The North Cascade Mountains Are Considered The Alps Of America

Experiencing the Swiss Alps is a bucket-list item for almost every traveler. Fortunately, you may not have to get your passport ready to experience a mountain range of such splendor and magnificence. The North Cascade Mountain Range of Washington offers majestic peaks that could rival their European counterpart in beauty. Take a look at the following photographs and see if you agree.

Fondly known as the North American Alps, the North Cascade Mountain Range stretches from the border of British Columbia to the state of Washington.

It's not difficult to see why many make the comparison between these snow-covered peaks and the ones you'd find in Switzerland. Both ranges are simply staggering in natural beauty.

Perhaps the best way to enjoy panoramas like the one pictured below is to venture to North Cascades National Park. Filled to the brim with beautiful natural attractions, alpine hiking trails, and wildlife, it's a wonder this park isn't as popular as Olympic or Mount Rainier National Park.

So if you're craving a true alpine adventure, you now know the perfect destination.
