Roadtrippers tend to be adventurers--folks who want to get out and explore, see new things and have adventures that they cherish for a lifetime. In order to make that happen though, particularly when you're planning to cover some serious ground, you gotta do some planning and get those nuts and bolts all dialed in ahead of time.
In order to hit the road, you gotta get there first right? For folks flying in from out-of-state or out-of-country, you'll need to start by making arrangements to fly in to either Sea-Tac International Airport, just a hop, skip and a jump from the Cascade Loop, or fly into a regional airport such as Pangborn Memorial Airport (Alaska Airlines only) near Wenatchee, or Paine Field Passenger Terminal in Everett, serving communities located along the byway corridor north of Seattle. Bellingham International Airport is about 100 miles north, not far from the border with Canada.
Whether you're driving your own car or renting one for the trip, there are a few things you'll want to note to truly have a worry and hassle-free experience.
RVing can be a great way to experience the Cascade Loop. Fresh air and views are abundant in the many campgrounds along your journey. How much you ‘rough it’ is directly dependent upon how much planning and prepping you do, so take control early on.
