DAY 1 - 2: SEATTLE TO PORT ANGELES
Collect your RV from our depot in Everett. Your first stop and one of the jewels of the national park system is the magnificent Olympic National Park. This stretch of the Pacific Ocean coastline is one of America’s great wilderness areas and with no roads directly through the park, it has remained largely untouched by humans. Given its lack of roads into the park, we suggest spending 2 nights near Port Angeles. There are a number of ways to get to Olympic National Park, including many different ferry options from towns along the coast
DAY 3: QUINAULT VALLEY, OLYMPIC PENINSULA
Spend the next day exploring the western peninsula of the park and the Pacific coastline. For those familiar with the Twilight series, stop in the town of Forks, which was the primary setting used for the films and books. Overnight in the wilderness of the Quinault Valley.

After your time on the Olympic peninsula, it’s time to head east to yet another stunning region of this wild state. At over 14,000ft, Mt. Rainier is often visible throughout the state and is

Head north along highway 97 skirting the eastern edge of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest and into the North Central region of Washington state.

There is enough concrete in the Grand Coulee Dam to build a 60ft wide road, four inches thick, from Los Angeles to New York City! Finish heading west towards the beautiful Lake Chelan and your lakeside
accommodation for the night.
DAY 6-8: VANCOUVER
Vancouver and the Burnaby Cariboo. We firmly recommend that you stay at this campground for 3 or 4 nights.
