I just finished sharing a good part of our adventures in Washington and the beginning of Oregon and I realized that I had forgotten to our stop at Snoqualmie Falls. This is a beautiful 268-foot waterfall that will take your breath away. I just had to backtrack for a second and add this to …
One of the craziest things we did on our road trip from Utah to Washington, Oregon, California and back again was the Ape Caves Washington. These Lava Tubes are so fun. These are located on the south side of Mt. St. Helens. We came over here after staying the night in Rainier, OR. The day …
After we visited Ruby Beach and Kalaloch Beach (with the Tree of Life) we headed inland to the Quinault Rain Forest. This was our last stop in Washington State. We wanted to spend time exploring the area, but we had to stick to our schedule. The Quinault Rain Forest is located roughly 35 miles …
Visiting Kalaloch beach was on my “Driving the coast” bucket list. The Tree of Life in and of itself was reason to stop, but the beach is also very beautiful (and full of cool shells like sand dollars). We were there at very low tide, so we got to explore a lot than you …
After we explored Cape Flattery and Shi Shi Beach, we spent the night at Klahowya Campground. The next morning we got up and drove west towards the Washington coast. We drove through Forks, WA (any Twilight fans in the house?) and then headed to our first stop of the day…Ruby Beach. Ruby Beach is one …
After staying the night at the Salt Creek Recreation Area, we got up early and headed over to the Klahowya Campground. It is only about an hour away, but it let us drop our trailer before we headed up to Cape Flattery and the Shi Shi Beach trail. Parking is tight in those areas. The …
On our way back to Kalhowya Campground after we did the Cape Flattery trail, we stopped at Shi Shi (pronounced Shy Shy) beach. I have ed feelings about this hike. The hike itself was long (but we knew that going into it). Aside from the length, the trail is muddy and it rained 80% of …
After spending almost a week at the Thunderbird RV and Camping Resort we headed over to the Salt Creek Recreation Area. This is located on the very north edge of Washington (facing Canada). We drove down around Tacoma, up through Four Corners and onto Port Angeles before we headed over to the Salt Creek Recreation …
Lodgepole Campground (in Naches, WA) is located about 8 miles east of Mt. Rainier National Park. We came from Utah and stayed the night here before heading out to explore Mt. Rainier National Park for the day. There are about 3 miles of mountains with switchbacks that you have to drive through to get down …
We were hosted at the Thunderbird RV & Camping Resort thanks to Thousand Trails. All opinions are my own. When you travel with your family, you want to make sure you are staying at clean, safe, fun places. That way everyone can enjoy the stay and you don’t stress about anything. I planned a two-week …
