NEW FALL OPTIONS

A Taste of Autumn in the Pacific Northwest

The vivid autumn colors of harvest fill the Pacific Northwest with dazzling reds, golds, and oranges, making even New England jealous. The air teases your senses with scents of a bountiful earth. There are changing-leaf festivals and hiking trails—The Enchantments and Blackbird Island are perfect for exploring. (See brilliant colors reflected on the waters of mountain lakes.)

Northwest rainforests are mythic in the fall, waterfalls are more intense, and salmon swim in creeks where otters wait to catch them. Northwestern urban areas have parks with forests, streams, sand dunes, and meadows; all framed by the legendary Mt. Hood, Rainier, the Cascade Range, and the Olympic Forest. The Columbia River Gorge is a mixed blaze of color and pines.

Fall is prime time for fishing—discover the Jubilee Salmon Derby. Imagine a cheese-tasting trail. How about an entire city block, made Halloween-eerie, with ghosts and spirits. Homemade fudge and caramel corn. Whale watching on the San Juan’s as the gentle giants head south for the winter. Harvesting hops. Luscious apple orchards. A traditional Bavarian village, or a six-course farm-fresh banquet. The Pacific Northwest revels in autumn!

NEW WINTER OPTIONS

A Winter of Wonder in the Pacific Northwest

A winter vacation in the Pacific Northwest offers a world of extraordinary choices. Snow-covered and mythic, mountains rise up from legendary rivers. Lodges are designed for cozy evenings. Days can be filled with adventures or a tranquil escape where the texture of winter’s silence makes life a gentle idyll. Dining is exceptional, and wineries are ready for private tastings during their “cellar season.”

Skiing, both downhill and cross-country, is sublime and the options are many. There’s also snow-shoeingtubingsleigh ridessledding, and ice-skating. Come evening, have a night cap or indulge in s’mores by a fjord-side fire pit. Perhaps soak in a hot tub with a local glass of Pinot Noir. If you want moody charm, head to the ocean and feel the power.

Trek a wildlife park with a guide—cooler weather brings out roaming animals. Go on a walkabout in the evergreens. Delight in fresh Dungeness crab—the season opens in late fall—and oyster farms. Discover creative arts in charming communities that welcome you. This is the time of year for truffles and wine pairings. Imagine holiday cheer that eases you straight through the winter months.

Pacific Northwest Honeymoons

The Pacific Northwest is more than Seattle and Portland. The region attracts people with the promise of innovation and a laid-back culture that glories in nature. Head over the Cascade Mountains, and you’re in cowboy country. To the west, the coast is a peaceful retreat. 

In 1805, the Lewis and Clark expedition reached Washington where the Snake and Clearwater Rivers meet. They rolled down the Snake and Columbia Rivers to Oregon and the Pacific Ocean. Go to the Columbia River and feel her power. (Imagine the explorers’ awe and their gratitude to the woman, Sacagawea, who was their guide.) A Pacific Northwest vacation is the lure of adventure, charming towns, and natural wonders.

Would you like to stay in a resort with a spa, a boutique hotel, or a secluded lodge? Perhaps a vacation rental? Excellent!
