US Northwest
Written By Bjorn Thorvaldsson
For summer vacation I travelled with my sister and her family for a couple of weeks in the US Northwest, staying in Vancouver WA on the border of Oregon and Washington. It was a family vacation in a nice house, with lots of good food and wine, my niece’s birthday and all around fun.
In terms of nature, the area sports the magnificent Columbia River Gorge, the Oregon Coast and a set of dramatic volcanic mountains such Mount Hood and Mount St Helens. Quite a large area to cover but absolutely stunning. Definitely worth another visit.
