The Pacific Northwest region of the United States is known for its stunning natural beauty, making it the perfect destination for a scenic road trip. From the rugged coastline to the towering mountains, there’s something for everyone to enjoy on an adventure through this region.

A must-see on any Pacific Northwest road trip is the Olympic National Park in Washington. This expansive park features miles of hiking trails, a rugged coastline, and stunning waterfalls. For a truly unique experience, take a soak in the natural hot springs at Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort.

The Pacific Northwest is one of the most beautiful parts of America, with mountains, glaciers, forests, and of course, lakes. If your preferred method of enjoying nature is rowing to the middle of a big, peaceful lake, then this area is a great option for your next getaway. Since you may not want to bother with bringing you passport, here are some beautiful lakes in Washington State where you can enjoy the Pacific Northwest without crossing the border

Lake Chelan

This lake’s 50.5-mile stretch is flanked by two towns on its north and south ends— Chelan, which is very tourist-friendly, in the south, and Stehekin in the north, which is only reachable by boat, seaplane, or ferry. In between the towns, the lake draws water adventurers every year and has lots of opportunities for different sports.

Pearrygin Lake

Pearrygin Lake in the Methow Valley is bordered by a state park named for the lake. From the state park, there is a large boat launch available throughout the boating season, and lots of campgrounds to boat to. There’s also swimming and fishing available to anyone who wants to take part.

Mowich Lake

The largest lake in Mount Rainier State Park, Mowich is fed mostly by snowmelt and is incredibly cold year-round. You can get there by driving all the way to the end of State Highway 165, and boating is only available to non-motorized boats but is a lovely experienced for canoers and kayakers among others.

When you think about going on a cruise, what comes to mind? You probably associate this fun vacation choice with the sun, warm weather, and beaches, which is usually true! However, if you are looking for a more natural and bare-bones experience for your next trip, why not consider a cruise in the Last Frontier?

Why You Should Do It

Alaskan cruises have grown in popularity in recent years as curious travelers have begun to discover all of the natural marvels which this northwestern US state bordering the Arctic Circle has to offer.

From glaciers to ice floes to small, charming towns on the coast, an Alaskan cruise breaks every notion of what you thought a cruise was and simultaneously offers a bevy of unique opportunities to those who choose to take one.

Where You’ll Go

A typical Alaskan cruise route leaves from Seattle, WA, or Vancouver, BC, and traces up the northwest coast to the fjords, inner passages, and glaciers of southeastern Alaska. There are often stops in cities and towns like Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan, great places to check out authentic Alaskan culture.

Would you consider taking an Alaskan cruise? This one-of-a-kind experience is sure to leave you stunned.
