Hike to a high mountain pass in the Northern Cascades or trace the landscape of a volcano at Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument; discover why they call it the Evergreen State as you roam through fabled groves of mammoth Douglas firs and wildflower-filled fields in Mount Rainier National Park.
