Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Just under three hours away from Seattle, the North Cascades feature a gorgeous alpine landscape that’s waiting to be discovered.

Visitors will discover rugged peaks topped by over 300 glaciers, forested valleys, and cascading waters. It’s the perfect destination for backcountry hiking, climbing, hiking, and camping. Boating, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking are also extremely popular on any of the several lakes within the park, but jet skis are not allowed on any of the waterways.

This is also an important area for scientists who monitor the over 300 glaciers within the park to get a better understanding of climate change and its effects on this very important ecosystem.
