Camping - Newhalem, WA

We wrapped up summer 2013 with another camping trip to Newhalem, WA in August. This is located in the North Cascades National Park along side the Skagit river.

In the evening, went on the River Loop Trail and watched a ranger show. We went to the Ladder Creek Falls at night. It was so spooky to cross the foot suspension bridge with water gurgling underneath.

Next morning, we visited the north cascades visitor center. It provides a lot of information about the mountain range, wildlife and history of this region.

We did the Ladder Creek Falls trail in the morning again and took a peek at the Skagit Hydroelectric Project situated there.
