Rafting the Cascade Loop
with Alpine Adventures Tours
(SM)
Driving the Cascade Loop in Washington is stunning. Rafting it is
breathtaking. Our expert guides will escort you on this wondrous eight-day
journey that has just the right mix of hard adventure and soft landings. Not
only will you raft the four best rivers, you'll learn of Chinook Salmon and
see for yourself why they are endangered. You'll ramble through amazing Ohme
Gardens while overlooking the apple capital of the world. After, you'll wander
through a little bit of Bavaria, right here in Washington, in a town called
Leavenworth. Then finish up in Seattle and see for yourself why the locals
think it is the best city in the world!
The Mountain Loop Six
Days Around Mount Rainier National Park with Alpine Adventures Tours
The undisputed Queen of all
mountains in Washington is Mt. Rainier. Tahoma to the natives, this volcano at
14,411 feet is not only the tallest peak in Washington, it is a living god to
all those who have lived beneath her for centuries. 10,000 years ago the
mountain collapsed on itself sending a 300 foot wall of mud 30 miles north,
creating the plain that now is home to many towns, including Puyallup,
Enumclaw, Auburn, Black Diamond among others. On this adventure you will
discover all that makes "The Mountain" what it is… the greatest
volcano in the chain of mountains called the "Cascades." Tahoma is
not dead, she is only sleeping!
Battle of the Volcanoes
with Alpine Adventures Tours
In ancient Pacific
Northwest Native American lore, Klickitat (Mt. Adams, 12,276 feet) battled
with Wiyeast (Mt. Hood, 11.245 feet) for the hand of the beautiful maiden Loo
wit (Mt. St. Helens, 8,366 feet). Klickitat and Wiyeast would battle by
shooting great walls of flame miles into the sky. Finally, the gods sided with
Klickitat by cleaving the earth and separating Wiyeast forever from Loo wit
with Ncht Wana, the Columbia River. We will explore this ancient volcanic land
and include the queen of all Pacific Northwest volcanoes, Tahoma (Mt. Rainier,
14,411 feet).
Olympic National Park

aptly named "water, water every where." You could not possibly find
an itinerary anywhere in the world that covers more different wonderful ways

sea kayak, whitewater raft, observe the Orca , Tufted Puffin and Grey Whale or
sea birds, hike along beaches and rivers, fly in a float plane, float through
a rain forest and if that is not enough, sail a beautiful schooner over Puget
Sound! All along you'll be learning of the diverse marine and river ecosystems
and the wildlife that calls them home.
