Plan Your Perfect Road Trip 5 As my dad likes to say on road trips like this This is just the survey course. If you see something you like you can always come back and stay longer on your own time. I totally buy into his thinking. Heading to a specific destination and diving deep for a few days into the local surroundings and culture is a totally different experience. But moving ever forward down the road to see where it leads is the best way possible to get an introductory overview of the land that sculpted both the communities and the very nature of those hearty souls who chose to call these places home. Driving along Washingtons back roads brings with it a sense of romance and adventure. Stopping to eat play or rest at a small one-horse town deep in the forest or high on a desert plateau and listening to the colorful stories being told by the fellow sitting on the next barstool never gets old. Taking turns down roads to discover old dilapidated homesteads tribal battlefields and ghost towns gives you a sense of history and wonder. As in I wonder what happened to the people who settled and tried to build a future here. Washingtons scenic byways are filled with such wonderment. Then theres that scenic part of the equation. From our Pacific coastline and rain forests youll climb up and over the towering Cascade Mountain range and its half dozen or more volcanic peaks to the high desert plains wine country and scablands of central Washington. From here youll ascend slowly into the foothills of the Rocky Mountains to where the sun rises on our states eastern border. The beauty youll encounter at nearly every turn will make your toes curl with delight and shorten your breath. Snow-covered mountain peaks ocean beaches lakes waterfalls the mighty Columbia River and stark jagged remnants of ice-age glacial floods are all on full display here. So as you drive along each of our states scenic bywayswhich I highly recommend in a bucket- list kind of wayconsider starting with a survey course to get a sense of everything the byway has to offer. If you drive through a place where you think youd like to spend more time just remember you can always come back later on your own time.
