The Pacific Northwest of the United States (Washington, Oregon, and California) and the Southeastern provinces of Canada (British Columbia) are hands down my favorite places. There is so much to see. From the beauty of the beaches with their Coastal monoliths, some soaring to heights of hundreds of feet. To the many majestic snow-capped mountains. To the long interesting history of the numerous State and National parks. Within the variety of climates and land features in a relativly small geographical area, it is easy to become captivated by the beauty, amazement, and grace of the environment surrounding you.
