What people say

"This national park is known for its rugged mountain landscapes, glaciers, and abundant wilderness. It encompasses a portion of the North Cascades mountain range, featuring jagged peaks and deep valleys. The park is characterized by its diverse ecosystems, including alpine meadows, old-growth forests, and pristine lakes."
"Please pack and plan accordingly to be out in nature. There are vault toilets at many trailheads and this is an area where wildlife is very common (bears, mountain goats, cougars, etc). We hiked the Blue Lake Trail and it was stunning. "
"A completely underrated National Park, in my opinion. Way less foot traffic but still totally driveable from Seattle."
