Washington Mountain Passes
Stevens Pass
Stevens Pass, Connection through Cascade Mountains
Stevens Pass, elevation 4,061 feet, on US Highway 2, is one of two east-west highways with mountain passes open year-round in Washington State. The other is I-90, to the south, which crosses Snoqualmie Pass.
The Pass, located on a section of US Highway 2, is designated as both a National Scenic Byway and a Greenway. The 105-mile Stevens Pass scenic byway winds through the rugged, forested Cascade Mountains and runs beside the wild and scenic Skykomish and Wenatchee rivers along most of its length. While the pass is open year round, travelers are advised to carry tire chains and monitor weather conditions during snow season.
Stevens Pass Recreation
Year-round recreation opportunities include white-water rafting, hiking, downhill skiing and snowboarding, biking, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, rock climbing, and auto touring. Stevens Pass Ski Area, located at the apex of the pass, offers seasonal skiing and accommodations. Equipment rentals are available. Be sure to check up-to-date snow reports from Stevens Pass Ski Area to review conditions. See links below for hiking opportunities along the pass.
