Solo Overnight Driving the Historic Ellensburg to Wenatchee Wagon\Stage Coach Route.

Now called Colockum Pass Road, I begin in Ellensburg and travel over Colockum pass and look for the old stage halfway station. Though I had intended to camp near the pass, the presence of cattle meant there would be lots of flies, so I moved on. Then I start down towards to Wenatchee before heading off the wagon road and into the desert for an overnight camp. In the morning I finish the final few miles to Wenatchee.

Very interesting. I had never heard any of that before. I’m glad they didn’t make that a better route, it’s nice to have places of solitude.

Yes I totally agree, if they paved that road it would have lost all of its historic charm. When you're there it still seems like the stage might have just passed through yesterday.

I'm young and not to educated on the West Coast, my question is Dan, on the trip in when you explained the wagon road change I don't see many trees around the trail, was there once trees all through this area and it was logged to what it is now or was it like this back in the 1800's the same as now? I love your videos again it's something I would never be able to see in my lifetime, thanks for another great one!!

The trees are part of the forests of the Cascade Mountains. In this video I am on the east side of the cascades and the trees are giving way to the desert the farther east I go. Im so glad you are enjoying my videos, makes my day! Thanks for commenting.
