Winding its way east from I-5 through farmland, old growth forests and one of the state’s prettiest alpine passes, White Pass Scenic Byway (US Hwy. 12) runs between Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens. This makes it an ideal route for wanderlust-filled wayfarers hoping to spend a week or two exploring the state’s two biggest volcanic attractions and the vast stretches of wilderness areas that span between them.
