Some of my favorite spots I’ve ever been! Growing up in WA/OR and there’s still so much I have yet to see and explore! If it’s your first time in the PNW, here’s some spots I would recommend:
1. Wahclella Falls: very quick and pretty easy hike to one of the most rewarding waterfalls!
2. Blue Pool: also a moderate/easy hike to one of the most beautiful (but FREEZING) bodies of water in Oregon!
3. Crater Lake: I feel like this one is self explanatory- so much to see and explore, an absolutely gorgeous national park!
4. Roam Wolf Sanctuary: in Shelton, WA. Such a lovely crew who owns it and takes amazing care of surrendered wolves/ wolf hybrids! You can also tour the facility and hike with the wolves!
5. Multnomah Falls: brief walk or can hike the loop and check out one of the most famous waterfalls in Oregon! A beautiful stop “gateway to the gorge”!
6. Mt. Rainier: another must see national park. Hiked Skyline Loop and it was literally life changing. There’s so many hikes for variable skill levels, stunning views, cute wildlife, the list goes on!
7. Bagby Hot Springs: another spot I love, a short hike leads you to refillable hot tubs with spring water, public and or private tubs! They were recently renovated and hoping people take care of this beautiful spot.
What are some of your must see spots in the PNW I can add to my list?
