Washington
The northern section of this region is rich in historical and ecological landmarks as well. National forests make up the bulk of this area and include attractions such as Kettle Falls and the Sherman Pass Byway, a 35-mile network of heritage sites, wildlife areas and spectacular vistas. On the opposite side of Washington is the southwest region. Southwest Washington is Lewis and Clark territory, a land rich in American heritage. Interpretive markers trace the explorers’ last 100 miles to the Pacific Ocean. Known for fertile estuaries and the Willapa National Wildlife Reserve, Southwest Washington is characterized by small towns and century-old landmarks. Meriwether Lewis’s notes refer to this region as “the most desirable location for a settlement west of the Rocky Mountains.”
