Overlanding Stampede Pass - An EPIC Offroad Trail Close to Seattle!

Stampede Pass is unlike any of the other mountain passes that cut through the Cascade Mountains in Washington State. Unpaved and undeveloped, it makes for an incredible trip.
And after striking out on this campsite the past few times we've been up there, this time we found it unoccupied .... and it did NOT disappoint!

    Crazy that KZread suggested this to me. Back in 2002, my parents brought me home from the hospital after birth in their 2002 Chevy Tahoe. Every year since then, my father has taken me on this loop from Stampede to Greenwater a few times each summer from our home in Maple Valley. Now I'm the one driving it in that very same 2002 Tahoe. Needless to say, this is my all-time favorite route. Never spent the night though, but I definitely want to.

    Stampede Pass isn't particularly difficult. I would think that most AWD crossovers could handle it. Your biggest risk is likely getting a puncture on some sharp rocks (there are a few sections with sorta sharp embedded rock) if you don't have A/T tires. Otherwise .... probably doable. Keep in mind though, there is likely still snow up there. Might be too early in the year to get up there.

    Not to put a damper on your videos, but you really need to very, very careful about following proper drone laws, such as flying over 400ft. AGL, flying in weather that is less than 3 statute miles of visibility, and flying a drone in a national forest, to name a few. I don't want you guys getting in trouble with fines from the FAA, so best to educate yourselves, get a commercial drone pilot's license and use that knowledge to fly more safely. Flying in or near clouds is a major no-go, as well. I know the footage is epic, and I know it sucks, but again, don't want you guys getting massive fines. And with the FAA, ignorance of the laws is not a valid defense. Good luck!

But flying in and above clouds is a BIG deal. Not even planes/pilots can fly through clouds legally without being IFR-qualified (instrument-rated) vs. VFR (visual-only rated). And here are the other regs I mentioned: “A remote pilot in command and the person manipulating the flight controls of the small unmanned aircraft system must comply with all of the following operating limitations when operating a small unmanned aircraft system: (a) The ground speed of the small unmanned aircraft may not exceed 87 knots (100 miles per hour). (b) The altitude of the small unmanned aircraft cannot be higher than 400 feet above ground level, unless the small unmanned aircraft: (1) Is flown within a 400-foot radius of a structure; and (2) Does not fly higher than 400 feet above the structure’s immediate uppermost limit. (c) The minimum flight visibility, as observed from the location of the control station must be no less than 3 statute miles. For purposes of this section, flight visibility means the average slant distance from the control station at which prominent unlighted objects may be seen and identified by day and prominent lighted objects may be seen and identified by night. (d) The minimum distance of the small unmanned aircraft from clouds must be no less than: (1) 500 feet below the cloud; and (2) 2,000 feet horizontally from the cloud.“

    If you're not already, I would strongly suggest you get your commercial drone pilot license, even if you're not making money from KZread presently. That could change in the future and being licensed can cover that eventuality and if you are making money from drone flying (sure, it's not SOLELY from doing it, but it's part of what generates the revenue), than it's required by the FAA. I used Pilot Institute and their frequent specials that often include lifetime access to their constantly updated training can't be beat!
