North Cascades National Park is located in northwestern Washington, less than three hours from Seattle. The northern edge of the park shares a border with Canada.
Most of the park is remote wilderness and can only be accessed by backcountry trails or by boat. The only way to see the park complex by car is on Highway 20 or the North Cascades Highway.
This scenic byway can be reached from Interstate 5 in Burlington. You can also connect to Highway 20 via Highway 530 at Rockport. From the east, you can begin your epic road trip from Winthrop.
