Chinook Pass (Rt 410) - By looseknot

This is a fantastic ride when done during a weekday. So few cars and nothing but open road. I turned off to go to Paradise instead of going east. 410 is slightly ruff in spots out of Enumclaw for about 8 miles and then smooth as silk.. Nothing but trees hugging the road and great views after that. Bring something to eat and drink so when you stop at the many vista views you can quench your thirst and drown your appetite. This is world class riding folks! Head back down the mountain thru Elbe or take skate creek to Packwood. There are endless roads to discover as you enjoy a uncrowded ride that is sure to be on the top of your list of places to go back.
