One day, Chris was on the search for a very rare animal: a single wolf that had made it to the western side of the North Cascade mountains. That day, to his amazement, he found a set of fresh tracks on a sandy riverbed. Wolves had been extinct here in Washington state for nearly a hundred years, so the find was incredible.   These mythical creatures are very slowly returning to the North Cascades. It's a sign of hope for both Jason Ransom, a biologist at the National Park, and Scott Schuyler from the Upper Skagit Indian Tribe. But it's taken a lot to get to this point, and there's still a long way to go before this place is truly healed. On his journey searching for this lone wolf, Chris asks the question: will the wildlife and human ecosystem make space for them as they trickle back? The image pictured is the first wolf track Chris found on the west side of the North Cascades that triggered the story told in this episode. This show would not be possible without listener support.

Don Striker, Superintendent of North Cascades National Park, goes into detail on his time in the National Park Service, sharing the ways nature brings people to tears (from Mount Rushmore to Denali), laughing about the hair-raising encounters  with wildlife (including a humorous yet tense squirrel episode), reminiscing on people who took a chance on him and were willing to promote a less conventional path, highlighting unique challenges such as reintroducing wolves into Yellowstone in the 1990s and sharing some unique insights into what makes North Cascades such a special place, and in some regards, an undiscovered gem.  North Cascades National Park, located 3 hours north of Seattle and categorized as the “American Alps” (think Sound of Music), not only has rugged and vast vertical terrain but is also a place of recreation, with Lake Chelan the second deepest lake in the US (behind Crater Lake). After this episode, your heart will be stirring to book a trip out to North Cascades. You can follow Who Runs This Park on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook or YouTube, can email us at info@whorunsthispark.com or check us out online at whorunsthispark.com. Who Runs This Park is hosted and produced by Maddie Pellman, with music by Danielle Bees.Sponsors:Granarly (Instagram): Go to granarly.com & use code WRTP15 to get 15% your next online purchase

In episode 94 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we discuss the importance of proper food storage when hiking and camping in bear country. If you haven't had a chance to listen yet, I recommend going back and tuning into episode 85, where I interview a wildlife biologist specializing in bears from Glacier National Park. He shares some great tips on safely recreating around bears and avoiding an encounter altogether. So, to build on that topic and focus on one of the primary ways bears and humans collide, I was excited to interview Holly Jalenski, the co-founder of Grub Can, about how she and her husband created a bear-safe food canister that's comfortable to carry. You'll hear us chat about what inspired them to design a new bear canister, how they're tested, and if they actually work when a bear gets their hands on them. Holly Jaleski and Jim Corning are a husband and wife backpacking duo. They've both been backpacking all over the US for over 40 years. They created Grubcan out of a desire for a bear-resistant container that fits comfortably inside or outside backpacks and opens easily without tools. Grubcan's are handmade in Flagstaff (and we love visitors!). Holly is the CCO at Grubcan. She is trained in wildlife rehabilitation and is the Director of a rescue ranch. Her parents instilled in her a respect and love for nature from an early age. She has been on the BLM Resource Advisory Council for many years as an advocate for preserving nature for the good of all. She is also a novelist and writes environmental fiction. Jim is an Aeronautical Engineer and has been designing and manufacturing airplane parts out of carbon fiber for 26 years; now, he's used his expertise to transform the bear-resistant container market.

A trip to Stehekin, tucked away in a valley in the North Cascades National Park complex, feels like a visit to an island. But instead of being completely surrounded by water, this remote village is hemmed in by spectacular alpine backcountry, making it impossible for cars or trucks to drive into or out of town.   Once frequented only by Native Americans on their trek through the mountains, this peaceful valley has been the site of sparse but consistent settlement since the late 19th century. With the National Park Service protecting the pristine area surrounding the few parcels of private land, the area feels like a land time forgot.   In this episode, we talk about our recent visit to Stehekin, what we did, where we stayed, and a bit of history about this unique area. We also provide information about other overnight accommodations in the area, transportation options, and a tip about where to find what we think are the best cinnamon rolls in the state of Washington.

Ah, the Cascade Loop Scenic Byway. This 440-mile route winds through the heart of Washington State's Cascade Mountains, revealing an abundance of natural beauty that is truly awe-inspiring. From the shore of Lake Chelan to the rugged peaks of North Cascades National Park, the landscape is both spectacular and diverse.   But the Cascade Loop is more than just a showcase of nature's wonders. We'll tell you about charming small towns along the way that offer a glimpse into the region's rich history and culture. Places like Leavenworth, with its Bavarian architecture, sausages and lively festivals, and Winthrop, with its Old West charm and cowboy spirit. Plus, Matt will take you on a culinary tour of the bakeries along the route and explain the differences between cinnamon rolls and morning buns.   In this episode, part one of our two-part series on the scenic drives through all three national parks in northwest Washington, we discuss the logistics and highlights of the Cascade Loop Scenic Byway.   Here's a link to the map of the loop that Karen promised Matt would draw.   Our Patreon account is now up and running with bonus content.

City traffic, gas stations, coffee chains, grocery stores, and fast food restaurants that congest our cities and suburbs can at times be overbearing when trying to escape the noise of our everyday lives. To be fair, of course these constructions have made life more convenient for the average citizen. We all need to be efficient with our time in order to effectively get work done as well as have time for other commitments. For those looking to escape to somewhere quiet however, and truly see the beauty that is America, any of the 63 designated national parks are a sight to see, and an experience that you will never forget.

Samantha Claire Sayers was 27 years old when she disappeared while hiking alone on August 1, 2018 in the North Cascades National Park in Washington state. She was last seen climbing down the southwest side of the mountain. No trace of Samantha has ever been found, and she has never been seen again. Samantha is described as a white female, small build, with hazel/green eyes and a bald head with star tattoos. If you have any information regarding her disappearance, please contact the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office at 425-388-3393.

We spent a long weekend exploring the small central Washington community of Winthrop, Washington. This town feels like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid could come racing through town, spurs driving their horses to avoid the posse hot on their tails. Think Leavenworth but replace a Bavarian vibe with the Old West one. It's also the gateway to the beautiful North Cascades National Park!!!!https://smalltownwashington.com/things-to-do-in-winthrop-wa/

58-year-old Ritchie Collins went missing in early 2019. The exact date of his disappearance is unknown. A neighbor reported seeing Ritchie at his home in Bellingham, WA, but that exact date is fuzzy. However, he had not texted or spoken to friends or family members since March of 2019. Ritchie has been described by those who knew him best as a loner, so it would not be uncommon for a few days or even weeks to go by without hearing from him. Ritchie's family had been trying to get ahold of him for weeks. Then on April 30, 2019, Ritchie's car was found parked at the Colonial Creek Campground at North Cascades National Park. The keys to his car had been placed on top of the vehicle. According to a park ranger, the vehicle had been there for weeks. We first brought you Ritchie's story in March of 2020. When we left off at the end of that episode, there were so many questions left unanswered. Over the July 4th weekend of 2021, some children playing at a camp area several miles from where Ritchie's car was found discovered the first clue that would help find Ritchie. Ritchie's daughter graciously joined us to give us an update on what has transpired and where her dad's case stands today.If you have any information regarding the disappearance and death of Ritchie Collins, please contact Detective Ken Gates at 360-778-6613 or contact the Whatcom County Sheriff's Office directly at 360-778-6600.This episode was sponsored by:Upstart- Find out how Upstart can lower your monthly payments today when you go to Upstart.com/Vanished.Noom- Sign up for your trial at noom.com/VANISHED.Nutrafol- Go to Nutrafol.com and use promo code VANISHED to get $15 off your first order and free shipping.Listen ad-free with Wondery+.

Only a three-hour drive from Seattle, North Cascades National Park looks like you’ve traveled all the way to Switzerland. With its 300 glaciers and soaring mountain peaks, North Cascades is a wilderness park best explored on foot during the summer months. We discuss our favorite hikes, as well as a unique park lodge in the tiny town of Stehekin that can only be reached by boat, seaplane, or on foot.

How do you feel when someone starts talking about bats? Warm and fuzzy? Uneasy? Disgusted? Cautiously curious? In the fourth episode of the Highland Wonders Podcast, The Secret Life of Bats, Roger Christophersen of the North Cascades National Park addresses our ideas about bats, and sparks a sense of wonder at these flying, fuzzy, leathery insectivores. To learn more about bats, how and where they live, and how we all can support bat populations (and why we should), check out the Highland Wonders Podcast wherever you normally get your podcasts! And now, a story from our intrepid Nature Detective. Enjoy! Jack, Nature Detective: season 1, episode 4: The Secret Life of Bats Jack's family is enjoying a weekend camping in the highlands, escaping the heat of summer for a few days, and exploring the forests and lakes of the Okanogan. As they sit around the campfire, they notice something winging through the air in the little clearing, fluttering here and there. It's flight pattern seems different from a bird, and the creature itself is bigger than the insects that Jack normally sees. “Eek! It's a bat!” Jack's mom exclaims. Jack gazes into the fire, thinking. “What are bats, anyway?” Jack thinks about what he knows about bats, trying to sort them into a group with other animals he knows. Recently, he had a chance to get a close-up look at a bat during the day, as it clung to his house, sleeping. It was definitely fuzzy, with a pointy little snout. “I don't think they are birds because they don't lay eggs. If they DID lay eggs, how would that even work? They hang upside down, and don't have nests. The eggs would just crack on the ground! That would be bad.” “Are they insects? Some insects are furry, like bumble bees. Maybe bats are insects?” Jack is not sure. He thinks, “Bees and other bugs don't take very good care of their babies. But I heard that bat moms carry their babies around and feed them.” Jack glances over at his mom, who is giving his little sister a piggy back over to their tent. “Maybe bats are more like people. Mammals. Mammals?!? FLYING MAMMALS?!?! Is that possible?” When they get home, Jack asks his mom to look up pictures of bats on the internet. One image of a bat skeleton pops up and Jack notices that the wing looks a lot like a hand - it even has a little thumb! He also notices their ears, “My what big ears you have, little bat!” Jack cackles at his own Little Red Riding Hood reference. So far, the evidence points to bats being mammals. But Jack still has a lot of questions. “Do bats have predators? Why do bats have big ears? Do they hibernate in the winter or go south like birds do? How high can they fly? I can't wait to learn more!” Luckily, Roger Chistophersen, of the North Cascades National Park has the answers to some of Jack's questions in the most recent, very fascinating, Highland Wonders Podcast!

My guest on this episode is photographer and filmmaker Scott Kranz. In 2015, Scott walked away from a burgeoning career as a litigator to become a full-time commercial and adventure photographer focusing on outdoor sports, mountain climbing, travel, and landscapes. ⁣ Scott discusses how he shifted towards a life built around a passion for the outdoors and shares highlights from his book 50 Peaks, which documents the epic feat he undertook in 2018 to summit 50 unique peaks in the North Cascades National Park. I was stoked to have this interview with Scott. He's someone I've admired since joining Instagram. Not only is he a fantastic photographer, but he is also an awesome human being. ⁣ The book is available at Scott's website scott-kranz.com. 50% of the net profits go to support the Washington National Park Fund.

Ritchie Collins went missing in early 2019. The exact date of his disappearance is currently unknown. A neighbor reported seeing him at his home in Bellingham, WA but the exact date on that is fuzzy. However, he had not texted anyone since March of 2019. Ritchie has been described by those who knew him best as a loner, so it would not be uncommon for a few days or even weeks to go by without hearing from him. Ritchie’s family had been trying to get ahold of him for weeks but then on April 30th, Ritchie’s car was found parked at the Colonial Creek Campground at North Cascades National Park. The keys to his car were on top of the vehicle. According to a park ranger, the vehicle had been there for weeks. The park where Ritchie’s car was located is filled with trails that stretch for seemingly endless miles. So far, after extensive searches, no sign of Ritchie has been found. As they began looking closer at the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of Ritchie Collins, they discovered numerous bizarre clues that don't add up to any one single conclusion.If anyone has information regarding the whereabouts of Ritchie Collins, you are urged to contact Detective Ken Gates at 360-778-6613.This episode was co-researched and written by Marissa Jones and Erika Gwynn.

Using national park settings as a backdrop for these programs can serve double duty – the resources are the perfect educational tool,  and the settings can really connect youth to nature. These settings seem to resonate with students', teachers', and adults' innate thirst for nature. Saul Weisberg, who helped found the North Cascades Institute in 1986, has seen students from every walk of life positively affected by their experiences in North Cascades National Park and other public lands that the Institute uses as outdoor classrooms. Saul joins us today to talk about the benefits of these outdoor programs. Erika Zambello also checks in with Friends of Katahdin Woods and Waters and their work in the national monument.

Description: Becky Lomax is the author of The Moon Guidebook USA National Parks - The Complete Guide To All 59 Parks. Just in time for National Parks Week, Danielle and Bryan talk with Becky about her favorite itineraries, tips for families planning summer trips, and her lifelong love affair with the National Park Service (NPS). For summer travel, Becky recommends looking to the mountain parks because they can offer some cooler hiking, biking and scenic drives. Some favorites on the east coast include Acadia National Park, Shenandoah National Park, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Other popular options are Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, Glacier National Park, and Rocky Mountain National Park. Parks generally to avoid in the summer and save for cooler months include Saguaro National Park, Death Valley National Park, Joshua Tree National Park, and Big Bend National Park. At Bryan’s request, Becky dreams up some wonderful road trip itineraries if you want to hit multiple destinations in one vacation. East Coast: Shenandoah and Great Smoky Mountains connected by the Blue Ridge Parkway Central Mountains: Yellowstone and Grand Tetons with either Glacier or Rocky Mountain California: Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park and Yosemite National Park Washington State: Olympic National Park, North Cascades National Park, and Mount Rainier National Park To enjoy the beauty of the national parks without the crowds, visit lesser known destinations such as Crater Lake National Park in southern Oregon, Lassen Volcanic National Park in northern California, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Wind Cave National Park, and Theodore Roosevelt National Park. If you do find yourself in a crowded spot, remember to hit the trails early for the best experience. Becky’s best recommendation is to take a deep dive into one park at a time. This approach cuts back on driving and gives you the time to go hiking, do some wildlife watching in the evening, to try fishing or kayaking or to swim in the lakes. As she says, “when you can sit in one park and have a whole plethora of experiences you go away essentially just loving that park because you've had such a rich, rich, full time there.” Discussion includes the following: National Park Week activities and free entry day - April 20th to the 28th (3:11) Reflections on National Junior Ranger Day (6:10) How to make the most of your family’s NPS vacation with suggested itineraries and lesser known parks (6:53) One of Becky’s early memories of backpacking as a child in Mount Rainier (15:41) Witnessing the effects of climate change and glaciers melting (18:48) Night Skies, the NPS program that protects nighttime views and one of Becky’s favorite park offerings (22:35) Becky’s favorite memories from Grand Canyon National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Kenai National Park, and Yellowstone National Park including a breathtaking moment with the Northern Lights reflecting off a glacier (26:06) Actions: Subscribe to our podcast wherever podcasts are available or from our website https://www.everybodysnationalparks.com/ We also want to hear about your adventures.

So you listened to episode 58 and you’re convinced of the benefits of outdoor play (https://yourparentingmojo.com/outdoor/) . But you’re a grown-up. You don’t play outdoors. And you don’t know anything about nature.  How can you possibly get started in helping your child to play outdoors more? There are a number of books out there on getting outside with children – some arguably more well-known than this one, but I have to say that Dr. Scott Sampson’s book How to Raise a Wild Child is the BEST book I’ve seen on this topic because it balances just the right amount of information on why it’s important to get outside, with just enough pointers on how to do it, without overwhelming you with hundreds of options to choose between.  And it turns out that you don’t need to know a thing at all about The Environment to have a successful outing with children! If you’ve been wishing you could get outdoors more but just don’t know where to start, then this episode – and book! – are for you. Other shows referenced in this episode 058: What are the benefits of outdoor play? (https://yourparentingmojo.com/outdoor/)   References Gopnik, A. (2009).

For those of you who get my fortnightly newsletter, which you can receive by subscribing to the show YourParentingMojo.com, you know that I have a bit of a penchant for the outdoors. I went on a 10 day backpacking trip across North Cascades National Park in September, and I’m trying to pass on my love of the outdoors to my daughter, most of our newsletters have a photo at the top and pretty often they go out with an image of her sitting in a stream or clambering over boulders or up to her thighs and a pond wearing waders, of course. And so today we’re going to talk with Dr Scott Sampson, the author of how to raise a wild child, the art and science of falling in love with nature, which I have to say is the best book I’ve read on this topic in terms of balancing information about the science of children in nature with a not overwhelming number of actions that parents can take to raise a wild child. Dr Sampson has the honor of being the first paleontologist we’ve interviewed on this show. He earned both his master’s in anthropology and a phd in zoology from the University of Toronto. He’s currently the president and CEO of Science World British Columbia, which is a pretty cool hands on science museum in Vancouver. And if his name sounds familiar to the parents of preschoolers, it’s because he also hosts the PBS kids series dinosaur train. I’m so excited to discuss this topic that’s so close to my heart. Welcome Dr Sampson. Dr. Sampson:                    (https://www.temi.com/editor/t/CcufTAn40AG7-jXFnxZhL0_pKUbnGS9nd1A3IhtMc6sC61UyPRgl8Xs9tO6sk7LiGCXfvPe68ozDGa66mzwy8nxcrYs?loadFrom=DocumentDeeplink&ts=116.38)                    Thank you very much, Jen.

Grizzly Times speaks with Jack Oeflke. Imagine the return of grizzly bear in Washington's vast North Cascades wilderness, where it fulfills its ancient role in the ecosystem! That is what Jack Oeflke of the North Cascades Park Complex discusses in this inspiring show. Ample habitat is available to support a population of several hundred grizzly bears, in an ecosystem that is on a par with Yellowstone and Glacier, but now lacks a reproducing population of bears. Public support is strong for the proposal to reintroduce bears, which could occur in the next few years. A final decision is expected by the end of 2017.  Join the conversation!

The scenery includes a large area of 30cm/pixel aerial photoreal terrain, featuring the various orchards, Alpaca ranches, and small farms in the area. One special point of interest in the area is the massive Glacier rock quarry, located a few miles to the southeast of the field. And what is possibly a first for an FS airport: multiple elevations. Twin Oaks is carved from the side of a gentle slope, and as a result, the Starks' house, garage, and two of the hangars are on a hill overlooking the rest of the field. Lead developer Bill Womack has obsessively researched and photographed the airport over the last few years, with the enthusiastic support of owners Bob and Betty Stark. We're proud to offer the definitive sim rendition of one of Oregon's aviation jewels.
