Steven Hockstein Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 We are going to be traveling across the country on a road trip across the northern route (90). Looking for some suggestions about must see places. We are taking a two week drive and then flying home from San Francisco. Definitely stopping in Portland and Seattle on the way.

RK52 Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I-90 through the Cascades offers lots of scenic views. Up at the crest is a ski area near a lake. I can't remember the name of it, (it might be "Summit") but the view is nice. The mountains get more steep-sided as you proceed west from the summit. If you can, take your time. There are small town and shops to explore, if you are into that. (I love to wander about....) There is a town a little ways above I-90 called "Leavenworth." Look it up. I haven't been there personally, but three of my daughters have and they loved it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Let me know when you'll be in Portland and we can meet up somewhere. What time of year? I suggest that, after Portland, you head west, see the Oregon wine country, and head for the coast. Take highway 101 into California. It's a much more interesting drive than I-5. Perhaps cut back east on 128 and go through Napa before heading into San Francisco. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 There is an awesome car museum in Auburn, Indiana. About the only thing to keep you awake on that stretch of 90. Get off the interstate any chance you get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
