North Cascades National Park

Jagged peaks, deep valleys, cascading waterfalls, and over 300 glaciers adorn this National Park.
Boston glacier is the largest glacier in the park with an area of 7 km2 .
The park is home to lynx, bears, moose, wolverines, and wolves.

2.       Winthrop: This is a cute town at the edge of the North Cascades. The Shafer Museum is in Winthrop. The museum has old cars and farm equipment.
