North Cascades National Park

Today we’re at one of the most stunning natural landscapes in the United States, North Cascades National Park. This image, of the Triplets and Cascade Peak, is taken from atop Forbidden Peak. North Cascades is one of three national parks in Washington state (the others are Olympic and Mount Rainier). North Cascades is also the state’s newest national park, created in 1968, and contains more than 200,000 hectares of steep mountain peaks, vast forests and many waterways. It boasts the most expansive system of glaciers in the Unites States outside of Alaska.
