Yupp yup yup ditto

For hiking deep into the park it is best to wait until the snow has melted and the mosquitoes are gone (Sept. 1) and before the snow might start falling (Sept. 2).

Our memories of this park and area also include snow and Winthrop. We ate lunch there--lovely little town before driving from east to west in mid-June and like you our visit was somewhat limited by snow. We did enjoy the overlooks we could stop at and a couple trails and the lack of crowds.

Late June to early July you can watch Venus set in the notch just left of the peak of the mountain (Coloanal Peak) right after sunset.

The visitation numbers for North Cascades is misleading. I thought a park that close to Seattle Metro should have a lot of visitors and it does, but just in the national recreation area because of accessibility. The park is beautiful and I wish we have more time to go into the backcountry.

Nice video, I liked how you clarified that Hwy 20 is not within the actual NP (only Cascade River Road goes inside the park to Cascade Pass trailhead). Rainy Lake is not especially hard to navigate to in the snow. Snowshoes aren't generally needed here in late spring/early summer, as the snow under the forest canopy is pretty hard except when it is in direct sunlight or right next to trees or large rocks. The trail is very flat, so the key is to not change your elevation as you contour around the hillside towards the lake. A GPS or altimeter helps a lot but really isn't essential, especially on a sunny day. Often there are cross country ski tracks or tracks from other hikers you can follow too. There is a bridge about halfway in that is essential to find, after that elevation loss or gain is not so critical; if you do go too high or low relative to the lake, it generally will become apparent as you get closer to the lake, because you'll see a lot more light through the trees from the direction of the lake.

Thanks for the Rainy Lake tips! We did not expect so much snow on the ground in June and was not prepared to go on a hike with even a few inches of snow but I can see this park as a wonderland in the winter for snow activities.

Beautiful Park, indeed! 😍

Hi, great video and beautiful place! Do you need to hike to get a nice view of the Diablo lake?

Diablo lake is accessible by car. There is a nice area from which the video was taken.

This is the park I was stationed at Sedro Woolley, gateway to the park. Was at Mt.St.Helens when it erupted. Been to Alaska, Steheken. One of the best parks.

I think Hwy 20 Is the coolest hwy in the state and highly recommended driving from end to end and see everything the state has to offer view wise. Including a ferry ride, island hooping and climent changes.

We drove Hwy 20 from one end of the park to the other, and had great ice cream on the eastern end! It was an excellent drive!

Need help. Need to be in Bellingham in March. Would love to drive into the park. No hiking. Just viewing. What should I expect in terms of driving and available view points

I think most of the park will be snow covered. Highway 20 closes for the winter and usually do not reopen until May. The earliest opening date on record is March 10. You can drive up to the point of closure but you can't drive all the way through.

It is impeccable!

That's interesting.... You are not the first person I've heard say that! For someone from North Carolina, the area bounded by North Cascades, Mount Rainier and Olympic are the "Seattle Area" but I may be touching a trip wire here... What's the reason why North Cascades is not considered the Seattle area? I can sort of understand it... I would take exception if someone said Raleigh and Charlotte are in the same area.
