Spend your Pacific Northwest vacation in Packwood, WA situated between
Mt. Rainier, Mt. Saint Helens, and surrounded by Gifford Pinchot National
Forest. Leave the fast pace and hassles behind, and embark on an adventure
of natural scenic delights and wildlife so abundant, they can be seen
roaming in the very center of town. Packwood is considered the dream
of recreational enthusiasts, and White Pass ski area (18 miles beyond
Packwood) has 1,510 vertical feet, ski lifts, great family skiing/snowboard
programs, terrain for all ages, and all in stunningly beautiful surroundings.
(see the proposed expansion plan for White Pass)
Our lodging will serve as your home base for all these activities and
more. Mt. Saint Helens, Mt. Adams, and Mt. Rainier offer travelers and visitors
alike adventure and thrills for a life time.
Getting there is half the fun!
Start your relaxing vacation as soon
as you leave the I-5 corridor. Head east on beautiful Hwy 12, Washington's
White Pass Scenic Byway, "Playground of Volcano Country". Discover
the mysterious and misplaced Tibetan Yaks (in Ethel), visit the
DeGoede Bulb Farm and show gardens whose fields are a profusion
of color, and enjoy a living reminder of the Wild-West by
stopping in Glenoma (by the Fire Department) to see the
American Buffalo up close and personal.
Even the most amateur photographer can capture Mount Adams (at mile marker
114) and Lakes Mayfield and Riffe at spectacular viewpoints. Hwy 12 is
seldom traveled without seeing an array of wild life: elk, deer,
coyotes, raccoon, bald eagles, or porcupine (one of our trips included
a doe with twin fawns still sporting their spots). For those with more
domesticated taste, the countryside is also filled with cattle, horses,
sheep, and llamas.
But don't take our word for it, read what our visitors say
here.
