Spots to visit question in Extended Pacific Northwest http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20778678 en Fri, 09 Jan 2009 23:46:32 EDT Fri, 09 Jan 2009 23:46:32 EDT Re: Spots to visit question http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20852943 Gizy : Well, first weekend was Mount St. Helens.
Last weekend was Timberline and Mt. Hood.

And since it turned out to be a great day (the weather broke just as I hit the top), I went down to Hood River and home through the Gorge. Even made the side trip to Skamania Lodge and had lunch. Great food, great view, lousy service.

I'm home this weekend and probably next......so it's local stuff. The zoo sounds good, or seeing if the GPS unit can find a Starbucks in Snohomish :D

I left you at Grand coulee.so now you're in your inner tube heading down the columbia, past wenatchee, rock island, george, and it's time to get out (your toes are all wrinkly anyway) head west on I-90 to ellensburg, south on 82 to Yakima, west again on 12 through Naches and take the right fork onto 410 (chinook scenic highway) upto chinook pass (and the best view of Mt rainier (from the east side) then down to cayuse pass (southbound 123), if you have time a quick trip up to sunrise (best at sunrise) and on to the steven's canyon gate for Mt Rainier, Just inside is the grove of the Patriarchs (big trees that used to cover all of western WA/OR)
»www.nps.gov/archive/mora/trail/grove.htm
back out to 123>12>131 to see the back side of Mt' saint helens (just as cool but different then the NW side)
stop for a quick bite in Cougar and follow the lewis river rd (503) back to I-5 and back home.

Gorge = Check
Oregon Coast = Check

Mount St. Helens = Check
Spent 5 hours in the car driving both ways, but well worth it.

If you knew you only had about 4 weeks in the Portland area, and money and time were not object.......
I would question why I was in Portland of all places.....

It would really depend on the interest of the people involved. While I would love to head over to the Evergreen Air & Space Museum in McMinnville to see the Spruce Goose many would find that a complete waste of time. Some good sites to check out for suggestions might be Travel Oregon and the Official Washington State Tourism Site.
