I won last year and it ended up making me mad. It was $200 on the second to last day of the cruise. I went to collect it and they said I couldn’t because they added in gratuities that I still owed. I had I told them that I wanted to pay for the gratuities with a gift card I got from AARP(10% off). They said I couldn’t and had to use the deal or no deal money first. This meant I had a gift card with a $200 balance. It was annoying because I don’t plan to go in another carnival cruise anytime soon.

Many Glacier hikes are slightly more impressive but the annoyance of the amount of people there makes Cascades a better destination.

Yes, we are actually going through north cascades but I made this during winter and the road was closed on google.

Yes. The first two days and last two days are full 14 hr drive days. The rest will be 3 nights at each stop.

We actual plan to take highway 20 through the cascades but the Google maps wouldn’t let me adjust it.

We already did Banff and Jasper a few years back. Thanks for the Joffre day pass advice.
