It’s right next door to North Cascades; the area I camped in was next to Mt. Baker directly on Baker Lake. I chose this area because of the access to lake – I was hoping to get out my kayak. The drive wasn’t too bad, from Concrete, WA turn North on 11 (Baker Lake Road)…

North Cascades National Park
North Cascades National Park Complex connects 3 park units: North Cascades National Park, Ross Lake National Recreation Area and Lake Chelan National Recreation Area.

It took me almost 2 weeks to get to my first destination. Technically I could have done it in 4 – 5 days, but that would mean all day driving with no rest. I decided to drive to Ute Lake State Park in New Mexico as my first stop. The goal was to leave Dallas no…

The lakes, rivers, forests and wildlife surrounding these giant mountains are unspoiled and unforgettable. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. I have seen YouTube videos and photographs of the Tetons before and they never really captured…
