Millions of years ago, Mother Nature sent a cascading stream crashing down a mountainside, cutting a path through rocks and ridges. It cut so deep that in some places canyon walls tower 4,000 feet above the river. Somewhere along the line, the cascading stream collided with the Pacific Rim of Fire, where volcanoes of astounding proportions uplifted majestic mountains. Some 200 inches of annual rainfall keeps lush the rainforests of the “cold jungle” that sits below 8,000-foot-high glacier capped peaks. Welcome to the Great Pacific Northwest, where the landscapes are unique to the geography and unlike anything else in America. The natural beauty of the region is unprecedented. Here you can experience forests, rivers, mountain wilderness, jungles, mountain top glaciers, wild Pacific Coast and seashore – all in one state!
This area was inhabited by Native Americans over 15,000 years before Europeans arrived in 1592 and centuries before woodsmen and pioneers discovered its unique geography. Native American influences still give the arts an intriguing nuance. Wineries, scenic roads, and historic landmark lodges with roaring fires and the promise of relaxation dot the landscape. As many as 77 waterfalls accompany your travels on one scenic drive. Magnificent alpine views, hundreds of hikes, beautiful nature walks and exhilarating climbs await the adventurous. Portland and Seattle are very sophisticated and environmentally friendly cities. In between, you’ll find authentic towns, unspoiled seacoast and dramatic views, all within comfortable driving distances to allow plenty of time for open-mouthed gaping!
