  • Cascades Butterfly Project North Cascades National Park Resource Brief - 2011
    CASCADES BUTTERFLY PROJECT NORTH CASCADES NATIONAL PARK RESOURCE BRIEF - 2011 Cascades Butterfly Project Climate change is expected to affect mountain ecosystems in many ways. Scientists predict that warmer summers may result in earlier snowmelt, more frequent forest fires, and changes in distributions of plants and animals. Although some ecosystem changes have already been observed, (e.g. melting glaciers), many future impacts remain uncertain.

  • Okanogan County Was Created in 1888 from Stevens County, and Is an Indian Word for "Rendezvous
    Okanogan County was created in 1888 from Stevens County, and is an Indian word for "rendezvous. It is situated in the north central part of the state west of the Cascaded and bounded on the north by Canada. The first American post in the state was Fort Okanogan established in 1811 by Astor's Pacific Fur Company. In 1859 the county experienced a gold rush when placer gold was discovered on the Similkameen River. Steamboats reached the town of Okanogan two months of the year in the 1880s, but it was not until 1915 that the county had regular transportation service when the Great Northern Railroad ran a branch line from Wenatchee to Okanogan. Today, mining is an important part of the county's economy along with timber products and agriculture. Bounded by: British Columbia, Canada (N), Ferry County (E), Lincoln, Grant and Douglas counties (S), and Chelan, Skagit, and Whatcom counties (W).

Box 156 Un ? ve rs i ty Stat i on Seattle, './n. 98 105 SCRIPT FOR NORTH CASCAOES SLIDE SHOW (75 SI Ides) I ntroduct Ion : The North Cascades fiountatn Range In the State of VJashington Is a great tangled chain of knotted peaks and spires, glaciers and rivers, lakes, forests, and meadov;s, stretching for a 150 miles - roughly from Pt. fiainier National Park north to the Canadian Border, The h undreds of sharp spiring mountain peaks, many of them still unnamed and relatively unexplored, rise from near sea level elevations to seven to ten thousand feet. On the flanks of the mountains are 519 glaciers, in 9 3 square mites of ice - three times as much living ice as in all the rest of the forty-eight states put together. The great river valleys contain the last remnants of the magnificent Pacific Northwest Rain Forest of immense Douglas Fir, cedar, and hemlock. f'oss and ferns carpet the forest floor, and wild• life abounds. The great rivers and thousands of streams and lakes run clear and pure still; the nine thousand foot deep trencli contain• ing 55 mile long Lake Chelan is one of tiie deepest canyons in the world, from lake bottom to mountain top, in 1937 Park Service Study Report declared that the North Cascades, if created into a National Park, would "outrank in scenic quality any existing National Park in the United States and any possibility for such a park." The seven iiiitlion acre area of the North Cascades is almost entirely Fedo rally owned, and managed by the United States Forest Service, an agency of the Department of Agriculture, The Forest Ser• vice operates under the policy of "multiple use", which permits log• ging, mining, grazing, hunting, wt Iderness, and alI forms of recrea• tional use, Hov/e ve r , the 1937 Park Study Report rec ornmen d ed the creation of a three million acre Ice Peaks National Park ombracing all of the great volcanos of the North Cascades and most of the rest of the superlative scenery.

  • October 1992 the President's Message October 1992
    THE WILD CASCADES OCTOBER 1992 THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE OCTOBER 1992 The June, 1992 issue of The Wild Cascades sounded the alarm about political interference by Senator Gorton in National Park Service (NPS) management of Lake Chelan National Recreation Areea (LCNRA). As you recall, the senator requested legislation attached to the Senate appropriations bill that would block land acquisition in LCNRA and force consideration of selling land back to previous owners. Many of you put aside the snow seal, hiking guides, and USGS quads and wrote to protest this action. I am happy to report that a compromise has been struck with your help and the help of Dale Crane (NW Representative, National Parks and Conservation Association), Senator Adams, and Congressmen McDermott and Morrison and probably others whose role we do not know. (See "Senator Gorton — Compromise", pg. 6, this issue.) Having achieved a compromise, it was time to head for the hills. Grant and Jim McConnell provided the stimulus with their invitation to visit them in Stehekin. I had the opportunity to meet the new Fast Lady (of the Lake ) — a vessel that cuts in half the travel time taken by the Fat Lady and its predecessor, the Old Lady. For those of you who have not seen her, the stainless steel hull and superstructure give her the look of a medieval Madonna in armor. Fortunately, her wake and noise have not been as disastrous as I feared. My vantage point was, of course, the Fat Lady, who makes her way to Stehekin more graciously and ponderously (costs less, too).

Bagley Lakes, in the foreground, are on a Pleistocene recessional moraine that is now the parking lot for Mount Baker Ski Area. Just below Sherman Peak, an erosional remnant on the left skyline, is Boulder Glacier. Park and Rainbow Glaciers share the area below the main summit (Grant Peak, 10,778 ft) . Boulder, Park, and Rainbow Glaciers drain into Baker Lake, which is out of the photo on the left. Mazama Glacier forms under the ridge that extends to Hadley Peak on the right. (See related article, p. 3 and Fig. 2, p. 5.) Table Mountain, the flat area just above and to the right of center, is a truncated lava flow.

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.

He was known by the name of Juan de Fuca, and the name was subsequently given to a portion of the waters he discovered. As far as known he made no official report of his discoveries, but he told navi­ gators, and from these men has descended to us the knowledge thereof. Richard Hakluyt, in 1600, gave some account of Fuca and his voyages and discoveries. Michael Locke, in 1625, pub­ lished the following statement in England. "I met in Venice in 1596 an old Greek mariner called Juan de Fuca, but whose real name was Apostolus Valerianus, who detailed that in 1592 he sailed in a small caravel from Mexico in the service of Spain along the coast of Mexico and California, until he came to the latitude of 47 degrees, and there finding the land trended north and northeast, and also east and south east, with a broad inlet of seas between 47 and 48 degrees of latitude, he entered therein, sailing more than twenty days, and at the entrance of said strait there is on the northwest coast thereto a great headland or island, with an exceeding high pinacle or spiral rock, like a pillar thereon." Fuca also reported find­ ing various inlets and divers islands; describes the natives as dressed in skins, and as being so hostile that he was glad to get away.
