We will have to check out the hiking project, I hadn't heard of that ap before. This area is honestly my favorite. The clear water is u like anything. That and I have great memories with my girls as little littles here. I've only ever seen it in summer. It's much different covered in snow!

But where I do have a trip planned thanks to you giving me the idea is Olympic National Park in mid-September! Great music at the end of the video my friend and beautiful scenery throughout.

@Mikey-Likes-It_101 3 года назад

Randy, another excellent video for you and Natalie to add to the Washington State collection. North Cascades National Park is just far enough from Seattle that it does not see many people, and by summer the past years, the fires chase people away. In fact, the “North Cascades Highway” SR 20 from Rainy pass to to Winthrop closed in early July this year for a major fire, now there is a pilot car that escorts traffic past the fire crew activity on the Cedar Creek Fire (53,000 acres and still smoldering). Your video shows amazing views of our mountains! The Canadian border opened today, important to the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail through hikers (coming up from the Mexico border through the North Cascades this time of year). Imagine what it might have been like going southbound from Canadian border, headed to Mexico, through the North Cascades in mid June (that is what Erik Ryback did in 1970). THANK YOU FOR THE JUNE TOUR OF NORTH CASCADES, . . . Mike

@AmericasParks 3 года назад

Always learn so much from your comments, Mike! Heard about the fire... hope things are under control. Have a blessed week!

Going back the Delaware Water Gap NRA in the next week or so as long as the heat & humidity abate a bit.

Such beautiful scenery throughout this video. Diablo Lake looks like an incredible sight to behold and those mountains are simply stunning. Awesome job capturing the beauty of this area. We have not yet made our way to the Washington NPs, but I have done a little research into North Cascades. It is definitely one of the more tricky parks to explore, especially if you want to explore with the actual National Park boundaries. I can only imagine how incredible a backpacking trip would be for this area.

Wow, another amazing video! This video (as always) is so well-crafted -- and the scenery is breathtaking. Some of this footage might be the best that I've seen on your many adventures (or anywhere for that matter). That lookout spot next to the frozen lake (with waterfall) is incredible! That spot (beginning at 7:40) with the teal-emerald water, forests and mountains might be one of the most beautiful spots that I've ever seen. BTW: Have you ever rented snowshoes? I understand that REI will rent them. In your case (packed ice/snow), some crampon add-ons might have been even better (and more affordable). I hope to hike Mt. Whitney next year; and, I've heard that good crampons are strongly advised.

@AmericasParks 3 года назад

Thanks for the kind words, Chris! Yes, we rented snowshoes when we were hiking at Grant Teton earlier in the year. Having crampons is key! Would have probably been able to complete the Mount Saint Helens hike if we had then with us at the time.

I love the North Cascades. Not very crowded and great scenery. Next you are up in that area try doing the hike to Cascade Pass. Another area is around Mount Baker with incredible views. You probably would not have been able to do either one on this trip with all the snow. Kahtoola Microspikes are lifesavers on snow & ice. They take up little space in your pack.
