Mt. Challenger on cover of 1969 book promoting the new North Cascades National Park. Author Harvey Manning was a founding member of N3C.
Postcard caption: "Glacier Peak and Image Lake, classic vista in the proposed North Cascades National Park, Wa. Such a park would complete a Golden Triangel of National Parks unmatched anywhere in the world." [Today's Glacier Peak Wilderness was included in the original NCNP proposal.]
Postcard caption: "Myrtle Lake, in the Entiat Valley approach to the North Cascades parkland - a wilderness threshold on the east side of the mountain country considered by many to be America's scenic climax."
Postcard caption: "Huckleberry time at Cascade Pass, under Magic Mountain in the 'Wilderness Alps of Stehekin,' where children of coming generations can explore the wildness the ages have made perfect, if the Northern Cascades of Washington have national park protection."
Postcard caption: "Springtime in late July on Cloudy Pass. A sea of ice pours from Glacier Peak, two-mile-high ancient volcano in the Northern Cascades of Washington, the American Alps."
Postcard caption: "Many visitors find the North Cascades of Washington most spectacular with its green world changes to white, as in this April photograph of new snow on Sinister Peak (right) and Blue Mountian (left) at the bead of Chickamin Glacier. Distant Glacier Peak is the famed centerpiece of this alpine wilderness now being proposed as a national park."
N3C volunteer Joe Miller measures the circumference of giant western redcedar tree in lower Big Beaver Creek Valley, ca. 1960, to help make the case for the National Park. Today this ancient forest remains outside the full protection of National Park!
