[QUOTE="AdamK, post: 1291421, member: 29576"] The west winter gate is at milepost 134, about 14 miles east of Newhalem. Every spring, Tootsie Clark, the matriarch of [URL="https://northcascades.com/"]Clark’s Skagit River Resort [/URL] (near Marblemount), drives her Cadillac up to the west-side closure gate near Diablo, opens the trunk and serves cinnamon (Tootsie!) rolls and coffee to those waiting in line for the gate to open. It’s a tradition she has been carrying on since the 1970s. I've never ridden up there on opening day, but it sounds like it might be a fun thing to do some day. Not sure the road would be in too good shape opening day. Probably still a lot of sand and such to watch out for. Tootsie's place is a great place to stop for breakfast! My wife and I totaled a '91 ST1100 on the North Cascades Highway in 2004. Some guy dumped transmission fluid in the road just below Washington pass.
