Slate Peak: The Highest Road in Washington State | Nick on the Rocks

The road out of Mazama, Washington eventually leads all the way up to Slate Peak and the highest road in Washington at 7,440 feet. Scattered around this perch in the Cascades are signs that the rocks that now sit more than a mile up were once down at sea level. Fossilized snails and ancient mud tell a story of our distant past and the region’s landscape during the time of the dinosaurs. ** Watch more episodes of Nick on the Rocks:    • Nick on the Rocks   ** Donate to Cascade PBS: https://secure.cascadepublicmedia.org... ** Watch more from Cascade PBS: https://www.cascadepbs.org/ ** Follow Cascade PBS online:   / cascadepbs     / cascadepbs     / cascade_pbs   https://www.threads.net/@cascadepbs ** #geology #washingtonstate
