Day Hiking in North Cascades
North Cascades National Park
Hike the North Cascades to experience some of the finest mountain country in North America.
North Cascades National Park Service Complex preserves some of the finest mountain country in North America. From accessible and short, scenic strolls to steep mountain hikes, there is a trail here for everyone. Enjoy the solitude, peace, and challenge that hiking in this beautiful park offers. The most common hiking season stretches from April through October. The driest and most popular time to visit is during the summer months of mid-June through September. Higher elevation trails often remain snow-covered well into July and sometimes August. Precipitation and snowfall are greatest from November through March. The key to a successful trip is to plan ahead and be prepared. Check out the park complex's trail guides and other trip planning tools.
