Snoqualmie Pass (Washington) - ski run on the right. On the left the dirty snow is still piled very high along the side of the road. This is about an hour east of Kirkland.
Just after Snoqualmie Pass & before Indian John Hill
Since this whole area is new to us, we read most of the road side markers.
Idaho history (I-90)
Between Kirkland and Missoula, Montana you see a great variety of topography - lots of mountains, some with snow, some with trees, some with neither.
Montana mountains - above and below
The discovery of gold and other ores shaped the history of the area
After our visit with Patrick, we went back to Missoula, Montana through Chief Joseph's Pass (crossing the continental divide). It's much more scenic than the route we took on the way to see Patrick in Polaris, Montana.
Trapper Peak
Then we visited with David - read about that here.
I-90 takes you all the way to Bellevue, Washington.
Get on I-90 in Missoula, head west and turn in 461 miles!
Idaho history
We stopped in Wallace, Idaho. Read about it here.
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho area is beautiful
Near Ellensburg, Washington
Getting close to home - Cascade Mountains about an hour east of Kirkland
Getting closer - the Seattle Temple, Bellevue, Washington
Bellevue's skyline - almost home - We live about 10 minutes north of here
