Eastern Washington State is a paradise for both wine and outdoor recreation. Here are three great destinations where you can taste wine at the vineyard and also enjoy an outdoor adventure.

Discover the Box Canyon Dam on the scenic Pend Oreille River in the northeast corner of Washington State. Camp, boat, fish, hike, and enjoy the outdoors.

The scenic Gold Creek Pond is a perfect place to stop on your way over Snoqualmie Pass. You can enjoy a leisurely summer stroll or have a picnic. The trailhead for the Interpretive site is just 1.5 miles from I-90 exit 54 (Hyak), and there is a bathroom and parking for more than 20 vehicles at the trailhead. The trail that loops around the lake is dirt with a section of boardwalk, but it is classified as ADA accessible. There are benches and picnic tables around the lake where you can sit and enjoy the day and a large picnic area near the parking area (head left of the trail to get to the picnic area). A USFS pass is required at the trailhead, which has a payment kiosk if you do not have an annual pass.

Discover the beauty of the Mountains to Sound Greenway with this tour through favorite stops near Seattle. Walk or bike the Snoqualmie Valley Trail, learn about railroad history and get a bite in Snoqualmie, check out the Three Forks Natural Area (and let your dog romp in the off-leash park), and then head up to the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Valley to hike, picnic, or just play by the river.

Imagine waking up to the whoosh of the ocean breathing and sea birds cackling offshore. You can smell a mix of sea salt and conifer. Sunlight is just starting to illuminate the massive stone monoliths lazily bathing off shore. Tendrils of morning mist are swirling upwards as the day heats up. It’s morning on the Wilderness Coast!

Enjoy a peaceful weekend at the ocean in Grays Harbor County, Washington. Explore the Seabrook Resort, walk along the beach, mountain bike, surf, ride horses, kayak, and discover a rain forest.
