The Pacific Northwest of the United States is incredibly beautiful. With major cities, cliffs, national parks, and amazing beaches, this is truly an experience you cannot pass up with your friends or family. If you’re looking to explore the United States a little bit more, we believe you should consider traveling to the Pacific Northwest to witness the great beauty it has to offer.
How to Get to the Pacific Northwest
Depending on what part of the country you’ll be traveling from, it’s recommended that you fly into a major city like Portland or Seattle. Once you arrive, it’s best to have a rental car or RV rental ready for your travels. Why do we suggest this? Driving along the coast and to the national parks requires packing up necessities that can take up space. You’ll need some storage space, and who wouldn’t want to explore these areas with a camper van?
Must-See Cities in the PNW
When deciding on what cities to explore, there are some you must see to experience the life and culture of the Pacific Northwest.
Portland, Oregon
Portland is a beautiful city with plenty of culture, night life, festivals, restaurants, and much more. If you’re looking for a culture-filled city, this is the place to go visit along your exploration of the Pacific Northwest.
Seattle, Washington
Seattle, Washington is different than Portland, but it is also filled with amazing restaurants, bars, and events you can check out.
National Park Adventure in PNW
Along the Pacific Northwest, you’ll find some of the best national parks. One thing to remember is that these parks can get heavily crowded, so it’s important to map out your national park adventure a head of time.
