Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Just curious if anyone has driven a big rig over White Pass in WA?  Yakima to Centralia?

 

Thanks

Dave

Yes. Not a problem. It is a major east-west road. As with all passes take your time.

We have traveled it many times, most recently in June with our 40' motorhome and tow car. The only pass to avoid with a big rig is Chinook Pass through Mount Rainier National Park. North Cascades, Stevens, Snoqualmie and White Passes are all reasonable for big rigs.

I can vouch for Snoqualmie even when it is snowing on qualmie... Hmmm. I was about 79500 pounds so I had plenty of traction.

Actually, Yakima to Centralia is a breeze, you have a very easy climb and once over the pass, the descent isn't bad at all. A couple of tight turns, but again, just take your time and enjoy the beauty of the Cascade Mountains.

Agreed that White Pass is not an issue, just check the weather forecast / road conditions if you're heading over it soon. Seems like the Pacific NW is heading for an early winter this year. I don't recall the exact dates, you can find them on the WSDOT site, but for about 5 months of the year chains are required to be carried for all vehicles crossing the passes, even if it's a day when the roads are clear. I think it starts in October, but I'm not sure of the exact date.
