Welcome to Ft Stevens State Park – where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean. Ft Stevens campground is quite large with more than 8 loops and almost 500 sites. Yes, it is large but each loop feels quaint and small (albeit it can feel crowded on weekends and during

Harry Gardner County Park
Our next destination was Mt St Helens so we choose a campground which had good access to the national monument. We found a cute little campground (11 RV sites and 11 tent sites) with some good reviews called Harry Gardner County Park. This park sits along the South Toutle River

As we made our way from Vantage to Glenoma we drove through Yakima and on to Highway 12 where the Schneider Springs wildfire was burning. The sky in Yakima was a bit overcast and smokey but not as bad as we have seen before with wildfires. As we entered Naches

Our next destination was Mount Rainier National Park with a one night stopover at a national forest campground along the Naches River.

Lake Mary Ronan Lodge is about a 10 minute drive from Dayton, Montana which sits on the west side of Flathead Lake. It is an easy drive on to Kalispell for some touring. Along the way we had terrific views of Flathead Lake. Our first stop was Foys Lake which
