A Less-Visited Gem: Explore North Cascades National Park
Located in Northwest Washington, North Cascades National Park is an underrated gem that offers an abundance of outdoor recreation under three hours from Seattle.

Take in the views from a scenic hike, go mountaineering, enjoy a dip in a lake, or camp under the stars with the whole family. You’ll find fewer crowds compared to the state’s two other national parks when you venture to this section of the Cascade Mountain Range.
Discover Small Towns in Washington’s Trails & Lakes Region
Enjoy outdoor recreation, history, and family fun with a visit to one of these small towns and cities in the Trails & Lakes Region of north-central Washington. From hamlets of 100 to those with up to 10,000 residents, smaller communities offer a more laid-back alternative to bustling cities.

Visit the scenic Bavarian town of Leavenworth, sip wine along the lake in Chelan, or browse local art in the Old-West town of Winthrop.
