Incredible North West Adventure
Gaze out at the Pacific Ocean as you cruise along the stunning Pacific Coast Highway. Visit Redwood National Forest, drive through a real tree, and stay in Weaverville, CA—known for its classic western culture that’ll take you back to the frontier days.
Hike through Burney Falls and Mount Shasta, and ride through breathtaking volcanic topography. See the bright teal beauty of Crater Lake, and visit some of the state’s most famous volcanoes including Mount Rainer and Mount St. Helens. Take backroads that’ll lead you to waterfalls, glacial rivers, and unmatched mountain views. This is truly a trip of a lifetime.
I had a chance to visit the Redwood National Forest, ride down the Pacific Coast Highway, and see some of the most famous volcanoes in the USA. It was an unforgettable and life changing experience. Cynthia Trainer
