 Skagit
County is located in the northwest portion of Washington State, USA.
between Seattle, Washington and Vancouver, B.C. Canada.
The majestic Cascade Mountains stand to the east,
overlooking a fertile valley boasting a variety of agricultural crops.
Running through the valley is the powerful Skagit River flowing westward
toward the beautiful San Juan Islands. World famous tulip fields blanket the
valley in the spring. Flocks of Canadian geese, snow geese and
trumpeter swans can be seen here in the winter. Bald eagles soar overhead
year round and great blue herons stand along the shorelines.

We inspire close relationships with nature
through direct experiences in the natural world. Since 1986,
North Cascades Institute (a nonprofit
organization) has worked to conserve and restore Northwest environments
through education
Torrents of water fall as rain
and snow here, and as a result, 519 glaciers cover over 90 square miles
between Snoqualmie Pass and the Canadian border. Lakes nestle in tight
pockets between sharp, often serrated ridges. Most of these lakes are
natural, while a few are reservoirs behind dams.
The North Cascades is a dramatic
place of deep-green hillsides and rock faces raked by streamers of cloud,
gleaming glaciers riven by crevasses, rivers racing under gray skies, and
ravens rolling on the wind."

Miles, Impressions of the North Cascades, 1996 |
