Dreaming about Travel: Northwest

Adventure is out there, and one of the best places to seek it is in the Northwest United States. Forests, mountains, oceans, waterfalls, vibrant cities and more are waiting to be explored in this part of North America!  Where will you start? 

Mount Rainier, the tallest peak in the Pacific Northwest and the Cascade Range, and stands at 14,410 feet. An active volcano, Mt. Rainier is the most glaciated peak in the contiguous U.S and offers plenty of activities visitors expect in national parks. Some of the very best views can be found at Tipsoo Lake, where you can capture a reflection of the mountain in its translucent waters.

Located just a 30-minute drive east of Portland, Oregon, Multnomah Falls is one of the countless waterfalls found in the Columbia River Gorge. This magnificent waterfall plunges more than 600 feet as the “granddaddy” of the 77 waterfalls found on the Oregon side of the gorge – only three falls in the entire nation are higher! 

The second largest city by population in the Northwest, Portland, Oregon is a full-on city surrounded by some of the most gorgeous landscapes in the nation with Mount Hood and the Columbia River Gorge close by.  Some of the city’s best known attractions are Powell’s City of Books, Voodoo Doughnut, and the International Rose Test Garden.

As the largest city in the Northwest by population, Seattle is full of music, art, and adventure. In addition to being surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, the Emerald City is home to famed Pike Place Market where you can take in the quintessential Northwest experience, enjoy the sounds and sights of street performers, and watch the fisherman who toss the fresh catch of the day.

Western Canada’s largest city, often referred to as one of the most beautiful in the world, is surrounded by waterfront forest and gorgeous snow-capped mountains. Known as the “Manhattan with mountains,” Vancouver is full of sea-to-sky vistas at Stanley Park, artsy Granville Island as well as beaches found on its West Side, the Capilano Suspension Bridge and Cliffwalk, the Vancouver Art Gallery and Robson Street.
