Stranded 9 Days in North Cascades National Park

City traffic, gas stations, coffee chains, grocery stores, and fast food restaurants that congest our cities and suburbs can at times be overbearing when trying to escape the noise of our everyday lives. To be fair, of course these constructions have made life more convenient for the average citizen. We all need to be efficient with our time in order to effectively get work done as well as have time for other commitments. For those looking to escape to somewhere quiet however, and truly see the beauty that is America, any of the 63 designated national parks are a sight to see, and an experience that you will never forget. Be prepared though, because nature in its rawest form can be as dangerous as it is beautiful.
