The North Cascades are Washington's best kept wilderness secret, with gem-colored waters, cascading waterfalls, and old-growth forests right in the backyards of Seattle and Vancouver, BC. Venture off the beaten path and go camping, but keep your eyes peeled for Sasquatch! The only "official" sighting was up in the North Cascades.

Home to the Skagit River, from whitewater to wine to bald eagles, there's something for everyone!

Right next door are the San Juan Islands too, but these waters are world famous! From the seaside resort town of Anacortes to Victoria, BC, you'll find unforgettable sea-kayaking and whale-watching tours, or just a secluded island to kick back and get away from it all.
