Even though it was another cold November Saturday, the sun was out in full force making it a Gorgeous Sunny but Chilly Day and in true form we decided not to stay indoors and once again jumped in the car for a mini road trip. This time we were heading out to explore the North Cascades.
Thousands of Icicles hang from the Rock face.
We left the house around 9:30 a.m. and the temperature was a brisk 42 degrees. We got on Highway 20 and headed east, by the time we reached the little town of Concrete the temperature dropped down to the mid 30s and the further we drove the more the temps dropped. Even though we were all warm and toasty sitting inside the car, it was evident enough, as we looked out the windows that it was freezing cold on the outside.
We made a couple of stops to admire the views and scenery but did not stay out to long cause it didn’t matter how much layers we had on, the wind was piercing through our clothing and boy it was cold!
But of course, I just had to break out my phone and take as much pictures as I could before my battery died.
As we made it up to Washington pass, we had reached an elevation of 5477 ft and we were happy to see that the pass had not been closed off yet for the winter, so we were able to continue with our drive and came across so many ice formations, it was definitely a sight to see.
All the ice formations were so cool to see and when I got a chance to touch them, I was blown away that it was not cold like the common refrigerator ice but it was warmer and so very slick.
We wanted to head further down the pass but with the sun getting ready to set, the roads already slick with some parts iced over, we decided to play it safe. So we turned around and headed back home.
I am not a fan of the cold and I do not at all like the winter season but after spending some time out here, I am kind of looking forward to making another trip out to do more exploring 😉
