Think you can hike in North Cascades during stay-home order? You can't, as of April 3

North Cascades National Park, Ross Lake National Recreation Area, and Lake Chelan National Recreation Area will be closed to park visitors beginning Friday, April 3, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

They will remain closed until further notice for the health and safety of visitors, workers and volunteers, according to a news release.

A park official said on Thursday that the park complex is following guidelines provided by the state Department of Health and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” order.

Denise Shultz, a ranger and chief of Visitor Services for the park complex, said staff law enforcement will enforce the closure.
