Have you ever gone so far into the mountains that you’ve lost cell reception? That you’ve paused outside your car, in a state of wonder in the midst of a wilderness? In the quiet of the foggy evergreens, you hear… nothing. By the river’s edge, the white noise washes the city from your mind and soul. From the fire lookout, the lights of civilization have perspective.
The Mountain Loop Highway is a real trip “out there”— a self-contained cycle, a circuit that takes you out to the wild woods before returning you to your urban origins. This is about as “far out” into the PNW wilderness as you can get on four wheels. A car camping dream spot. Expect to see breathtaking beauty.
