Three of the most influential political
figures in the history of the North Cascades. From left to right are
Senator Henry M. Jackson, Representative Lloyd Meeds, and Senator Warren
G. Magnuson. (Person in rear is unidentified.) Together they would help
shape the park complex as it was known today. In this posed shot, taken
around 1967, they survey a map of the proposed route of Highway 20,
which they vowed to support. (Courtesy of the University of
