Northern Washington State’s wild and vast North Cascades National Park is worth going out of your way to visit. Nicknamed the “American Alps,” these impressive spires harbor even more impressive glaciers, meadows and scenic views.
Though the park can be tough to access, the effort is rewarded with unforgettable experiences. And you’ll share them with few people: just under 30,000 visitors grace the park’s boundaries every year.
Enjoy old growth forests, impressive mountain views and pristine scenery that harbors some 200 species of birds, plus grizzly bears and gray wolves. Some of the best experiences include boating and fishing on wild Ross Lake, trekking to the remote town of Stehekin and taking a scenic drive along the Cascade Loop.
Backcountry activities like hiking, camping and climbing are popular pastimes here. Friendly rangers can help you plan a trip and equip you with the proper permits. Visit the new Environmental Learning Center located on the shores of Diablo Lake, go whitewater rafting on the Skagit River or enjoy a view of a swath of mountains at the Washington Pass Overlook.
