Seattle to Cle Elum

Drive Time: 1 hour, 25 minutes | Distance: 84 miles​

This moderately-scenic drive is best done with a short detour to Snoqualmie Falls, and the nearby town of North Bend. Both locations were made famous by Twin Peaks: Snoqualmie Falls was the viewpoint used for its opening credits, and North Bend is home to the Twede Café (known in the show as the Double R Diner, and the place to go for some cherry pie and ‘damn fine cup of coffee’.

Located in the Cascade Mountains, it’s also just 15 minutes from Roslyn, where hit show ‘Northern Exposure’ was filmed.​​

Today you will drive to Yellowstone, the second best national park in the USA. We prefer taking Highway 287 (known as the Backroad to Yellowstone) because it gets you off the freeway sooner. Stop and relax at Norris Hot Springs, visit the authentic cowboy town of Ennis, and then enjoy one of the most scenic drives in America: the Madison Valley to the west and Big Sky country and all its glory to the east.

Yellowstone National Park

With its dramatic peaks and pristine lakes, Yellowstone is an outdoor enthusiast's paradise, where multi-coloured pools swirl around hot springs, verdant forests weave past expansive meadows, and volatile geysers launch streams of steaming water toward the sky. There's no doubt whatsoever that the park is extraordinary, and while you traverse the park's 3000-plus square miles of mountains, canyons, geysers and waterfalls, be prepared to share the trails with its more permanent residents, like buffalo, elk and sometimes even grizzlies.​​
