A celebration of our history and love for Americana... the Snoqualmie Pass on a 1948 Harley-Davidson Panhead!
The Snoqualmie Pass was first mentioned by the Native Americans to Capt. George B. McClellan in September 1853, while he was surveying for a route across the Cascades. He was guided across at Yakima Pass (from the east, and after a short distance turned back), he was told that Snoqualmie Pass, was "seldom used" and "practicable on foot with the greatest difficulty". Every route he explored over the mountains, he declared unpassable... several of which were later travelled successfully.
