Explore the Pacific Northwest

Volcanic mountains pierce the horizon throughout this beautiful state, but none as dramatically as Mount Rainier. Standing more than 4,300 meters above southern Washington, Mount Rainier is the tallest and most glaciated peak on the U.S. mainland. It’s also home to more wildflowers than one can imagine, making Mount Rainier National Park an ideal springtime destination. In summer, the park offers hikes among ancient giant trees in the Grove of the Patriarchs and stunning waterfall views, while winter brings opportunities for a ranger-led snowshoe tour.

Mount Rainier National Park fades into the distance as you drive north through Seattle. Sitting at the edge of the picturesque Puget Sound, the city’s core is surrounded by dynamic neighborhoods and punctuated by lakes. Park your car and catch a glimpse of the views from the Space Needle observation deck, nearly 160 meters above ground.

Be sure to stop by Pike Place Market, one of the oldest farmers markets in the USA. The market is worth a visit not only for its views of Puget Sound, but also for its vendors tossing fresh fish, produce and flower stalls, edibles from local purveyors, and the chance to get a cup of coffee at the original Starbucks nearby.

Head north to get to Anacortes, where you can set sail on a Washington State Ferry (reservations can be made in advance) for the scenic San Juan Islands. These wild islands dotting the Salish Sea are home to breathtaking beaches, lush forests and plenty of wildlife.

To the east an alpine landscape beckons in North Cascades National Park. The Park’s rugged beauty is characterized by jagged peaks, deep forested valleys, cascading waterfalls, and over 300 glaciers — more than any other U.S. park outside of Alaska. Thousands of voices from the past crackle to life in this alpine landscape, from Native Americans to early European and American fur traders and explorers to homesteaders and miners, all of which called this land home.
