Start your exploration at Pike Place Market, where fishmongers toss their catch through the air and the aroma of fresh coffee greets you. Stroll along the lively waterfront, admire the skyline from the iconic Space Needle, or take the ferry to Bainbridge Island for stunning views across the bay.

For those who enjoy exploring on foot, Seattle offers plenty of options. Head to Discovery Park, Seattle’s largest city park, where walking trails take you past woodlands, cliffs and spectacular views over Puget Sound. Kerry Park is also highly recommended for anyone wishing to admire Seattle’s famous skyline, with the Space Needle in the foreground and Mount Rainier in the distance. Thanks to its unique location between water and mountains, nature is never far away here.

Interesting fact: Seattle was once the starting point for thousands of gold prospectors during the Klondike Gold Rush.

From Seattle, you drive south towards Mount Rainier National Park. Even from a distance, you can see the imposing volcano towering above the landscape. At 4,392 metres, Mount Rainier is the highest mountain in Washington State and, without a doubt, one of the most impressive natural wonders of the American Northwest.

Around the volcano, you’ll discover a world of glaciers, waterfalls, alpine meadows and vast forests. In summer, thousands of wildflowers colour the valleys whilst walkers enjoy panoramic views that never cease to amaze.

Drive along the picturesque Sunrise Road to enjoy some of the park’s most beautiful views.
