OREGON
Its an absolutely beautiful state with lots of places to hike and to be with nature. Traffic is not an issue here and roads are lined by rose bushes. Air is so crisp and fresh here that it revitalizes you.
Suggested places location wise-
- Multnomah falls - Beautiful falls and must do hiking near this to see other beautiful falls like Ponytail falls, bridal veil falls and horsetail falls. You can even walk behind the ponytail falls and its beautiful experience. The hiking also lets you see mesmerizing canyon views. Drive to these falls is by the columbia river which again provides amazing views.
- Oneonta gorge - Its absolutely gorgeous and must see. Words cannot describe the beauty of this gorge. Best season to walk in canyon when water is low around August.
- Mount Hood - There is so much to do here like kayaking, hiking, lakes and other outdoor activities amidst beautiful views of mount hood. There are various vista points while driving to mount hood like Timberline lodge where the movie shining was shot. A meal is recommended in the lodge restaurant with great ambiance amidst backdrop of snow capped mountains.
- Portland downtown - Its huge downtown with lot of activities. Don't miss the very famous voodoo doughnuts which will require you to be in queue for an at least 45 min but worth it.
- Portland Rose test garden- oh I still remember the fragrance of those roses. Absolutely gorgeous park with multi colored and sized roses with unforgettable fragrances. Best season for roses is late May and early June.
- Portland Japanese garden
- Cannon beach - It offers the views that no other beach in USA offers. Its worth visiting.
- Oregon has great ocean drive in the west with spectacular beaches. Pick any. One famous beach is Neskowin beach state park.
- Sea lion caves is towards south end of ocean front of Oregon
- Crater lake National Park- No words again to describe the beauty of this place. Beautiful colors of the lake amidst pristine and godly mountains. Lake water seems like glass. Must see.
SEATTLE
I just had one day to spend in Seattle so I and my friend covered downtown Seattle. Its a nice downtown by the water.
- Pike place market

SEATTLE
I just had one day to spend in Seattle so I and my friend covered downtown Seattle. Its a nice downtown by the water.
Must sees:
- Seattle space needle and observation deck- absolutely amazing night view from the top. They have advanced monitors to keep you engaging. Drinks and food available at deck. Also has a rotating restaurant which needs reservation in advance.
-Chihuly Garden and glass exhibit - Its next to Space needle. It has great work of the artist and not to be missed. Its not that big and can be covered in max 2 hrs. I would suggest buy the needle and this exhibit's tickets together to get better price. Also explore the option of Seattle day pass.

- Pike place market
- Seattle lock cruise - This one is worth too. It takes you closer to big cargo ships and good information by the cruise team. I will definitely recommend it.
