This week is National Park Week! The hashtag is #NationalParkWeek. America has so many beautiful parks to visit!
Atteen is sharing two wonderful national parks today!
North Cascade National Park
Here is Atteen's trip to North Cascade! North Cascade National Park was established in 1968 and is found in the state of Washington. It is 684,000 acres large and has tall mountains, beautiful valleys, and gorgeous lakes. Tourists might see black bears, black-tailed deer, mountain lions, bobcats, marmots, and birds. This national park has more glaciers than anywhere else in the lower 48 states. It has approximately 300 glaciers. The glacial melt makes the lake look that unusual blue color. It is especially pretty on sunny days.

Olympic National Park
Atteen and her family also visited Olympic National Park while they were in the state of Washington. This nearly million-acre national park has four regions: the coastline along the Pacific Ocean, a temperate rainforest, an alpine (or mountain) area, and drier forest areas. The giant Sitka fir trees can be viewed along the hiking trails. They can grow to be 300 feet tall!
Tourists might see Roosevelt elk, snowshoe hares, pocket gophers, and hundreds of different types of birds.
