This Is the Most Underrated National Park in the U.S.

"Less than three hours by car from Seattle and sitting near the U.S.–Canada border in Washington state, I found this park is best known for its rugged terrain shaped by glaciers and waterways; over 300 glaciers cling to its jagged peaks, and the wild landscape features dense forest, clear lakes, and wildlife such as gray wolves and grizzly bears. I note that it boasts a landscape akin to Glacier National Park — with 12 times the number of glaciers — yet remained one of the less visited parks in 2023 with just over 40,000 visitors; it had 1,232 Google reviews, an average rating of 4.8, and a final score of 89.65." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.
