The Northwestern region of the United States offers some of the most stunning scenery in our country. From the dramatic Oregon Coast with its charming lighthouses and sweeping views, to the Redwood Forests of northern California, to the Columbia River Gorge. Along the way, there are interesting places to visit, and much to see and do. On this trip, we’ll fly to San Francisco (enjoying the city), making our way through winc country and into the Redwoods. We’ll stay along the coast in Brookings, Oregon and enjoy a jet boat ride on the Rogue River. We then enjoy the Oregon Coast, the Portland Rose Festival and the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. We fly home from Portland.
This is the perfect time to be in in the region. Temperatures are pleasant and beauties of nature are on full display. You may have been to many of these places before, but visiting in the late spring is especially beautiful with FULL waterfalls, beautiful flowers and more. There is much to see and do along the way and we are excited to show it to you. We expect demand to be heavy. Space is limited to 42 passengers.
June 2: Today we meet at the airport and board our non-stop flight to San Francisco. Our motor coach will meet us and take us to Fisherman’s Wharf where you can enjoy some lunch and free time. There are fun shops, open-air markets, museums and even a World War II Submarine. We’ve also included a cable car ride to Union Square where our bus will take us back. We’ll check into our hotel and relax. Dinner is included tonight at one of the fine restaurants at Pier 39. Tour to pay for cable car and dinner today.
June 3: After a relaxing breakfast this morning, a local tour guide will join us to show us the highlights of the city including Golden Gate Park, Golden Gate Bridge, The Cliff House, Chinatown, Scenic Overlook, the Presidio and more. Though the city has changed in recent years, it is still one of our most beautiful cities due to its natural setting and variety of attractions. This afternoon, we’ll cross the Golden Gate Bridge and drive north to Garberville. Our drive takes us through the pleasant valleys displaying lovely grape vineyards as far as the eye can see. This is California wine country and it is a delightful drive. Our hotel puts us in position to enjoy the redwoods tomorrow. Tour to pay for breakfast and tour today
June 4: Today we enjoy the mighty Redwood Forests of northern California. We’re 20 minutes from Humboldt State Park where nature displays its incredible masterpieces. The crowns of the tallest redwoods soar more than 300 feet skyward, taller and older than any other living thing known to man. Some of these trees are over 1,000 years old and many were here when Columbus discovered America! After a short stop at the Visitors Center, we’ll drive over to the Founder’s Grove and enjoy a 30 minute walk (optional) through these incredible giants. Several years ago, one of the tallest trees fell and you’ll get some perspective on its size which is over a football field long. This stroll is impressive. We’ll then continue on the coach enjoying part of the famous “Avenue of the Giants” as we continue north. After lunch, we’ll spend the afternoon in Redwood National Park. We’ll enjoy, in my opinion, the most beautiful stroll through the Redwoods which is in Lady Bird Johnson’s Grove. The trail is flat and the varying scenes are simply beyond words. These giants thrive ONLY in this part of the world. We’re just a few minutes from the border with Oregon. We’ll stay in Brookings, Oregon at the Beach Front Inn. All rooms have an ocean view, about 50 yards from the water. We’ll have dinner together tonight. Tour to pay for light breakfast, dinner and park admissions today.
June 5: We’ll enjoy a thirty minute ride up the coast to Gold Beach where we’ll board a Jet Boat for a delightful ride on the Rogue River. The scenery is phenomenal. We’ll cruise for about two hours to the town of Agness where we’ll enjoy a lunch buffet, followed by our return trip to Gold Beach. Watch for beaver, otter, osprey and black-tailed deer. Our bus will meet us to take us up the coast to Florence, where our hotel near the lovely Suislaw River. Tour to pay for breakfast, lunch and boat trip today.
June 6: Today you’ll experience one of the truly scenic drives. The 100 mile stretch to Newport, Oregon is scene after spectacular scene that cannot be overrated. We’ll pass by endless bays and witness the relentless, pounding surf. We’ll see hillsides full of rhododendrons, myrtle and azaleas. We’ll make several photo stops along the way, including the famous Cape Perpetua area where you’ll have a chance to walk the trails and enjoy the views. The road weaves along rugged cliffs with rock promontories that stretch for miles. We’ll also see the interesting Haceta Head Laighthouse State Park along the way. This is the most photographed lighthouse on the Oregon Coast and you’ll see why. We’ll then continue to the town of Newport to see another famous lighthouse called the Yaquina Head Light. If we hit the tides right, you can explore in the nearby tide pools which display some amazing sea life. A late lunch is on your own in quaint Depoe Bay before continuing inland to Portland arriving at about 6:30. You can relax and have dinner around the hotel tonight in the Portland suburbs.

June 7: Today we enjoy one of our country’s great traditions: The Portland Rose Festival. We’ll start with reserved seats to the main event: The Grand Floral Parade. Our seats are inside the coliseum (fully covered) in the center, affording perfect views as they pass through the arena. After the parade, we’ll visit the famous Portland Rose Gardens in a stunning setting overlooking the city. Every kind of rose imaginable is displayed here. Since we got up very early this morning, we’ll have an hour to rest at the hotel this afternoon. In the evening, we have dinner reservations at McGraths, one of Portland’s lovely restaurants. Tour to pay for light breakfast, parade and dinner today.
June 8: We’ve seen some incredible scenery to this point, but the Columbia River Gorge is also spectacular. Our day trip today will take us east of Portland on one of America’s great scenic drives. Our first stop is Vista House with sweeping views of the Columbia River. We’ll then enjoy photo stops at three of the gorge’s famous waterfalls, including impressive Multnomah Falls, the fourth highest in the world. We’ll enjoy a delicious lunch at the Multnomah Lodge.
