Over Stevens Pass on US 2 and Yellowstone Trail, down Moses Coulee and more

Yesterday, Sarah, Cole and I hoped in the car and took a 450 mile trip to some of the most beautiful country I’ve ever seen. We went from Seattle, over the Cascades, over the Columbia and to the desert, seeing the ancient riverbeds known as Coulees.

We explored old sections of the Yellowstone Trail and other roads, making me fall completely in love with the state of Washington.

I rode much of yesterday’s trip on the beginning of the last leg of Scoot 66. Oddly, I remember very, very little of it.

The day was packed full (too full) of fun and I didn’t get a chance to check out everything I wanted to. Also, right when we stumbled up Frenchman’s Coulee (very literally, some of the most beautiful land I’ve ever seen), the battery on my camera died a horrible death. I nearly did the same. It was a real bummer.

Here are my pictures and a much more detailed description of the day.
You can start at the beginning and read along!

Coulee is real fun to say.
We’ll be heading back to Frenchman’s Coulee real soon. You’re more than welcome to go, but not sure how you’d swing it – worth a shot. It’s freaking amazing.

It is, yep. I guess. Like kuli. Though I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say it. Hm. But I think I’m right. Just dont know why.
