]]>On the Oregon side of the river, you will find Multnomah Falls, the most famous spot in the gorge. This waterfall cascades a total of 627 feet down from the mountains to the Columbia River and provides two incredible lookout spots at which you can marvel at the area’s beauty.
Moving over to Washington, Beacon Rock State Park is another one of the gems of the Columbia River Gorge. 32 miles east of Vancouver, a massive basalt volcanic plug rises 848 feet above the river and the area around it provides beautiful hiking trails and spots from which to see both the river and the namesake rock.
This man-made structure in the river was built in 1934 and protects the surrounding region from flooding in the area’s rainy conditions. You will marvel at the scope of the structure and the force with which the water pours through it from the idyllic meadows on either side of the river.

]]>Here are America’s most underrated West Coast destinations, one in each state that makes up the region.
While not technically located on the Pacific Coast, Hood River is a charming small town located on the Columbia River just a couple of hours from its discharge into the ocean. Known as a windsurfing hotspot, Hood River is full of outdoor activities and craft breweries that you will love.
California’s Central Coast region is home to San Luis Obispo, one of America’s most pleasant small cities. Here, you will find 18th-century Spanish missions as well as an international film festival and plentiful hiking trails.
Just a stone’s throw from Seattle is the small town of Sequim, which is scenically located at the base of the towering Olympic Mountains. Sequim has sport fishing and crabbing galore, but its claim to fame is its gorgeous lavender fields.

]]>What makes Washington, DC such an incredible city is that it provides free admission to almost every museum, and there are many to choose from. There are a number of Smithsonian museums scattered about the city, 18 in all, making it impossible for someone to be left out in the dark.
One of the more notable Smithsonian museums is the National Air and Space Museum, which is an amazing institution for people young and old. There are so many hands-on exhibits to choose from but also exhibits that are more inclined toward the adult crowd. The museum pulls from both science and pop culture in their exhibits, so there is no way you can miss this place when you’re in Washington.
Something that few people know they can do is send in a request to tour the White House. Again, this service is also free but takes some preparation. If you’re an international traveler, you need to contact your embassy at least a month in advance to secure a spot, and for American citizens through a congressman. However, the process is well worth it. So don’t just stare at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, take a look inside yourself!
The National Mall is another must-see site when in Washington, DC. This long landscaped park has a pond in the middle and grassy areas as well. On one end is the US Capitol, another free place to visit, highly recommended. At the other end is the Lincoln Memorial, which is a beautiful place to enjoy the amazing architecture and catch some shade in the summertime.
While you’re at the National Mall, swing by the Hirshhorn Museum, a wonderful art museum located close by. This museum is again, free, and has a beautiful sculptural garden as well as unique contemporary art exhibitions inside the building.
Washington, DC has a thriving nightlife scene. If you are looking to enjoy some great jazz up close and personal, go to Blues Alley Club, located at the bottom of the Georgetown neighborhood. Adams Morgan is another fun area to go out in with tons of bars and restaurants and a youthful crowd.
If you’re looking for a usual place to eat, check out Ledo’s Pizza. This restaurant is famous for their unusual pizza pies which are shaped into rectangles and cut into square pieces. There are a few locations throughout the city, including one in Georgetown, and everyone will find something on their classic menu.
