Okanogan: SR 20 at MP 214.5: Loup Loup (Looking East)
Loup Loup Pass is best known in Washington for carrying State Route 20 between the Okanogan and Methow valleys. The roadway crosses forested high country on the eastern side of the Cascade Range, bending through conifer woodland rather than following the broad floor of either valley. The pass is an important overland connection between Okanogan and Methow Valley communities, linking north-central Washington’s interior with mountain country farther west. State Route 20 also forms part of the Cascade Loop, a self-guided driving itinerary through the Cascades, Methow Valley and Okanogan region. Loup Loup Pass gives this journey a distinctly upland character.

Okanogan straddles Salmon Creek near its confluence with the Okanogan River in north-central Washington, a setting that has made the town a long-standing service centre for the surrounding river valley. The broad Okanogan Valley is part of Washington’s dry interior, with irrigated farmland set between open hills and forested country farther west. As the seat of Okanogan County, the town has an important civic role, represented by the county courthouse near its centre. U.S. Route 97 also follows the valley through town, linking it with communities north and south. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Okanogan County and Washington.

Washington’s terrain runs from Pacific coastal lowlands in the west to the dry Columbia Plateau in the east, with the Cascade Range creating a marked climatic divide. Central Washington lies on the plateau side of the Cascades, where the Columbia River has cut broad valleys and irrigation supports orchards and vineyards. The state also includes Puget Sound, the intricate marine inlet around Seattle, and the volcanic cone of Mount Rainier. Seattle’s Space Needle, built for the 1962 World’s Fair, remains one of its most recognisable landmarks. Move on to other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around Washington.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
