Why it works

North Cascades National Park is one of the most rugged and least visited national parks in the lower 48 states, with a complex backcountry of glaciers, remote valleys, and challenging terrain that requires detailed topographic mapping for safe navigation. The park's three separate units — connected by the North Cascades Highway — require a map covering all three to plan a complete park visit. Waterproof construction is essential in the North Cascades, where rain is among the heaviest in the continental US. See also NGTIB202 (Washington National Parks Bundle) for coverage of all three Washington national parks.
