Outdoor Life

The Pacific Northwest is famous for spectacular mountains, the Columbia River Gorge, the Puget Sound, and of course, the unparalleled Pacific Coast. World class skiing, snowboarding, climbing and windsurfing are all within a 90-minute drive from Vancouver. And forested lands for camping, hiking and fishing are well maintained within the county itself.

Want to see something really special? Check out the historic Mount St. Helens, the tide pools of the Northern Oregon Coast, or the mighty Columbia River Gorge. Or just relax in one of the many cabins, B&Bs or lodges scattered throughout the area. There is simply something for everyone.
