[QUOTE="huckstr, post: 1003959, member: 1309"] It turns out that the road was closed at Cascade Peaks Wayside because of a "Culvert Repair", to aid in fish migration, further up the road. Apparently it is done, and it is open again to the end of the road for those (Perhaps including me) that want to get up there before the snow flies. Even the amazingly beautiful and varied scenery of the PNW, there are few places as dramatic and interesting, and fun to ride, as this series of roads. I have tried to ride it every year since the mountain blew it's top. Even after years of regrowth, it is still a shocking moment as one rides up the mountain to come out of the dense forest, and round the corner suddenly into the devastated area. Because the roads are so much fun, and scenery is so amazing on this side of the mountain, we tend to ride it often. However, the other side of the mountain is interesting as well, and has visiter centers with much more historical information on the eruption itself and the ecology of the regrowth of flora, and the return of the fauna. It is well worth the ride up there just to see the films of the eruption that are shown at the visitor center and the views from Observatory ridge. [/QUOTE]
