This Snowy Barrier Is A Familiar Sight Some Winters In Wenatchee

Mark — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:12:54 +0000

If you’ve driven through Wenatchee lately you no doubt noticed the long ridge line of snow going down the middle of the road. The snow has got to go somewhere, right? While some cities plow to the side and then leave it up to local residents and businesses to decide how to get rid of the fluffy white stuff, Wenatchee has a tradition of crafting a frozen barrier between lanes instead. It can make making a left turn a little tough and can also make for some fun to watch driving strategies be put on display too.

Video: Scenes From Old Blewett Highway

Mark — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 14:50:03 +0000

From a recent trip across Old Blewett Highway. This is a great little diversion to take if you have the time while crossing Blewett Pass. It goes over the mountains at a higher altitude and offers some amazing views of the surrounding forest. The entire trip is about 11 miles or so, but the going is a lot slower than down on the new highway.
