North Cascades National Park Washington Drive and Short Hikes

Published 2022-06-12
North Cascades National Park in Washington is the 2nd least visited national park in the lower 48 states, but don't think that means North Cascades isn't worth a visit. North Cascades is 100% worth it!

Only a 2 and a half hour drive to this beautiful national park covered in waterfalls and sparkling turquoise lakes like Gorge Lake, Diablo Lake, and Ross Lake. Just outside the park you can do a short hike to the Washington Pass Overlook with views of the Liberty Bell Mountain. A must see is Ladder Creek falls behind the Gorge Powerhouse near the visitor center. You can easily take a day trip from Seattle to this hidden gem.

  • North cascades in May is an interesting choice. Typically by mid July the slow has mostly melted.

    Wow, it looks so much lush! Could you tell if other people were hiking the snow covered trails with boots or snowshoes?
