Pacific Northwest holidays make excellent road trips – after a few days exploring northern California and its wondrous sights, get onto the legendary Highway 101 and meander up the US west coast. Roll down your windows and take in the towering mountains, thick forests and crashing waves of Oregon’s dramatic shoreline as you make your way to Portland, the Pacific Northwest’s second biggest city after Seattle. An urban hotspot of trendy eateries, hip coffee shops and a thriving indie music scene, Portland is a prime destination to let loose. Next stop on your road trip is Seattle, Washington State’s largest city and home to a compelling blend of nature, culture and urban magnetism. Make your way there at your leisure, diving into the region’s spectacular scenery as you go. Stop off at Ecola State Park and marvel at the thousands of puffins on Cannon Beach, or if you’re visiting between April and May or October and November, get on the whale trail at Olympic National Park and spot the majestic mammals in their natural habitat.
Pacific Northwest holidays offer a world of possibility, whatever you’re into. An abundance of national parks, awe-inspiring landscapes and animal life sit perfectly alongside modern cities at the forefront of the food, drink and music scenes, to create a stay that’s guaranteed to deliver. Adventurers can drink in the possibilities of outdoor adventure, from climbing the soaring Cascade Mountains and skiing the slopes of Mount Hood to kayaking in the San Juan archipelago and waiting quietly to spy bald eagles, killer whales and harbour seals. If an urban jungle’s more your thing, Seattle’s ever-changing music and art scene and Portland’s world-famous coffee bars and hipster shops will keep you on your toes.
Pike Place Market is one of the city’s most iconic places to visit, where over 225 local artisans sell their wares inside an open-air plaza that lines Elliot Bay. Dodge flying salmon as fishmongers toss them between each other, pick up souvenirs from local craftsmen, be wowed by street performers and try to pick somewhere for lunch from the hundreds of amazing eateries. Foodies are in their element here – fresh clam chowder with warm sourdough, mac and cheese, fresh crab sandwiches and hot donuts are just the tip of the gastronomical iceberg.
Sink into Oregon’s fruitful wine country with a tour of the state’s best wineries. Enjoy a scenic bike ride through rolling vineyards, relax on sprawling decks as you sip on a chardonnay or pinot noir in front of snow-capped mountains and brush up your vino knowledge with expert sommeliers.
