Super quiet roads with fantastic views of mountains and the Skykomish river. This is one of the nicest rides in the area.

# Notes

* Spring through fall is the best time for this route. The locals tell me summer weekends the roads can get busy.

* Recommend lunch in Index on the way back from the end.
