Questions

Is White Pass open right now?

There is no official report for White Pass right now. Look at the cameras on this page, and check WSDOT's pass page before you go.

Do I need chains on White Pass?

There is no requirement reported right now. In the snow season, the rule can change within an hour: check this page before you leave, and carry chains over the mountains in winter.

How high is White Pass?

4,500 feet, on US 12, connecting Packwood to Naches and Yakima.

What if White Pass closes?

The nearest other ways across are Cayuse Pass (SR 123), Chinook Pass (SR 410), Snoqualmie Pass (I-90), Blewett Pass (US 97) or Stevens Pass (US 2). Check their status above before you change your plans: storms often close more than one.
