I've created this page because I want to support the work of Washington's National Park Fund by raising money as part of my participation in the 2021 Climb for a Cause event through Outdoors@Amazon. I will be climbing to the top of Mt. Shuksan with 5 other Amazonians who are also raising money (each of us is raising $2,300). I personally feel very lucky and have visited the North Cascades on numerous occasions and have found it to be one of the most beautiful natural places I have visited. Those who have had the chance to see Diablo and Ross Lakes or hike around the surrounding area will know exactly what I mean. If you have read Jack Kerouac's novel Dharma Bums, you might recall Desolation Peak, where Kerouac spent 63 days during the summer of 1956 as a fire lookout. Desolation Peak is one of many famous peaks within the park.
