Pacific Northwest Vacations

The Pacific Ocean provides moderate temperatures all summer along the Pacific Northwest coastline and throughout the Cascade Mountain Range. The metropolitan areas of Portland Oregon, Seattle Washington, and Vancouver Canada provide a wide assortment of summer activities while the college town of Eugene Oregon is a top summer vacation destination as most great college towns are (also try Madison, WI and Boulder, CO).

The Pacific Northwest is home to the Mount Rainier National Park and Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. Adventure travelers will be met with downhill mountain biking, hiking, and white water rafting or find relaxation at a bed and breakfast in the Pacific Northwest wine region. Travel to Oregon, Washington, and Vancouver for a great summer vacation in the Pacific Northwest.
