ABOUT
BRITISH COLUMBIA
Set between the province of Alberta and the Pacific Ocean, British Columbia
is a land blessed with amazing diversity and a temperate climate. There
is an equally amazing variety of places to see and things to do across
the province. Mountains to gaze at or climb. History and art to discover.
Endless beaches to comb. Cosmopolitan cities to explore. Moss-carpeted
rainforests to hike. Sensual spas and tantalizing gastronomic delights
to indulge in. Warm-water lakes to play in. Rivers to ride. And so much
more. All of this variety is neatly arranged into six regions: Northern
British Columbia; Cariboo Chilcotin Coast; Vancouver Island (Victoria
& the Gulf Islands; Vancouver, Coast & Mountains; Thompson Okanagan;
Kootenay Rockies; Each region has its own intriguing differences and unique
attributes, as do our three major cities: Vancouver; Victoria; Whistler.

ABOUT
WASHINGTON STATE
Washington hosts a wide variety of opportunities for travelers, from recreation
to relaxation to accommodation to adventure. Seattle and Puget Sound are
rife with fishing and boating prospects, a trend that continues down the
coast to the Olympic Peninsula and on towards Oregon. Mountains rise immediately
to the east of the coast, with landmarks such as Mount St. Helens and
Mount Rainier accommodating hiking, biking and camping. Vancouver and
Yakima are both prominent towns in this area. The Cascade Loop is a well-traveled
area that traverses the Cascade Range, taking visitors through small mountain
towns such as Leavenworth. Further east, the Columbia River Basin presents
many chances to experience Washington, such as the Grand Coulee Dam, which
is the largest concrete dam in North America and the third largest producer
of electricity worldwide. Spokane is the largest city in eastern Washington
and the heart of the Inland Empire.

ABOUT
IDAHO
Idaho is rich with beauty, sport and culture. Northern Idaho has the greatest
concentration of lakes in the West and evergreen forests abound. The Salmon
River bisects the rugged Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness and
provides some of the best whitewater kayaking and rafting in the world.
The Sawtooth Wilderness Area and the White Cloud peaks provide additional
recreational opportunities. World-famous Sun Valley is located between
these mountain ranges. Hells Canyon, the deepest river gorge in North
America, lies on the state’s western border, overlooked by the Seven Devils
Mountains. In Idaho’s southwestern corner are the tallest sand dunes on
the continent. In the south central region is the Craters of the Moon
National Monument, where America’s astronauts trained for moonwalks.

ABOUT
OREGON
Experience the beauty of the west with a coast vacation in the state of
Oregon. From the stark beauty of high desert landscapes to the spectacular
headlands and beaches of the Pacific coast, Oregon promises its visitors
a sublime journey of unforgettable scenery and recreation. In the summer,
hikers follow trails around Crater Lake National Park, while steelhead
enthusiasts drift over the choppy waters of the Rogue River. Winter at
Mt. Hood brings out skiers and snowshoers to enjoy miles of powder-like
snow. At the Favell Museum of Western Art and Artifacts, families can
view over 100,000 Indian artifacts and western art pieces. Oregon is a
destination that offers both adventure and relaxation with plenty to learn
about Native American history and the diverse cultures of the region’s
past and present.

ABOUT
CALIFORNIA
Some California cities have more tourist attractions than many entire
states. Hollywood magic in Los Angeles, the San Diego Zoo, Alcatraz and
the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco are just a few of these major
landmarks. Outside the cities are four-season wonders like the coastal
redwood forests and Lake Tahoe, which rests high in the Sierra Nevada
Mountains. You’ll find fantastic fishing and skiing near the mountain
town of Mammoth Lakes, not far from Yosemite National Park. Find similar
enjoyment at Big Bear Lakes, along with art galleries and performing arts
centers. Eco-tourism, wildflowers and international film festivals await
you at the upscale village of Palm Springs. Take your pick from the virtually
endless vacation possibilities in this magnificent western state.
