Lush, rainy, and almost too stunning for words, the road trip from Vancouver, B.C. to Coos Bay is an adventure through the Pacific Northwest. A 10-hour drive, we believe this route is best enjoyed over two days. Hike through Olympic National Park, kayak on Lake Quinault, explore the sand-swept shores of Oregon’s Northern Coast, and stay with our friends at Adrift Hotel in Long Beach, Washington. These are some of our favorite places to visit across Washington and Oregon.
