North Cascades - National Park Blanket Square
Pattern Inspiration:
This year, 2016, is the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service. Smart Knits - a knitting group out of Logan, Utah - thought that a great way to celebrate the National Park Service and the sublime lands that it protects was to design a National Parks blanket. The blanket is made up of 60 blanket squares - one to celebrate each of the 59 National Parks and one square to celebrate the National Park Service itself.
The North Cascades are sometimes referred to as the American Alps. North Cascades National Park, established in 1968, is full of glaciered peaks and forested valleys with nearly 400 miles of trail inbetween. The square features Mount Shuksan, a non-volcanic massif that is one of the most photographed peaks in the Cascade Range. The southeast side of Mount Shuksan is home to Sulphide Creek Falls, one of the tallest waterfalls in North America.
