[edit] Plagarism

I removed a paragraph from the end of the article which was lifted straight off a tangentially-related non-profit organization:

A nonprofit partner of North Cascades National Park, the North Cascades Institute, seeks to inspire a closer relationship with nature through direct experiences in the natural world. Since 1986 the Institute has helped connect people, nature and community through science, art, literature and the hands-on study of natural and cultural history. In 2005, North Cascades Institute will open the North Cascades Environmental Learning Center. A partnership with the National Park Service and the City of Seattle, the Learning Center is surrounded by millions of acres of protected public lands. It will be a hub of discovery into one of the wildest, most biologically diverse landscapes in North America.

[edit] Photography

The article mentions Mt. Shuksan, one of the most-photographed mountains in the world. Can we get a photo of the famous Mt. Shuksan? Anybody?

See Mount Shuksan for photos, although this is the "classic" image of Shuksan. Someone needs to take a field trip to Mirror Lake or whatever that spot is called. -- BlueCanoe 02:06, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I uploaded mine recently and just saw this discussion. I replaced another image on the page, but it was by no means any judgement on that photo. Feel free to adjust as needed. -- Siradia 05:45, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
