We're heading out to the Pacific Northwest this summer for a few weeks, with a side cruise to Alaska. We don't want to waste four days driving, say, to Seattle, and then wasting four days driving back. It's a six hour nonstop flight to Seattle. We've been to most of the states between here and there for work and play. I haven't been to Idaho, but my wife has. I hope you actually get off the tour bus and take a hike. There are some wonderful things to see out there but the best ones are more than 100 yards from the parking lot. Same with Alaska. In Oregon I liked the area around Mt. Hood the best. Great hikes and we had a really nice house we rented. This is looking up from the creek out back http://gfretwell.com/ftp/Oregon/Mt%20Hood/Cabin.jpg If you don't mind a 700' vertical climb and some flat walking on the Pacific Coast trail, this view is a nice "reward". (Top Spur trail) http://gfretwell.com/ftp/Oregon/Mt%2...top%20spur.jpg I would skip Bend unless you like extinct volcanos. If you are going to the beach, Yahats is better than Cannon Beach or anything closer to Portland. (unless you really like tourist traps) but Cannon Beach does have it's charm. You aren't getting in the water anyway, not without a wet suit. http://gfretwell.com/ftp/Oregon/Pac%...h%20sunset.jpg You can build a fire on Cannon Beach. http://gfretwell.com/ftp/Oregon/Pac%...%20Bea ch.jpg Bend has the Erickson aircraft museum. |
