Earliest opening yet - from the Washington State Department of Transportation:
May 14, 2015
Status: OPEN!!!
-
- The final 2.7 miles of SR 542 to Artist Point opened at about 4 p.m. Thursday, May 14. It's the earliest opening ever. In the event of a late season snowfall, the highway could close until conditions improve.
- Weather can change suddenly in the mountains. Drivers who visit Artist Point between now and the end of June should be prepared for winter driving conditions. Motorists should carry tire chains, food, water, warm clothes and blankets.
Very nice - Canada celebrates Victoria Day this Monday the 18th so we will be busy - perfect time for a nice drive to the top. It is gorgeous up there. We will be checking it out next week when it is less crowded. Bring the time-lapse equipment. Maybe even Beautiful Dreamer and spend the night while the time-lapse equipment is running.
