With over 300 glaciers, peaks, valleys, and cascading waterfalls, the North Cascades are fondly called the American Alps. The North Cascades National Park is in the eastern region of Skagit Valley. The North Cascades National Park and Forest Information Center, located in Sedro-Woolley, includes an exhibit map model of the park and adjacent national forests along with retail sales of books, maps, videos, and other items related to the North Cascades National Park. The North Cascades Visitor Center is located across the Skagit River from the North Cascades Highway (State Route 20) near milepost 120 and the town of Newhalem. Learn about the park with the map model of the park, exhibit room featuring multimedia exhibits on the park’s natural and cultural history, and pick up a souvenir in the retail area. Are you looking for a backcountry permit? Stop by the Wilderness Information Center in Marblemount (7280 Ranger Station Rd) at State Route 20 milepost 105.3. Inside find exhibits about wilderness and backcountry travel, map model, and sales of books, maps, and other items related to wilderness, hiking, and climbing. This center is the main backcountry permit office for North Cascades National Park and the adjacent Ross Lake and Lake Chelan National Recreation Areas. Backcountry permits are required year-round and are available at an outdoor self-issue station when the station closes during the winter season. Looking to stretch out those legs, a quick restroom break, and a surprisingly fun exhibit, stop by the Skagit Information Center on State Route 20 in the town of Newhalem. Jointly operated by Seattle City Light, North Cascades Institute, and North Cascades National Park, learn about hydroelectric power and Skagit Project dams at the exhibit. Take the Trail of the Cedars short hike over the river and enjoy the forest. Also, the park at the Skagit Information Center is a great place to let the kids run around the steam engine while enjoying lunch in a majestic setting. Climb aboard Old Number Six, a restored Baldwin steam engine, and ring its big brass bell. Located next to the Skagit General Store, this locomotive used to run between Newhalem and Rockport and offered the only access to the area during construction of the Skagit River Project. Picnic tables, a playground, and restrooms are nearby.

Rugged mountains and glacier capped peaks all year, this is the American Alps but so much closer than the actual Alps. Thousands of fun things to do from hiking or boating on Ross lake, to hiking and exploring around the Early Winter Spires. A must visit if you have a weekend.

The Cascade Loop (the drive through the North Cascades National Park) is regarded as one of the most beautiful drives in the nation. You will see mountains, oceans, lakes, rivers and valleys. Clearblu is located near an entrance to the Cascade Loop.
