Hike to Easy Pass, North Cascades National Park, WA
North Cascades National Park is one of the places that makes me dream of going back again. A few days of exploring North Cascades was simply not enough. We were there before early July, and some of the roads were still closed for exploring due to heavy snow accumulation.

deep valleys, cascading waterfalls, and over 300 glaciers. North Cascades, also known as Alps of the West, sits on the border of US and Canada.
Ross Lake, North Cascades National Park
The beautiful Ross Lake for example can be accessed via gravel road from Hope, British Columbia on the North. There is no road access from the US side on the South. Tourists who wish to explore more of Ross Lake on land must enter the park from the British Columbia via Canada Highway 1. There are many reliable rental cars that offer tourists to book cheap car hire in Canada to serve them in road trips and adventure such as exploring Ross Lake of North Cascades National Park. Ross Lake is the second largest lake in North Cascades, is 24 miles long, and covers 12,000 acres from the Skagit River up to and beyond the Canadian Border. From the South or US side, Ross Lake can be accessed via kayaks and canoes from Diablo Lake.

The adventure on water will be 5 miles of kayak or boat from Diablo Lake's launch to the end of Diablo Lake to access and explore more of Ross Lake on land.
North Cascades' steep mountains, variety of water and rock features makes this place very rich in biodiversity.
