North Cascades, United States
North Cascades National Park contains more than 300 glaciers — over a third of all glaciers in the contiguous United States. The park's 504,781 acres of dramatic alpine scenery include peaks exceeding 9,000 feet, deep valleys, and over 500 miles of trails. Despite being only three hours from Seattle, it is one of the least visited national parks, receiving fewer annual visitors than Yellowstone gets in a single day.
