320 miles round-trip, 6000ft elevation change and temperatures ranging from 31° to 76°, all within the national park. Next stop will either be Hurricane Ridge, Hoh rainforest or Deception Pass

the road up to Hurricane Ridge is super fun if you’ve never done that before

Off topic: Is your rear lip falling off?

Kinja'd!!!

Mountain drifting/mild offroading has torn both lips off a few times. I attached the front lip with magnet so it comes off easy, the rear lip is still ziptied at either end. Once those break I’ll do it up with magnets too

Yes it is excellent. I’ve only done it by motorcycle though.

We needed your red NA to add a little PIZZAZZ to our team.

Did you go up to Sunrise?

I made a similar drive with a MB group a few years ago, took the old car, the old dear didn’t miss a beat although it was 90F+ at lower elevations. A long trip for the car, and I was pleased with the performance. My favorite pic, behind a friend’s W123 with a lenticular cloud on the mountain:

That’s one place we didn’t make it. Actually ended up turning around because the line was so line to get on the road. Next time though. I’d love to get closer to the main peak

Yep you gotta go early, I remember Sunrise was packed by noon or so then, too.
