What should I budget for the North Cascades National Park Tour?

Created by Shaka Guide, Modified on Thu, 30 Oct at 5:45 AM by Shaka Guide

Most stops do not have an entrance fee, however, there are a few hikes in the national forest that require a National Forest Recreation Pass at $5 per vehicle. You can purchase an ePASS here or at a kiosk at the trailhead. 

Those include Rainy Pass (Rainy Lake and Maple Pass Trails), Blue Lake Trail, and Cutthroat Lake Trail. If you’re not planning on hiking these trails, you do not need this pass. 

There are also optional Diablo Lake boat tours that you can take for an additional cost. These sell out quickly, so advance reservations are highly recommended. Check out our KNOW BEFORE YOU GO article for more information.
