NW U.S./Alaska Travel

Known as one of the most grandly scenic regions of the U.S., the Northwest ranges from the wild shores of Washington, Oregon and Alaska to the wilderness of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. Its 15 national parks include the rain forests of Washington’s Olympic, geysers in Wyoming’s Yellowstone, and glaciers in Montana’s Glacier and Alaska’s Kenai Fjords.

Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, offer everything from rose gardens and microbreweries to a vibrant open-air market and views of Mount Rainier from the space needle. Hiking, kayaking, horseback riding, skiing and snowshoeing are a few Northwest activities. Whether whale watching or sampling world-class wines, luxuriating in a five-star hotel or going rustic in a yurt, discover what this unique region of the U.S. holds.
