The Okanogan
Scenic Byway Loop
The Okanogan
Scenic Byway Loop begins in Twisp, goes over Loup
Loup Pass
to Okanogan then north up toe Okanogan
River Valley
thru Omak to Tonasket. From Tonasket it
heads east over Wauconda Pass in the Collville National Forest
to Republic. The loop continues east
through the Collville National Forest to Lake Roosevelt,
the lake behind Grand Coulee Dam. The
loop continues east to Kettle
Falls and then
Collville. Highway-20 then heads east
through the Colville National Fores to the west bank of the Pend Orielle
River. The loop continues south up the river to
the town of Newport on the Idaho
/ Washington State line. Our loop then heads southwest to Spokane on
US-2 then follows US-2 west through Davenport, Wilbur, Coulee City,
Waterville and then to Wenatchee, the loops southern portal.
This loop can
be driven easily in two days but we would suggest 3 or 4 days or more are
appropriate. This loop can be combined
with the North Cascades Scenic Byway Loop to give you a feel of the northern
tier of Washington
State.

Junction with WA-155 to
Coulee Dam 55 mi. to the southwest.
Omak – Elevation 837 feet above sea level and has
a population of over 1,600.
Omak and Okanogan
are only 5 mi. apart so it is difficult to tell where one city ends and the
other begins. You will find the
primary business in this area is apple orchards but “Baby’s Breath” farming
is also a growing part of the economy.
For those of you who aren’t florists, “Baby’s Breath” is used a lot in
bouquets.
