North Cascades National Park - Marblemount, Washington
The beauty of this area of Washington is still a secret to many that would enjoy the wild, rugged beauty of the area filled with jagged peaks, cascading waterfalls giving an eyeful of outstanding splendor. The 318 glaciers are just waiting for your discovery. The mountainous region included in the National Park consists of four different parks all managed by the National Park Service as one unit.
The park had 318 glaciers with an area of 117 km² (Post et al., 1971), which is the most of any park in the lower 48 states. All the glaciers in the park have retreated significantly from 1980-2005 and the rate is increasing. The recent warmer climate has led to more summer melting and more winter melting events, reducing winter snowpack. Several glaciers in the range have melted away in the last decade.[1] The Boston Glacier, on the north slope of Boston Peak, is the largest glacier in the park with an area of 7 km².
