Updated: see the pics here.
Being sick of constant unpacking & organizing, we decided to take a break Sunday. We drove ~2.5 hours to North Cascades National Park. Neither of us had been there before, but it has a reputation of being an extremely beautiful (and uncrowded) place. It didn't disappoint.
The north Cascades are nicknamed the "American Alps" because they are steep, jagged, and covered with glaciers and could easily remind you of Switzerland or Austria. The road takes you past countless small waterfalls (the kind people buy posters of) that run down the side of the mountains every few hundred feet. There are several large lakes which were formed be dams that give people like Anya & I cheap electricity, but that doesn't make the lakes any less impressive.
We have lots of other cools places to explore also, but I know both Anya and I would like to go back sometime.
