There is something about a cast iron skillet that tugs at the heart of any outdoorsman. It’s almost as if its burley black surface has retained a hint of every fire it has hovered over and every dish it has cooked. Holding one, you can feel its history coursing through it, almost like it has a story it wants to tell over a couple of beverages by the bonfire. Well, it does have a story, one that is almost as old as recorded history.

Nothing feels small on the Skagit River. It emerges from the Cascade Mountains, the ridgelines rising suddenly and severely, compressing the landscape and framing the view with their immense, sharp mass. For much of its length, the river is wide enough that three or four drift boats could easily pass side by side with plenty of room to spare.

Grizzly bears - an icon of the West. A keystone predator that can weigh up to 600lbs. Their thick, lush fur can range from dark brown to nearly towhead blonde. They are capable of surviving the harshest of conditions, if allowed to. They once ranged from Northern Alaska to Central Mexico, but while Alaska and western British Columbia still have large numbers of bears, their southern range has shrunk dramatically to just a handful of areas in the lower 48, including Yellowstone in WY, MT & ID.

For the 7.5 million residents of WA state, most, if not all, have used or will use I-90 at some point. This interstate runs right through the southern end of the North Cascade mountains, home to great populations of wild species. As you drive east from Seattle, there is a bridge spanning the interstate just before Easton. This bridge is a wildlife crossing that will help keep these animals safe from vehicles. The bridge is there thanks to, Conservation Northwest. Roosevelt Elk, Wa State, Natural Heritage, Ancient Forest, North Cascades, Grizzly Bear, Zoology

North Cascades National Park counts more than 300 glaciers along this northwestern spine of mountains-and that's just inside the park boundaries. The North Cascades are the most glaciated place in the country outside of Alaska, but this ice-clad range has remained relatively under the radar compared to places such as Montana's Glacier National Park or Mount Rainier in the South Cascades.

Around campfires, bar tops, or anywhere that people gather, his name tends to pop up.
