Exploring Outside the 303
A couple, with their backs to the camera, is seated on a rock by the shore of a serene lake in the North Cascades National Park in Northwest Washington state. The lake water has a striking teal hue, reflecting the surrounding majestic snow-capped mountains and lush evergreen forests. The couple appears to be embracing, taking in the breathtaking natural scenery together. One person is wearing a vibrant, patterned jacket with blue and pink hues, while the other is dressed in a gray top. The image evokes a sense of tranquility, adventure, and appreciation for the beauty of the great outdoors.

Exploring North Cascades National Park with Family

Nothing better than taking in these views with my kiddos⁠ ⁠ North Cascades National Park is located in Northwest Washington and an hour and a half from where we are staying. The kids and I set off the explore our 16th National Park. ⁠ ⁠ The water has a tealish color to it and cascading waterfalls at every turn.⁠ ⁠ Our favorite spots we checked out:⁠ ⁠ 🥾 Gorge Creek Falls - 0.5 mile loop and has a great overlook at the bridge ⁠ ⁠ 🥾 Diablo Lake Vista Point - An overlook to take in the full view of the lake, we saw kayaks in the water below⁠ ⁠ 🥾 Ross Damn Trail - 1.4 miles out/back with some amazing waterfalls along the way ⁠ 🥾 Happy Creek Falls - 2.3 mile out/back with parts on a boardwalk. We did not go the whole way but loved the part we did ⁠ You could easily spend a few days at this park and from what I could tell it was big rig friendly with campgrounds in the park. ⁠ How many National Parks have you been to? ⁠ 📍 Diablo Lake ⁠ ⁠ Follow along on our PNW adventures @exploringoutsidethe303⁠
