Hi all, I just found out that Washington Pass overlook is going to be closed when we're visiting, due to repaving. The road leading to the parking lot/overlook trail will be completely closed from Aug 25-31. Is it worth it to still drive out and look from the "Washington Pass Scenic View Point" directly on SR20, or should we just skip going out this far? We only have one day in N Cascades, coming from Seattle. Any alternate viewing point to see similar? Thanks in advance!

Edited to add: looks like Rainy Pass area including road leading to/parking/picnic area for Rainy Lake & Maple Pass trails is also closed the entire time (Aug 24-31)

Looking to swap by mail (USPS). Only halfway done with album, so I still need a lot.

If you need at least 8-10 from below, please DM me a list of your duplicates! Here's mine (all white borders):

MEX13, KOR12, SUI15, MAR2, SCO15, ECU17, SWE18, EGY16, URU1, URU10, FRA2, NOR8, AUT4, POR14, UZB19, CRO12, CRO13, CRO16, CC-US6, CC-US7, CC-US9

During our 3 days scheduled in Olympic (Aug 21-23), we aren’t going to be very lucky with low tide times or levels. I recently learned about Salt Creek area tide pooling, which we could in theory do on the morning of Aug 23 when we’ll be staying at Lake Crescent lodge. Low tide that day is predicted 0.13ft at 5:32am, and sunrise is 6:19am.

I know negative numbers are best for tide pooling, but unfortunately there won’t be any while we are there. Low tide levels at kalaloch, ruby beach, etc are predicted to be even higher.

So, for those that have experience: 1) will it still be too dark to tide pool around 5:45-6am?, 2) will the tide be low enough at under 1/2 ft in this area to tide pool?

Thanks in advance!
