This summer my friend, Jena, and I embarked on the ultimate road trip of the Pacific Northwest. I have to give most of the planning credit to Jena. We prepared with cases of sparkling water, healthy snacks, and a cooler full of PB&Js. The trip lasted a total of 10 days, we went through 8 states, 5,600 miles (9,012 km), one flat tire, and 4 audiobooks. Each of the listed spots of links to Google Maps, so you can save them for future adventures!​​Here is a quick guide if you happen to be in a hurry. Admission: FreeOne of my favorite days was exploring Heaven’s Gate in Idaho. Make sure to check that the trail is open, you’ll drive for many miles on steep, hairpin turns and the mountain side can be covered with snow even in the summer.

As we were driving we saw wild horses roaming on the hilltops. The lookout sits at the entrance to the Seven Devils Mountains at 8,249 ft, where you can see the canyon from Snake River. It’s the deepest canyon in North America at 7,200 ft, which is deeper than the infamous Grand Canyon.We hiked to the lookout, which is staffed during fire season by a ranger. He invited us into his lodge which offers 360 degree views of the mountains and canyons. You can see 4 states from it’s peak: Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Idaho.

In July the hillsides were covered with fresh lavender, making it even more of a magnificient view. Admission: FreeOur first activity when we arrived in Portland was to hike up Multnomah Falls, which is the tallest waterfall in Oregon. After 10am the parking lot gets completely full and it’s impossible to find a spot to leave your car. The hike to the top can get you a little winded at times, but there are plenty of switchbacks to take a breather.

I would recommend getting there as early as possible.When we got to the top we spent a few minutes relaxing and meditating next to the water. I got a little too adventurous and while walking on the rocks slipped and my foot fell into the freezing cold water.

It wasn’t too fun to hike back down with a wet boot, but I had to laugh about it! Price: $$This throw-back train car offers American comfort food in chill setting. It was originally built in 1948 in Pennsylvania. When the owner unexpectedly died, a Bainbridge Island resident bought the train car, disassembled it to transport it to the West Coast, then reassembled it in Bainbridge. It was also seen on the 2007 episode of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives with Guy Fieri.I wouldn’t recommend going here if you’re in a hurry though. Service was a bit slow and we had to wait for a table. The Haunted Lake CrescentThis gorgeous blue lake, tucked inside the mossy forest in Olympic National Park, is a paranormal hotspot.

Not only does it have Native American lore, but is haunted by The Lady of the Lake. In 1937, a barmaid went missing. Three years later, two fishermen found the body of the woman.

Even more disturbing was the fact that her body was mostly preserved and turned to an ivory soap like substance. The combination of the minerals and frigid water temperature turned her body fat into soap. Jena and I were incredibly excited to hike around Mount Rainier. We put on our hiking shoes and left early in the morning. It was my turn to drive and we made our way up the bumpy dirt road to get to the trailhead. We were so far from civilization that neither of us had cell service (that was actually pretty common by now during the trip).All of a sudden a light started flashing on the dash and Jena yelled, “Pull over!” I quickly got the car to the side of the remote road, when Jena opened her passenger door, we could hear the air rushing out of our back tire.

Here we are in the middle of nowhere, no cell service and on the side of the mountain. What horrible timing!We quickly unloaded the trunk, got the manual out of the glove box and pulled out the spare. Jena and I changed the tire ourselves! Unfortunately, our hike was ruined.Jena went back to do the hike a month later, and here is one of her photos.

I’m beyond jealous of this view! As we were driving through Wyoming, Jena and I were chatting along as I drove through the barren and boring lands. I noticed a speed limit sign and a sheriff sitting there. I just got caught in a speed trap. In my rearview mirror, I saw the sheriff whip his patrol car around and flick on his lights after us.When he pulled us over he harrassed us about Jena’s license plate, saying that he couldn’t understand what state we were from.Sadly, I guess they don’t teach the states to elementary school students, because he thought our license plate was from Florida. We sat there nervously as he went back to his car.

I thought to myself, we are going to get a ticket I just know it. We’re from out of town, we are destined to get a hefty speeding fine. The man came back and with gruesome smile gave us a piece of paper that only said, “Warning.” Whew!
