Washington National Parks

There are three Washington National Parks to visit on a fun and cheap vacation.

Mount Rainier National Park- Located in Southwestern Washington this is a great place to see a active volcano. Mount Rainer is the fifth highest mountain in the lower 48 states.

The mountain is massive and the top is rarely visible—but when it is, the view exposes a majestic and breathtaking mountain. There are many trails to hike.

North Cascades National Park - Located in Northwestern Washington this park is known for its beautiful snow covered mountain vistas and its glacier lakes that have pine trees all around. There is much wildlife, and trails that are good for family treks.

Olympic National Park - Located in Northwestern Washington there are Sol Duc hot springs, rain forests, rugged coastlines and skiing at Hurricane Ridge. There are mountain, rain forest and beach tracks. If you hike, look for bald eagles, elk, deer, bears and more.
