North Cascades Highway Reopens June 19

State Route 20, the scenic North Cascades Highway, is set to fully reopen on Friday, June 19, 2026 — a week earlier than originally projected and the latest reopening in its history. After being closed since December due to flooding and a March rockslide, crews have been working nonstop to repave the 20-mile stretch between Diablo Lake and Porcupine Creek, with lane striping pending dry weather. While the main road won’t be fully open until June 19, popular spots like Diablo Lake View Point and Ross Dam Trailhead are already accessible — just expect more construction activity. For fans of the Cascades, this is a major win after a long wait. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
