The North Cascades National Park is located in the Cascades Mountains in Washington State, near the Canadian border. It is mostly made up of mountains, glaciers and valleys and is mostly visited by hikers and backpackers. I love to backpack and I think that it would be a really cool experience to backpack in these mountains. The mountains are some of the tallest outside of Alaska and resemble the Alaska Range.
The park is known for its mountains, glaciers, and valleys. Cascade Pass is the parks most popular tourist spot but most of the park is only visited by backpackers and hikers. The Northern Cascades National Park is relatively easy to travel to. There are a few cities and towns around the park. A major highway leads near the park but a regular road actually leads into the park, which has a visitor center and a few lodges.
The weather changes a lot throughout the different seasons, but usually stays cool. During the winter almost the entire park is covered in snow and during the summer the temperature is cool because of the high altitude. If I was to go backpacking in these mountains I would need to prepare for the cool temperatures and year round snow on the mountains.
Backpacking in this park would be a great adventure to go on. I think the only thing that could match the experience would be backpacking in the Alaska Range. The park is filled with trails and amazing mountains. I also think that backpacking would be the best way to see the park. When you backpack you really become a part of the mountains and the park. You’re not just looking at a mountain from a distance and thinking how nice it looks. You’re traveling to the peaks and climbing over them. Seeing the remote mountains, glaciers, rivers, and valleys in the park would be a great experience.
