Ok, so I’ve never actually been lost in North Cascades National Park, but it wouldn’t be hard. With only one road, Highway 20, slicing the park in half, it encompasses nearly 685,000 acres. It’s huge, it’s beautiful and some sections are very remote. We won’t be getting lost, but tomorrow my my fiancee and I pack up the bikes for a short overnight cycling tour on the North Cascades Highway. Leaving from the town of Newhalem, on the wet side of the Cascades, we’ll arrive at some point later in the day in the old west town of Winthrop. The ride itself is ‘only’ about 75 miles in length, but it involves lots of ascending, climbing up and over the Cascades and descending into the high and dry dessert of central Washington. While getting the BOB ready for the tour (my bike trailer) I was distracted by some past photos of kayaking in Ross Lake, a stunning recreational area that is one of three sections that actually make up the North Cascades National Park Complex. So, although we’ll be a peddling and not paddling, here are some sea kayaking photos to remind everyone to get out and play
