I went to forestry school at the U of Washington.  We hiked in the Cascades all the time.  The North Cascades NP is particular is one wet place.   I have been on trips and camped next to a lake and never seen it due to fog and rain.   The weather is the biggest challenge.  There is no more beautiful place than the High Cascades in clear weather.   Now a lot of the good places require permits for camping over night.
