One of the Better Drives in the NPS
North Cascades Highway的点评
点评：Washington Hwy 20 (North Cascades Highway) is truly one of the prettiest drives in the country as it winds along the Skagit River and cuts the North Cascades mountains. What makes it impressive is the height and verticality of the mountains as well as the impressive covering of larger timber of fir and spruce giving the mountains an evergreen color until the top which is a rocky blueish-grey capped by glacial ice. As those glaciers melt and the water cascades down those vertical walls to the lakes along the Hwy 20 damns, the water is turned a beautiful emerald green that makes places like Diablo Lake one of the most visited parts of North Cascades National Park and Hwy 20 what most people see in the park. It is also on Hwy. 20 that you will find the iconic National Park sign as well as the Visitor's Center.
The irony is that the entirety of Hwy 20 and its overlooks on the beautiful glacial lakes is not in North Cascades Park. Technically, when you drive on Hwy 20, you are in the Ross Lake National Recreation Area which about 300,000 people visit annually. Only about 25,000 people annually make it into North Cascades National Park. Outside the technicality, the vast majority of people and even the NPS make it look like the NP and the NRA are one park. So when you drive 20, you really do in essence see the park and some of its best scenery, certainly its most popular.
Additionally, Hwy 20 provides the only access to many towns like Marblemount, WA. We stayed and ate in Marblemount and the hotel and restaurant were both on Hwy. 20.
The day we visited was misty with low clouds which means our views were hindered. Still even at the bottom you could see how awesome the park and this road were. We did get to the Visitor's Center and hike Skagit River Loop trail and stop at the Diablo Lake Overlook. However, most of the pull overs and hikes were not open due to the recent fires. In fact, many days in August and even September, Hwy 20 was closed due the fires. I was just happy that we got to see Diablo Lake as it is truly amazing and the most incredible sight in the park. Even limited it was an incredible drive.

翻译：华盛顿 20 号高速公路（北喀斯喀特高速公路）确实是美国最美丽的公路之一，因为它沿着斯卡吉特河蜿蜒，穿过北喀斯喀特山脉。令人印象深刻的是山脉的高度和垂直度，以及令人印象深刻的较大的冷杉和云杉木材覆盖物，使山脉呈现出常绿的颜色，直到顶部是蓝灰色的岩石，上面覆盖着冰川。随着冰川融化，水顺着垂直的墙壁流向 20 号高速公路沿线的湖泊，水变成美丽的翠绿色，使迪亚波罗湖等地方成为北喀斯喀特国家公园和 20 号高速公路最受欢迎的地区之一。大多数人都在公园里看到。它也在高速公路上。 20 号路，您会发现标志性的国家公园标志以及游客中心。
具有讽刺意味的是，整个 20 号高速公路及其对美丽冰川湖的俯瞰并不在北喀斯喀特公园内。从技术上讲，当您沿着 20 号高速公路行驶时，您就进入了每年约有 300,000 人参观的罗斯湖国家休闲区 (Ross Lake National Recreation Area)。每年只有约 25,000 人进入北喀斯喀特国家公园。除了技术性之外，绝大多数人甚至 NPS 都让 NP 和 NRA 看起来像是一个公园。因此，当您开车 20 小时时，您确实可以真正看到公园及其一些最好的风景，当然也是最受欢迎的风景。
此外，20 号高速公路是前往华盛顿州马博蒙特等许多城镇的唯一通道。我们在马博蒙特住宿和吃饭，酒店和餐厅都在高速公路上。 20.
我们去的那天，雾蒙蒙的，云层很低，这意味着我们的视线受到了阻碍。即使在底部，你仍然可以看到公园和这条路有多么棒。我们确实到达了游客中心，沿着斯卡吉特河环线徒步旅行，并在迪亚布罗湖观景点停留。然而，由于最近的火灾，大多数停车和徒步旅行都没有开放。事实上，8 月甚至 9 月的很多天，20 号高速公路都因火灾而关闭。我很高兴我们看到了暗黑破坏神湖，因为它确实令人惊叹，也是公园里最令人难以置信的景观。即使受到限制，这也是一次令人难以置信的驾驶。
