Washington Cascades Offer Outstanding Recreational Activities for Winter and Summer
The Washington Cascades, part of the
Cascade Mountain Range which extends from British Columbia to California, offer hundreds
of miles of hiking, snow-shoeing,
skiing and cross-country skiing trails; many ski resorts; and
countless opportunities for camping, backpacking and mountain climbing in one of the
world's most beautiful and accessible mountain ranges.
In
Washington, this lengthy range of
forested mountains is roughly divided into three different regions, each offering its own
unique and outstanding natural features. The three regions are briefly described
below. For more detail, follow the links:
North Cascades
The North Cascades defining features are Mount Baker, the North
Cascades National Park, several National Wilderness Areas, the Ross Lake National
Recreation Area and the Chelan Lake National Recreation Area.
Central Cascades
The Central Cascades offer an extensive array of outdoor recreational activities less than
two hours by car from Seattle, making the area a
popular playground for hiking, backpacking, climbing and skiing for one of the Pacific
Northwest's largest metropolitan centers.
South Cascades
The South Cascades' three snow-capped volcanoes, Mount Adams, Mount Rainier and Mount
St. Helens, rise dramatically above their lesser neighbors as the outstanding featured
attractions in this widely popular recreational area of south central Washington.
