Description:
It is here we leave the ‘average’ Seattle tourist behind and experience what makes the city so special to the locals.  You will unlock a piece of Washington you would never have known existed. Go from a bustling city to wilderness adventures just around the corner. A few miles in any direction and you find yourself paddling a kayak, whitewater rafting, mountain biking, hiking or climbing one of a hundred nearby peaks. From the stately flanks of its Cascade volcanoes

Start the day off with a short drive across Lake Washington and along Lake Sammamish up into the Cascade foothills to our region's self-named Mountains to Sound Greenway, straddling Interstate 90, in the heart of Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. With the adventurous day before us we stop for a quick morning tea overlooking the 268’ foot Snoqualmie Falls tumbling over granite cliffs into the emerald canyon below. We then venture down the pine tree lined trail to hear the roar up close and personal. 

This place is overflowing with peaks, lakes, rivers and streams and the perfect region to enjoy the outdoors. Seattle is home to some of the world's most beautiful whitewater rivers. In less than an hour from downtown you'll find yourself dodging boulders and gazing at mountain peaks in an idyllic forest wonderland. In a place where magazine covers are born, you'll delight at beautiful whitewater rapids, wildlife sightings, and a look into northwest wilderness. We'll choose the best whitewater adventure for the day based on the size and character of the group and other environmental factors. Also, witness a grand landscape in motion - as seen from a geological perspective, your guide will describe the forces that have shaped the land, which only adds to the pleasure of the remarkable panorama.

With our thirst for an authentic Pacific Northwest adventure quenched, we descend quickly pass soaring peaks and alpine lakes, taking in one of the most spectacular natural settings in the Northwest before arriving back into the Emerald City.

Do you want more?
The Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest offers more then ample opportunity to go play in the outdoors including the chance to go mountain biking on the John Wayne Trail or even go fly-fishing in a stream teeming with rainbows.
