I need some travel advice from some of you guys up in the Pacific Northwest. In a couple of weeks I'll be traveling from Flagstaff, AZ to Vancouver, B.C. with a boat in tow and was wondering if anyone has any advice on the best route over or around the Cascades?
I have two main route options,
1) Head north up through Salt Lake, Boise and over the Cascades to Seattle.
2) Head west to CA and jump on I-5, taking I-5 all the way up to Seattle.
Option #1 is the shortest route but I'm worried about road conditions on some of the mountain passes in early April. I also don't really know what to expect if I just head up I-5. I've been up as far as Redding, CA., but have never been any further north into Oregon or Washington.
