North Cascades National Park
300+ glaciers, 38,000 visitors/year. The "American Alps" near Seattle.
Called the "American Alps" for its 300+ glaciers — more than any other park in the lower 48. North Cascades gets just 38,000 visitors per year despite being three hours from Seattle. The reason? No cell service, minimal facilities, and trails that demand real fitness. Cascade Pass offers one of the most stunning alpine views on Earth: a knife-edge ridge with glaciers spilling into wildflower meadows on both sides.
