Washington Pass Overlook
Washington Pass
A viewpoint near the highest point on Highway 20, facing the granite spires of Liberty Bell Mountain and the sweeping hairpin turns of the road
Washington Pass sits at about 1,669 meters. The viewpoint is at the end of a short spur off the road. A paved path takes only a few minutes to reach the cliff edge. It faces the jagged Liberty Bell Mountain and the Early Winters Spires, and below lies the famous hairpin bend of Highway 20. In late autumn, the larches on the slopes turn golden. This is also the starting point for climbers ascending Liberty Bell. The viewpoint has restrooms, and it closes in winter together with the road.
