North Cascades National Park is
wild, remote and beautiful - a place where gray wolves and grizzlies
can vanish into virgin stands of Douglas fir and Western red cedar and
rumors of bigfoot can thrive.
Over 200 species of birds and 75 species of mammals are found here,
including beavers, flying squirrels, marmots, weasels, pikas,
snowshoe hares, American martens and elusive mountai lions.
Visitor centers are located at North Cascades Headquarters in
Sedro-Woolley, in Newhalem and in the Stehekin Valley. Hikers can
choose from 386 miles of trails, including the Pacific Crest Scenic
Trail . Although there are no lodges within the park, there are
both road accessible campsites and over 200 backcountry camps.
