Washington is covered with mountains, rain forests, rivers, lakes and wetlands but also with beaches, a desert, islands and the famed "Mount St. Helens" whose volcanic ash covered acres of trees and buried Spirit Lake in 1980. Glaciers are found on almost all the mountains where their majestic presence is for all to enjoy. Add the beauty of the forests, with their massive trees and wildlife and you have a perfect setting for discovery. Whether seeking cultural, historic or anthropologic areas, Washington offers numerous scenic byways, tours, and recreational opportunities to satisfy everyone.

Recreational opportunities abound, cycling, boating, camping, fishing, rock climbing and almost everything one can think of is available for the sports enthusiast. Looking for outdoors near an urban area? Try Wenatchee Confluence State Park. Washington offers Wildlife Refuges, clam digging, sea kayaking, whale watching and more. Want to see orcas? San Juan Island in Puget Sound near Seattle has cruises out to see the whales. There are a number of coastal cities along Washington Coast that offer whale watching cruises as well. And don't forget to see the Space Needle in Seattle while you are there. Interested in the Native Americans? Take Okanogan Scenic byway where the lovely hills and prairies with canyons follow the Native American Cariboo Trail. Or visit a rainforest, such as the Hoh Rainforest where the ecosystems form a sublime primordial vision. Or visit Mount Rainier or one of the many gardens like Washington Park Arboretum. There are numerous parks with waterfalls, streams and lakes as well as the World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Reserve at Olympic National Park. Washington is also the place where the elusive "Big Foot" has been spotted, and where D.B. Cooper disappeared after hijacking a 727 and parachuting into the mountains with $200,000. All this plus the fact that the mountains become a winter playland with snow activities and skiing. Follow the Lewis and Clark route to explore the American past with interpretive centers and markers along the way. Sacajawea State Park and Interpretive Center combines the story of Lewis and Clark with Sacajawea, the Shoshone Indian guide who led the expedition safely through the region. Or go to the WW II site, Fort Ebey State Park where you can paraglide. Also, Washington State highways, and many of the Scenic Byways have numerous historical markers with interpretive information to make your journey more pleasurable.
