WEEKEND GUIDE: OLIVER, BC

, ,

Oliver, BC is known as “Canada’s Wine Capital” due to more than 40 wineries in the area. We are not big drinkers and don’t know a whole lot about wine, but we were looking for a relaxing summer getaway in the Interior and we love how picturesque vineyards can be. We also picked Oliver for its close proximity to Osoyoos Lake.

PORTLAND HIGHLIGHTS

Portland, Oregon is known for being quirky, artsy, open-minded and a little bit weird (okay, maybe more than a little). There’s something for everyone in this city. The downtown core is small and walkable, but there are plenty of surrounding neighborhoods that deserve some time too.

NORTH CASCADES: NATIONAL HIDDEN GEM

North Cascades National Park is one of Washington state’s (and America’s) most underrated and least frequented national parks. What the park lacks in visitors it more than makes up for in beauty and unique attractions. It is not for the faint of heart as many of the best views, hikes and activities require some significant trekking.
