fastest route to Skaha?

[glacier]

What's the fastest route to the BC desert from Seattle? I've always gone 2 to 97 north, but I remember someone offering up an alternate route that shaved time off. Couldn't find it with my lame search skills.

 

Thanks.

Now that WA Pass is open, another alternative would be to go that way via Arlington-Darrington-Marblemount then stay on 20 over Loup Loup Pass into Okanogan, then north on 97 to Penticton.

 

I'm not sure if that would be faster, but really the only viable alternative route, as going north to Vancouver and over would definitly not be faster.

I90 is much faster than hwy2 depending on departure time.

Now you're talking fastest way to 11worth. That's a whole other question. Which, you're right, depends on departure time and departure place. From the east side its probably definitly faster.

Actually, now that I think about it, YOU CAN'T GET THERE FROM HERE.

I90 over to Blewett and north from Wenatchee is a bit over 5 hours.

 

There's some method that utilizes a courtship with Camas I believe at the us/canada border, then towards Hope bc, and then 3 to 3a. You don't go to vancouver at all, but bust northeast around bellingham. I think it might be a bit faster.

Just make sure you climb Not Fade Away at the Wave, Motel of Lost Companions at Great White, and Salvation at the Doctor's Wall.

It's 3.5 hours from Chilliwack to Skaha and 1 hour from bellingham to Chilliwack. You mean Sumas not Camas. and the fastest route to Skaha is the one having the most fun.
