The many magnificent beaches all along the coast are a recreational paradise of swimming, sailing, fishing and kite-flying. Inland, hiking, camping, skiing and the opportunity to appreciate nature in unspoiled wilderness are available in the many parks preserving the towering Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges. Among the many breathtaking natural wonders to be found here are Crater Lake, Mount Saint Helens and some of the tallest mountains in North America, including Mount Rainier and Mount Hood. Further west, rodeos, ghost towns and extensive wilderness areas are just some of the attractions that draw thousands of visitors every year. And those who crave bright lights, Portland, Seattle, Victoria and Vancouver are only the largest of the many delightful cities, rich in history and gracious living, that are found in the Pacific Northwest.
