Itinerary

After the 8am welcome meeting the group will climb in the van and drive across the border into the United States. From there, continue south towards Edmonds, Washington and board a boat to cross the Puget Sound. There will be time for lunch on your own either before or after the ferry ride. Cap the day off with a stunning drive along Hurricane Ridge to admire the rising mountains in the distance, and experience a great introduction to the Pacific Northwest. The group will be staying in the city of Sequim; a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts and lovers of all things lavender. Stay: Quality Inn & Suites Sequim

Have breakfast at the hotel before driving to Port Angeles to meet up with our local guide. From here, travel to the Sol Duc Valley area where there will be time to choose between booking a day pass at the nearby hot springs or going on a guided hike to Sol Duc Falls shrouded by a canopy of Douglas Firs and Western Red Cedars. Then, move on to the Lake Crescent area where the group can choose to rent a kayak/canoe, walk the trails near the lodge, or set off on a guided hike to the picturesque Marymere Falls through Lowland, Old Growth forest. Finish the visit with a walk along Elwha River to Madisson Falls. Dinner will be on your own in Port Angeles before returning to Sequim in the evening. Stay: Quality Inn & Suites Sequim (B)

Spend the morning in Sequim. Opt to visit one of the nearby Lavender Farms or walk along one of the world’s longest sand spits on Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge. Around mid-morning the group will depart for Portland and drive along the scenic Hood Canal. A stop will be made for lunch on your own and we will make it to Portland in the late afternoon. Set off on a CEO-led orientation walk of Portland and then hit the town for dinner at your leisure, or maybe try one of the many great breweries the city is known for. Stay: Mark Spencer Hotel (B)
