Highway 2 continued the nice easy gradient right up to road marker post 55 when things got a little more serious. Stopped at Deception Falls on Deception Creek for a look and some photos.
Reached patchy snow and then got above the snow line. Stevens Pass at 4061 feet was reached just before 1 o'clock. Another couple of photos.
Got on the warm clothes for the descent. Stopped at the '59er' diner for lunch. Spaghetti for 5 dollars and 2nds for 2 dollars. You guessed it, I had 2nds. Absolute bargain.
Reached Leavenworth, mid afternoon. This is a themed Alpine town with the Cascades on the door step. I'd obviously now reached orchard country. Lots of cherry trees. Booked into Wenatchee Confluence State Park later than I'd prefer. Had a nice chat to Jose Velazquez (Park Ranger) who provided some useful information and advice. Jose, "Thank you".
