The north end of Lake Chelan is about as close to Alaska scenery as you'll see in the lower 48. Looks like a fjord.
Stehekin. I was going to say - if they are up for a really cool hike, they can try to hike down from North Cascades (Rainy Pass) to Stehekin - instead of taking the boat up. It's 18 miles and net downhill, so it can be done in one day.

It's part of the PCT.

Yep, they have a ferry to Stehekin, I believe. They used to.

Its just gorgeous country. While it dont have Yellowstones geothermal features or wildlife, it has competitive scenery.
