Visit Lake Chelan, Lake in Chelan County, North Central Washington State, United States
Lake Chelan is a narrow, 50.5 miles (81.3 km) long lake in Chelan County, north-central Washington state, U.S.[1] It is the largest natural lake in the state by any measure. With the completion of Lake Chelan Dam in 1927, the elevation of the lake was raised up to 21 feet (6.4 m).[2] Two communities lie on the southern end of the lake, and a third sits at the far north end, providing a gateway to the North Cascades National Park.

North Cascades National Park features the rugged mountain peaks of the North Cascades Range, the most expansive glacial system in the contiguous United States, the headwaters of numerous waterways, and vast forests with the highest degree of flora biodiversity of any American national park.
The region was first settled by Paleo-Indian Native Americans; by the time European American explorers arrived it was inhabited by Skagit tribes. By the early 19th century, the region was visited by fur trappers and several British and American companies vied for control over the fur trade. After the international boundary between Canada and the United States was set at the 49th parallel in 1846, explorers came to chart potential routes through the mountains for roads and railroads.

Yakima River Canyon - Central Washington State
The ridges above Roza Dam, located near the south end of Yakima Canyon, is a great place to enjoy the desert landscape and observe trains passing thousands of feet below.
It was carved through immense layers of basalt volcanic rock during periods of catastrophic flooding when the glaciers receded during the last ice age. The horseshoe bends and steep rock faces are evidence of the constant forces of erosion.
This arid desert landscape is only an hours drive east from the cold and wet crest of the Cascade Mountains, and is a great place to enjoy sunshine and open spaces.

The History Of North Cascades National Park
North Cascades National Park is an American national park in the state of Washington.
At more than 500,000 acres , North Cascades National Park is the largest of the three National Park Service units that comprise the North Cascades National Park Complex.
North Cascades National Park consists of a northern and southern section, bisected by the Skagit River that flows through Ross Lake National Recreation Area.
Lake Chelan National Recreation Area lies on the southern border of the south unit of the park.
In addition to the two national recreation areas, other protected lands including several national forests and wilderness areas, as well as Canadian provincial parks in British Columbia, nearly surround the park.
North Cascades National Park features the rugged mountain peaks of the North Cascades Range, the most expansive glacial system in the contiguous United States, the headwaters of numerous waterways, and vast forests with the highest degree of flora biodiversity of any American national park.
The region was first settled by Paleo-Indian Native Americans; by the time European American explorers arrived, it was inhabited by Skagit tribes.
By the early 19th century, the region was visited by fur trappers and several British and American companies vied for control over the fur trade.
After the Canada–United States border was set at the 49th parallel in 1846, explorers came to chart potential routes through the mountains for roads and railroads.
Limited mining and logging occurred from the late 19th century to the early 20th century.
The first significant human impact in the region occurred in the 1920s when several dams were built in the Skagit River valley to generate hydroelectric power.
Environmentalists then campaigned to preserve the remaining wilderness, culminating on October 2, 1968, with the designation of North Cascades National Park.
Heavy snows and a high risk of avalanches due to the steep terrain, especially on the western slopes, severely limit visitation in the winter.
Most access to the park is from State Route 20, which follows the Skagit River, though even this road is closed for months at a time in the winter.
Most of the plant and animal species native to the park region are still found there, though climate change and pollutants from industrialized regions to the west pose risks to the environment.
The park has one of the earliest and longest lasting research programs dedicated to studying climate change, primarily through examining the effects of glacial retreat.
North Cascades National Park is almost entirely protected as wilderness, and so the park has few structures, roads or other improvements.
Visitors wishing to drive to a campground must do so in the adjacent national forests or national recreation areas.
Camping inside the park requires hiking in by trail, horseback or boat, and camping is regulated by a permit system to ensure the wilderness is not over-exploited.
Mountaineering is popular in the park and only unobtrusive clean climbing is allowed.
Human history in North Cascades National Park and the surrounding region begins 8–10,000 years ago, after the end of the last glacial period.
Paleo-Indians slowly advanced from Puget Sound into the interior mountain region as the glacial ice retreated.
Archaeological evidence from other sites hundreds of miles away from the park indicate that Hozomeen chert, a type of rock well-suited to the fabrication of implements, was mined from near Hozomeen Mountain, just east of the park border, for the last 8,400 years.
Tools such as microblades made from Hozomeen chert are part of the archaeological record throughout the Skagit River Valley, west of the park and in regions to the east.
Prehistoric micro blades 9,600 years old have been discovered at Cascade Pass, a mountain pass that connects the western lowlands to the interior regions of the park and the Stehekin River Valley.
The microblades are part of an archaeological assemblage that includes five distinct cultural periods, indicating that people were traveling into the mountains nearly 10,000 years ago.
As well as the archaeological excavation at Cascade Pass, there are another 260 prehistoric sites that have been identified in the park.
When white explorers first entered the area in the late 18th century, an estimated thousand Native American Skagits lived in what is now North Cascades National Park as well as the surrounding area.
Residing mainly to the west of the park near Puget Sound, the Skagits lived in settlements, culling their needs from the waterways and traveling by canoe.
Skagits formed a loose confederation of tribes that united if threatened by outside tribes such as the Haidas, who lived to the north.
They erected large houses or lodges that could house multiple families, each with their own partitioned area and entrance.
