What To Expect
Sedro Woolley
We’ve just left the quaint town Sedro-Woolley. Once two towns, this unusually-named settlement was later combined into one town. Before the merger, men had a different name for Sedro. They called it Bug! The mosquitos were pretty thick at that time, so it seemed a fitting name. Luckily, the ladies of the town disagreed, so the name didn’t stick. The tour is over 144+ miles long, with more than 100+ audio stories, and takes about 4–5 hours to complete. You can start from Sedro-Woolley to Winthrop or vice versa.

Lyman
That’s what early pioneers did in the mid-to-late 1800s. These pioneers came from all over the country. Some were from Pennsylvania. Others from North Carolina. And a few weren’t American at all—they were Canadian. Most came in search of gold, but others were fur trappers or just seeking plentiful farmland.

5.00The best way to do a road trip. My sister and I love road trips, but most of the time you enjoy the scenery, but never really know anything about where you are. With this self-guided road trip tour you get to here and enjoy not only what you’re seeing, but about the history of the area. We plugged my phone into the car radio so all of us could hear all the stories, history and lots of other tidbits. Now I want more for our next road trip.
