The North Cascades National Park keeps its natural wonders SECRET... until you know where to look! 🏔️✨![]()
Joanne and Sal from New Jersey, along with Leah from Ohio, just discovered the magic hidden in these mountains! Glacier-carved peaks and valleys, ancient old-growth forests guarded by ancestral trees, lakes so turquoise and deep blue they take your breath away, wild berries ready for picking, ferns in every size and shape imaginable, rare wildflowers tucked into secret spots, mysterious lichens, and the ultimate surprise - an osprey flying overhead with a fresh fish catch clutched in its talons! ![]()
Sometimes the best adventures are the ones that reveal nature's best-kept secrets!
Every twist and turn of the JOURNEY hike I've designed reveals new wonders - from towering trees draped in fluffy moss and stringy lichens, vibrant wildflowers, songs of forest birds to the mysterious kelp beds... ![]()
The joy on ACL hikers' faces when they discover the treasures of our coastal temperate rainforest is special! 🌲✨This is why I do what I do!
