Music: "Homebound" by Jag Mon, 4 Oct 2010 14:00:00 GMT no 3:57 North Cascades National Park We visit the northern boundary of the North Cascades, where the park meets the Canadian border at a campground called Hozomeen. Reaching Hozomeen isn’t always easy; you can take a boat trip up Ross Lake, go hiking, or drive down a bumpy gravel road through British Columbia. But as you’ll hear, it’s well worth the effort. Today, we meet with two interpreters—one American, one Canadian—who spend their summers working in Hozomeen and have a unique partnership found nowhere else. http://www.nps.gov/noca/photosmultimedia/upload/Episode4_Laura_and_AJ_2.mp3 We visit the northern boundary of the North Cascades, where the park meets the Canadian border at a campground called Hozomeen.
