GUESS WHEN THE PASS WILL OPEN AND WIN A NIGHT IN WINTHROP | GIVEAWAY CONTEST

CONTEST | YOU CAN WIN A FREE NIGHT IN WINTHROP IF YOU CORRECTLY GUESS WHEN THE HIGHWAY WILL OPEN.

Each winter Washington State Route 20 (the North Cascades Highway) closes for the winter, due to heavy snow accumulation and avalanche danger. This highway, built in 1972, is considered one of the most scenic drives in the Pacific Northwest. Each spring, when Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) announces the clearing of the highway, there is much anticipation for the opening date of this beautiful byway.

On April 5th, WSDOT announced they were clearing SR 20, indicating that the pass usually opens four to six weeks after the crew begins their dangerous work.
