Just got back from Chuckanut. I have to say I was not impressed. You have to drive too far to get to just a few minutes of twisties. And you have to drive 50 - 60 MPH in a 70 behind idiots in the FAST lane to get there!
I've had more thrills driving around Mercer and that's not saying much.

I called Francis when I got there but no answer; I got there a lot later than he did I'm sure.

Yea, driving from Seattle wouldn't be worth it, but it is amazing if you are only like 10 minutes away.

Sorry about the no answer joe I was about halfway home with the top down and didn't see your call. I admit it wasn't the coolest drive curvywise but it is pretty senic and on a good day is great for pictures. I know a few roads that would leave you very satisfied. But another drive for another day.

The roads going to baker are alot better than chuckanut However there are some curves without guardrails, then the road narrows when you get halfway up.

way better than chuckanut as there is never any traffic and speed signs for turns are posted well!
there's just no scenic water view!

agreed. It was just crap that when I did finally have the chance to drive it I was stuck behind a uhaul (a friend of mine) while driving a g6 rental. Next time I'm going to make damn sure I'm in the S
