Although it's not as well-known as some of the other national parks in America, North Cascades National Park is home to some of the country's most spectacular wilderness, and it's only three hours away from Seattle. The park has traditionally attracted more serious hikers and mountaineers who want to explore the rugged backcountry, but with almost 400 miles of trails to choose from, there's something for everyone. The easiest trails can be found around the North Cascades Visitor Center, and the beautiful Sterling Munro Trail features a fully accessible boardwalk perfect for families and anyone who wants a gentle stroll.
