Destination information
British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Montana and Idaho make up the Pacific Northwest – a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts still relatively undiscovered by mass tourism. There’s plenty to see and do, including hiking and biking, sea kayaking, white-water rafting, golfing, whale watching and supreme skiing in winter. National parks include the world-famous Yellowstone or head to the San Juan Islands to enjoy all things maritime. Seattle and Portland are two of the Northwest’s most famous cities, cosmopolitan in atmosphere with friendly locals and some great sightseeing.
