The Cascade Loop Scenic Byway is a 440-mile-long (710 km) Washington State Scenic and Recreational Highway encircling the North Cascades in the U.S. state of Washington that follows eight different highways:[1][2]

History

From 2012 to 2015, the Washington State Department of Transportation and Plug-In North Central Washington built 32 charging stations at popular destinations along the Cascade Loop, spaced 25 to 50 miles (40 to 80 km) apart, to serve electric vehicles.[3][4]
