We spent about a month in Washington State exploring its diverse landscapes from the temperate rainforests and rugged coastline, to quaint Bavarian Villages, vibrant cities, and striking glacier peaked mountains.
Within its one million acres of protected land, you’ll be surrounded by the call of the rushing rivers, shimmering lakes, cascading waterfalls, rolling surf and old-growth forests.
Mt Rainier is one of five active volcanoes located in the Cascade Range, east of Seattle, Washington. The other four are Mount Baker, Glacier Peak, Mt. Adams, and Mt. St. Helens.
Tucked between the Cascade mountain range to the east and the San Juan Islands to the west, historical La Conner is a favorite weekend getaway for Seattle residents.
With dramatic alpine views to rival Glacier National Park, North Cascades National Park is one of the coolest places to visit in Washington State and offers a more secluded experience.
Leavenworth is a tastefully done tourist town with a lot of soul and plenty of reasons to enjoy a little taste of Bavaria. And of course, a few pretzels, bratwurst, and steins.
