2-day Journey into Washington's Natural Wonders: Olympic National Park and Mount St. Helens
Our journey into these natural wonders began early one summer morning as we drove along Highway 101, the dense forest of the Olympic Peninsula stretching out before us. The air was thick with the scent of pine and cedar, and the sound of our tires on the wet pavement was the only noise in the otherwise silent world around us. As we neared the entrance to Olympic National Park, the trees seemed to close in, forming a canopy that filtered the soft morning light and created an almost ethereal atmosphere.

A 5-Day Adventure: Exploring the Columbia River Gorge, Mount Hood, and Beyond from Portland
William and I lived near Portland for several years. The first time we drove out of Portland and into the Columbia River Gorge, I was struck by the sheer power of the landscape. The city, with its bustling streets and lively energy, faded into the background as we were enveloped by the towering cliffs and roaring waterfalls. I remember the moment we turned onto the Historic Columbia River Highway, and the first glimpse of Multnomah Falls came into view. The cascade of water, plunging from such a height, seemed almost otherworldly, like something out of a dream.
