On the Cliff — a stop on Chuckanut Drive.
This is the stretch people come for. The road is cut into the side of Chuckanut Mountain, with sandstone rising on one side and Samish Bay dropping away on the other, and for a couple of miles you are essentially driving along a ledge.
Look west when the trees allow. Below you is Samish Bay, shallow and silvered at low tide, and beyond it the San Juan Islands — Lummi, Orcas and the rest, low blue shapes on the water. On a clear evening the sun sets behind them and the whole bay goes gold.
There are several pull-outs along here and they are the entire reason to drive it slowly. Use them properly — get fully off the pavement, because a car half in the lane on a blind bend is the most dangerous thing on this road.
Cyclists ride this constantly. It is a famous climb, there is no shoulder, and they will be in your lane because there is nowhere else. Wait for a clear sight line before passing; it will cost you twenty seconds.
And watch for rock on the road after rain. This is a sandstone cliff and it sheds.
