One day I got a postcard from friends who were up on the North Cascades Scenic Highway( Washington Route 20), showing the hairpin turn on Washington Pass. Looked very enticing. The Cascade Range of mountains offers some great riding as it runs the 700 miles from Lassen Volcanic National Park in California all the way to the North Cascades National Park and on into southern British Columbia. These mountains are really a long chain of occasionally active volcanoes. You have to wrap your mind around the fact that this little planet we are on consists
