Scenery
Lots of open farmland through beautiful forests, alongside the Snohomish River and eventually through the Paradise Valley Conservation Area.
Drive Enjoyment
Almost constant twisties in many places, and long sweeping curves in most other sections. Road quality is good and generally very few other vehicles on the first half of the ride. Not a lot of stretches for big speed pulls, though.
*Note* Just after a horse ranch on your left, before you really start getting into the woods, there is a very sharp, blind corner that frequently has gravel spilled onto the road. Take this very slowly.
Tourism Opportunities
Very sparse tourism on this ride, other than the famous Maltby Cafe toward the end of it. If you've never been there, this is one of the states true hidden gems for breakfast cafes. You could also detour from the ride towards Duvall and head south to see the Snoqualmie Falls.
