Published monthly and semi-monthly during June by The Mountaineers, P.O. Box 122, Seattle, Washington 98111. Clubroom is at 7191h Pike Street, Seattle. Subscription price monthly Bulletin and Annual, $5.00 per year. EDITORIAL STAFF: Alice Thorn, editor; Loretta Slat­ er, Betty Manning. Material and photographs should be submitted to The Mountaineers, at above address, before Novem­ ber 1, 1969, for consideration. Photographs should be black and white glossy prints, 5x7, with caption and photographer's name on back. Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced and include writer's name, address and phone number. foreword Since the North Cascades National Park was indubi­ tably the event of this past year, this issue of The Mountaineer attempts to record aspects of that event. Many other magazines and groups have celebrated by now, of course, but hopefully we have managed to avoid total redundancy. Probably there will be few outward signs of the new management in the park this summer. A great deal of thinking and planning is in progress as the Park Serv­ ice shapes its policies and plans developments. The North Cross-State highway, while accessible by four­ wheel vehicle, is by no means fully open to the public yet. So, visitors and hikers are unlikely to "see" the changeover to park status right away. But the first articles in this annual reveal both the thinking and work which led to the park, and the think­ ing which must now be done about how the park is to be used.

  • The Wild Cascades
    THE WILD CASCADES This is why a Forest Service "recreation area" is not adequate protection for the scenery, and why a North Cascades National Park is urgently needed. Glacier Peak from White Chuck River by Dick Brooks The Wild Cascades 2 SUNRISE ON A TIDAL WAVE When the North Cascades National Park is dedicated — and it will be, the only questions being which year and with how much acreage — many of those present at the ceremonies will breathe a prayer of thanks for the June 1965 issue of Sunset Magazine. For recent immigrants to the West who may not know, Sunset has a circulation numbered in the hundreds of thousands, and a readership in the millions. It's an influential magazine. People build houses, cook meals, and plan vacations from Sunset. So, what was on the cover of the June Sunset ? A photograph of a couple of kids poking around the shores of Lyman Lake, with Bonanza and clouds beyond. And a question: "DOES WASHINGTON GET THE NEXT NATIONAL PARK?" What was inside the June Sunset ? A full 14 pages on "Our Wil­ derness Alps. " A two-page color-spread of Glacier Peak from Image Lake, a full-page map of our proposed park and recreation area, three large photos by Tom Miller of peaks and meadows, and three more by Bob and Ira Spring and the editors. And many thousands of words about the geography and places to go — and about the need for protection. Very much about the need for protection. We park protagonists have done some publishing about our pro­ posal, and are going to do some more soon, but when the score is added up, the June 1965 Sunset will be counted one of the decisive blows.
