Morphology

North + Cascades + national + park

The phrase is compositionally built from 'North' + 'Cascades' + 'national' + 'park' and straightforwardly denotes a government-run park located in the northern part of the Cascade mountain range; a B1 learner who knows those words can infer this basic meaning. Specific local or historical details (e.g., in Washington State, alpine wilderness) are additional background knowledge but do not affect the transparent, place‑naming composition.

Etymology

The name North Cascades National Park comes from the word North because it is in the northern part of mountains called the Cascades, an area known for steep peaks and many waterfalls. So the name tells you it is a park that protects wild mountains and many waterfalls.
