The Pacific Northwest stacks rainforest, glaciated volcanoes and a wild coast within a few hours of one city. Here's a week-long loop from Seattle.
The route
Seattle → Mount Rainier → Olympic National Park → the coast → south toward Portland.
The highlights
- Mount Rainier — wildflower meadows at Paradise beneath the glaciated peak.
- Olympic — rainforest, alpine Hurricane Ridge and a wild Pacific shore in one park.
- The Oregon Coast — 350 miles of publicly-owned, sea-stack-studded coastline.
Extend the trip south with Bend and Crater Lake, the deepest, bluest lake in the country.
