Natural Wonders and City Spectacles Await you in Washington State
While some people visit Washington state for its city skyline and historical centres, many take a trip to this Northwestern state for its natural majesty. Home to a breathtaking volcano, mountains that touch the clouds, lush forests and the vast Puget Sound, Washington is one vacation destination that will keep you coming back time and time again to discover more. Whether you consider yourself a city slicker or an outdoorsman, travel to Washington for an enthralling, exciting vacation.
Take the whole family on a boat or kayak ride at the Puget Sound, the 1.6 million acre waterway that spans 12 counties and features clear blue waters and stunning wildlife. Many harbors on the sound offer whale watching tours, as orcas, blue whales, and other underwater giants are frequently spotted in the area. Stop at any of the eight national parks connected to the Sound to discover more of the lush landscape of Washington state.
For more outdoor adventuring, Mount St. Helens in southwestern Washington is a massive volcano that erupted as recently as 1980. Catch a helicopter and soar over the mouth of the volcano--an experience that can’t be replicated anywhere else. The surrounding Gifford Pinchot National Forest offers hiking, walking trails, and areas to picnic and relax as you take in the grandeur of the landscape.
Of course, no trip to Washington would be complete without a visit to Seattle.
