Well, like everything else, road trips have to come to an end. Yesterday, we drove across Washington taking the northerly route through the mountains. It was a truly beautiful drive. As we got closer to home, we drove through one of our favorite national parks — North Cascades. The vistas are amazing and there are actually more glaciers here than in Glacier National Park. And, it’s only about 90 miles from us! Anyway, it was a great adventure. All told, we visited 6 national parks and 7 other National Park Service units (monuments, preserves, historical sites). We learned a lot and took in a lot of the beauty that surrounds us in this great country of ours! Until next time!

Amazing overlooks in North Cascades. The craggy peaks are amazing to see!

There are still a large number of glaciers here but, as in Glacier National Park, they are melting.

Ross Lake National Recreation Area. Beautiful lake that is used for hydroelectric power generation!

I am a traveler and sometimes clay sculptor, following a long career working in consulting. My work allowed me to travel the world extensively and I was hooked. Today, I travel with my wife/best friend to explore new places, meet new people, and learn new things.
