This road trip holiday to the Northwest takes in some of the most scenic parts of America and Canada as you travel through lush green National Parks, the rugged, majestic beauty of the Canadian Rockies, the vibrant cities of Seattle and Vancouver, the geological wonderland of Yellowstone, the historic Oregon trail to name just a few.
Your holiday will begin in Seattle, nicknamed the Emerald City situated at the foot of beautiful Mt Rainier. You’ll pick up your hire car at the airport and spend your first night in Seattle before getting on the road the next day for Vancouver. Your journey through Canada will take you along the path of the prospectors that went up the Fraser River Canyon to Kamloops and into the Canadian Rockies. Follow the famous Yellowhead Highway by Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, before reaching Jasper National Park. Visit the icefields of Banff National Park and take in the stunning views on offer in Glacier National Park.
You’ll then return back to the USA, through western Montana as you visit Yellowstone National Park which is certainly one for the bucket list and then onto the Grand Tetons, before driving into Idaho where Craters of the Moon, Twin Falls and Boise National Forest will provide the spectacular backdrop to your route. Returning to Washington State, a visit to Mt Rainier will be a real highlight of your trip before arriving back in Seattle.
