#OnThisDate in 1916 the #NationalParkService was birthed by the passing of the #OrganicAct! The #NPS "mission is to preserve the natural and cultural resources of the national parks for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations." ° To think think that these lands, among oh so many others, are in our nation is inspiring. We have nearly every climate and geographic type within US borders. Get out. Enjoy and respect puic lands! These three pictures are from my current favorite area in North Cascades National Park, along the Inspiration Traverse. ° 📸 May 2018 📍 North Cascades National Park Service Complex ° ° ° #northCascades #NorthCascadesNationalPark #NCNP #FindYourPark #Washington #PNW #PacificNorthwest #PNWonderland #sunset #optputside #rei1440project #hiking #wilderness #WildernessCulture #HikingCulture #igPacificNorthwest #IGnorthwest #backpacking #camping #wilderness #wanderlust #TheGreatPNW #nikon #NikonD3400 #Bulger (at North Cascades National Park)
