Wizard Island In Crater Lake (Trip 51)ERIC FOLTZ / GETTY IMAGES ©

GEOLOGICAL EVENTS OVER THOUSANDS OF YEARS HAVE DRAMATICALLY SHAPED THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. Left behind are snowcapped mountain ranges, rocky islands, hundreds of waterfalls, natural hot springs and one particularly lovely gorge.

Because almost every drive in the Pacific Northwest is a scenic one, there’s no better way to see it than by road trip. You can cruise along Oregon’s epic coastline, explore the volcanic remnants of Crater Lake, go up the Inside Passage, or even travel in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark. We’ll help you find all the great stops along the way, from historical sites to natural wonders to roadside attractions.
