I've delivered many a PA-28 to Seattle using the northern route. Not a
biggie, but not a walk in the park either. Use common sense and stay abreast
of the weather. You don't have to fly over the highest peaks, you know.

According to Destination Direct, we are just 10.5 hours away from my
sister
in Sequim, WA.

D.D. routes us northwest to Billings, Montana, and then west from there.
The terrain looks very high, indeed.

Can Atlas make the jump? Is it possible for a normally aspirated plane
(and pilots!) to fly over the Rockies? How high must one go?

Thanks in advance...
