Jagged snow-dusted peaks, glaciers, waterfalls and shadowy valleys compete for attention in North Cascades National Park. Glacially cold Ross Lake spills over into Canada at the north end, a popular destination for canoers and kayakers. Lake Chelan noses into the south tail of the park, and visitors can connect by boat down to Chelan.
From ice encrusted-crags to crisp glacial lakes, salty ocean beaches and the deep, quiet damp of temperate rainforest, the Olympic National Park is a small paradise on earth. Bears meander along slopes strewn with wildflowers in summer, while visitors wander narrow trails that penetrate this beautiful wilderness. A relatively short jaunt from the civilized world, a visit to the Olympics can be short, sedate and scenic or, with the proper pack, long, solitary and strenuous.Additional Information
