Marblemount on SR 20 (closed now for the winter, but should open in about 6 weeks), and just west of there- Diablo Lake. And going east on 20 through Okanogan and Ferry counties, cross the Columbia on WSDOT's only inland ferry, the San Poliel, in Keller, WA. It's free, and the scenery, especially on the east side of the river, is very nice. Dry Falls State Park, on SR 17 north of Soap Lake is an amazing example of Eastern WA geological history. US 12 over White Pass is absolutely spectacular for its high mountains and deep forested valleys. Enjoy your travels.

Actually, there are two; the other is the Inchelium/Gifford ferry that also crosses the Columbia River.

WSDOT operates that also?

I think the Colville Tribe does as the Inchelium landing is on tribal land. The other landing is near Gilbert which is on the Lake Roosevelt National Recreational Area. It may be a federal/tribal operation? The operators when we last took it were tribal members.

Aha! Thanks for the tip. I'm clearly not finished exploring up there. It might be funded by BIA. Very beautiful country up there (but then again, this whole state has a lot of amazing things to see!)
