A wonderland
of jagged snow-dusted peaks, waterfalls, glaciers and valleys located 113 miles
east of Seattle is a place called North Cascades National Park. There is
popular destination for those who like canoeing and kayaking which is Ross Lake
in the northeast by the Canadian border. Furthermore there
is another place in the more southern part of the Park, Lake Chelan. It is
surrounded by national forest areas and dense wilderness.
There are 386 miles of hiking trails amidst the back-country campsites that offer the solitude and privacy many on an RV rental vacation are looking for thanks to the lack and location of interior roads. Trails range from leisurely walking trails to more serious uphill hikes that can be found along Highway 20, the main route through the Park, and the more winding roads that lead off into the mountains.
