Mount
St Helens is a great long weekend biker destination.
We combined it with a trip down the Oregon Coast, returning
north through Mount St Helens National Volcanic Monument as
well as Mt Rainier National Park. We began our trip
after a day of work and spent the first night in Omak,
Washington.
On DAY 2, we
continued on through Leavenworth and the stunning Cascades
heading west towards the coast line to
Port
Angeles.
The Cascades
alone are a great
long weekend trip of twisty roads to enjoy. If you
like to be in the company of a lot of bikers, you'll be in
heaven in the Cascades. We also took the time to
travel up to
Hurricane Ridge
just out of Port
Angeles
the following morning. Stunning views and twisty roads
await all the way to the top.
DAY 3 took us
along the coast and
Olympic Peninsula
to Astoria,
Oregon.
Astoria is located at the mouth of the Columbia River and a
great overnight stay and stunning location. Traveling
over the huge bridge crossing the Columbia River at its
widest point is definitely impressive.
DAY 4 took us
through the
Mt St Helens Volcanic
National Park,
onto Mt Rainier
National Park
with our last overnight stay in
Moses Lake,
before heading home.
