Ponies at North Cascades National Park, Washington

Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, Spitfire, and Fluttershy are taking in the epic view from Cascade Pass, in the incredibly rugged North Cascades National Park, in northern Washington state. The North Cascades are the most rugged mountain range in the contiguous United States (in terms of prominence and depth of valleys), and has over 300 glaciers, more than any other park in the lower 48 states (more than 4 times that of Glacier National Park). More than half the glaciers in the lower 48 states are concentrated in this mountainous wilderness region called the North Cascades. Washington state as a whole has over 500 glaciers, more than any other state outside of Alaska. This rugged mountainous region is a hiker's paradise. Over 400 miles of trails traverse through the park.

This view in the photo was taken from Cascade Pass, arguably the most popular hike in the park. The views from the pass are stupendous, and only get better above the pass on the Sahalie Arm.
