Kangaroo Ridge, Silver Star Mountain, Wine Spires, North Cascades Scenic Highway, June 2015

The views along the North Cascades Scenic Highway are among the most beautiful anywhere.  This panorama was taken from the same spot where the Liberty Bell photo was taken (the next morning).  I've been there several times, the last time in June 2009. The names of the peaks aren't easy to identify from the topographic maps, but at least they have been updated to show the highway.  While at the North Cascades National Park visitor center, I bought Jack McLeod's book, The North Cascades Highway, which was quite helpful in identifying the names of the peaks.  The title of the post reverses them so right to left, they are Kangaroo Ridge, Silver Star Mountain and the Wine Spires (each peak being named for different wines, Chablis, Pernod, Burgundy and Chianti).  Vasiliki Tower is left of the Wine Spires.
