North Cascades National Park was a real treat to visit. As a nation, we’re lucky to have it. One of the things I always try to learn when I visit a national park is how the place came to be protected. These are often incredibly “American” stories which always deepen my appreciation for a protected area.
Hey, speaking of how national parks came to be, have you read Crown Jewel Wilderness? It’s a new book by @wildernesswithinher about how North Cascades became a national park. Go grab a copy!
