Description
Discover the breathtaking beauty of North Cascades National Park on a day trip from Seattle. Admire the turquoise waters of Diablo Lake, walk to the Washington Pass Overlook, visit the visitor center.
Escape Seattle and discover the breathtaking hidden gem of the Pacific Northwest on this extraordinary tour to North Cascades National Park. Travel along the legendary North Cascades Highway (SR-20) and take in the park's most spectacular viewpoints, cascading waterfalls, and historic visitor centers in a single unforgettable day.
Your first stop is the legendary Washington Pass Overlook. Take a short paved quarter-mile walk to a breathtaking ledge overlooking the sheer 2,000-foot east face of Liberty Bell Mountain and the dramatic Early Winters Spires.
Continue to the iconic Diablo Lake, one of the most jaw-dropping and photographed natural wonders in all of Washington State. Stop at the overlook to soak in the stunning views of the lake and surrounding high peaks while interpretive signs explain the fascinating geology of the North Cascades.
Make a quick but unforgettable stop at Gorge Creek Falls. Walk across the pedestrian bridge for a dramatic close-up view before continuing to the North Cascades Visitor Center in Newhalem, the gateway to the park's interpretive exhibits, wildlife displays, and the spectacular Sterling Munro Viewpoint, a 330-foot boardwalk behind the visitor center overlooking the majestic Picket Range.
Just steps from the visitor center, discover the enchanting Ladder Creek Falls, a 0.4-mile trail through a historic woodland retreat behind the Gorge Powerhouse. The Ladder Creek Falls run along the edge of the historic woodland retreat, with various views of the falls throughout the length and benches to take a break and enjoy the cool microclimate formed by the area's unique design.
Pass through the charming gateway community of Marblemount, the last stop for fuel and supplies before the park, before your scenic return journey along Highway 20 and I-5 back to Seattle, arriving with extraordinary memories of one of America's most spectacular and underrated national parks.
