Description
Islands, Gardens and Vistas in Washington & British Columbia
Let us introduce you to some of our all-time favorite spots in the Pacific Northwest. Begin with a visit to the San Juans, an idyllic cluster of islands that we’ve long adored for their natural beauty, solitude and easygoing pace of life. Then ferry to Vancouver Island and discover a montage of cultures in sophisticated Victoria, with quaint streets, colorful gardens and an Old English ambience. In Olympic National Park, marvel at glacier-capped peaks and rare temperate rain forests thick with mosses and enormous old-growth conifers. You’ll enjoy the perfect balance of activities in some of the region’s most magical locales.
