It’s Fall in the Northwest

 

Some think of the Northeast States with the brilliant colors of the trees as the forests there lose their leaves.  The northwestern States have their beautiful Fir Tree Forests that remain dark green year round.  The surprise to many is the number of deciduous trees in the northwest forests along the rivers that give brilliant colors in the fall.  Come visit and see the wonder of it all.

 

The other great activity in the Northwest in the fall is visiting wineries.  It’s winemaking time in the northwest.  There are hundreds of wineries in the northwest to visit and taste their wine.

IndexMountain-5-07Our Goal

Our goal is to give you quality visitor information to use as you travel in the northwest. We want to help you find the restaurants, accommodations, parks, scenic drives, scenic byways, and special places you may want to see while visiting the states of Washington, Oregon, northern California or the other states in the northwest while traveling by car or RV.  Our mission is to offer creative alternatives for your travels along the roads of our Great Pacific Northwest.  When you travel in Washington State you can expect scenes like shown in the photo above.  It is of a snow covered peak in the Cascade Mountains on US Highway-2.  It is typical of the beautiful scenery of the Pacific Northwest.

 

We Travel

Unlike other sources of travel information we travel in the Washington, Oregon, and California region as well as in the other states in the northwest and recommend lodging, restaurants, services and attractions that we have personally used or that have been highly recommended to us.  We only include places we would revisit.  We are not locals, selling our own area; we are visitors with a visitor’s prospective. 

 

Information about Wineries

We have always considered this site’s focus to be the I-5 corridor of the Pacific Northwest.  We had enough questions about the wine industry that we decided to add wine country to our site.  Since Washington’s Wine Country is in eastern Washington we decided to bring both online this year.  This fast growing northwest industry is a work in process, both the industry and this section of our web site.  For more information about wineries and eastern Washington click on the links below.

For Washington State we have information on ferry trips travelers can take to get the feel of crossing Puget Sound and riding on the ferries of the largest ferry fleet in the United States.  Visit our Ferry loop day trips page.  Also see the opportunities of riding the ferries into the San Juan Islands.

City Information

For both Washington and Oregon we have listed nearly every city in each state and its location.  We have also linked the city pages for those cities we have online at this time.  We have some of the cities in the Province of British Columbia, Canada and we are working on getting more information online.

The Pacific Coast is a focal point for locals as well as for those who travel to the northwest.  We have included information about US Highway 101 mile by mile from Olympia, Washington as it winds around the Olympic Peninsula and down the Pacific Coast to Los Angeles, California.

US Highway 101 in Washington starting at Olympia.  You can click from page to page, following US-101 from its northern beginning in Olympia to its Southern end in Los Angeles, California.

 

We also have a page on the Pacific Beaches the will give you ideas on what facilities are available along the beaches.
