Highway History

Washington- The craggy face of Mt. Stewart, masked by winter snows, is just one delightful sample of the scenic vistas opened to motorist upon completion of the I-90 link between Cle Elum and Ellensburg. The 4-lane Freeway climbs gracefully to more than 2,000 feet, sweeping through evergreen-studded elk territory. Two rest areas are planned, one for each direction of travel, at a point chosen for its panoramic mountain view.
