The rugged wilderness of the Alpine Lakes spans 390,000 acres of beautiful, quiet land hidden within the Cascade Range of Washington state, US. This area is home to more than 800 mountain lakes and over 300 miles (480 km) of myriad clear water streams. The terrain is one of craggy peaks and ridges, and you can also find glacial valleys, granite walls and forests that look like they were taken straight from fairy tale books, ready to enchant nature lovers and travelers walking through these parts. The Alpine Lakes are, we're sure you'll agree, a little paradise dropped to earth, and is a gorgeous place to hike or travel to. |
