Washington state is nicknamed the “Evergreen State” and with good reason. The state is covered in huge stands of fragrant cedar, Douglas fir, hemlock, spruce and several varieties of pine. Washington’s lush forests are filled with scenic trails for hiking and backpacking, hidden rivers for canoeing, kayaking and fly-fishing.
The mountains in the western part of the state offer world-class skiing for beginners to professionals. There are also excellent opportunities for snow-tubing and snowmobiling. In the warmer months, the mountains offer mountain biking, horseback trail rides and even hang-gliding. Washington’s Pacific coast features picturesque lighthouses, salmon runs and whale watching opportunities.
