Monday (July 7): Fly from Grand Rapids to Sea-Tac Airport near Seattle then get on the ferry to Whidbey Island. After we set up camp at Fort Ebey State park, we'll end our first day with pizza at a local restaurant and a sunset hike on the bluffs at Ebey's Landing National Historic Reserve.

Tuesday (July 8): Time for a mountain hike! We'll take the ferry from Whidbey Island to the Olympic Peninsula then spend the day hiking up Mount Townsend. From the top, you'll have views of Olympic National Park, the volcanoes in the Cascade Range, and Puget Sound. After the hike, we'll have dinner in Port Townsend before taking the ferry back to Whidbey Island.

Wednesday (July 9): Start the day with a hike at Deception Pass State Park. Then we'll spend a few hours on a guided kayak tour in Bowman's Bay followed by a hike up Mt. Erie for a great view of Puget Sound. We'll end the day with a great meal at a local Mexican restaurant.

Thursday (July 10): Time for a hike up a volcano! We'll pack up our tents and drive to Mt. Baker for a hike up part way up the mountain. This is a highlight of the trip with great views of the glaciers on Mt. Baker and the surrounding mountains. After the hike, we'll drive 3 hours through North Cascades National Park to Pearrygin Lake State Park on the eastern side of the mountains.

Friday (July 11): Fun day on the eastern slopes of the Cascades. We'll hike to a beautiful mountain lake and enjoy lunch and a refreshing (and very cold) swim. After the hike we'll head to a local swimming hole for more swimming then spend time strolling around the western themed town of Winthrop before relaxing at our campsite and watching the stars come out.

Saturday (July 12): White Water Rafting Day. Pack up camp in the morning then drive to Leavenworth for a half day of rafting on the Wenatchee River. After the rafting trip, enjoy souvenir shopping and dinner in Leavenworth before setting up for our last night of camping at Lake Wenatchee State Park.

Sunday (July 13): Time to head home. Pack up our campsite and make the 3 hour drive back to Seattle for your departure.
