Nothing beats free fun in the great outdoors.

Ask anyone who's done it and they'll tell you there's nothing like exploring the natural wonders of the Pacific Northwest. And if you live in Boise, you don't have to drive far to do it!

No matter your age or your budget, the PNW is home to a bounty of outdoor activities that cater to every explorer's sense of adventure. The region's national park's are known for their inclusivity, family-friendly trails, hikes, and campsites kids and parents love.

FYI: if you've never experienced the sheer joy and wonder of camping under Idaho's starry skies, you don't know what you've been missing.

Idaho couples & visitors are never far from a romantic getaway.

The PNW is a haven for couples in search of an enchanting escape. What couple wouldn't want to indulge themselves in a secluded cabin and waking up to the soothing sounds of nature with breathtaking mountain views over breakfast?

And who can forget about the region's stunning scenic drives? The Cascade Loop and the Pacific Coast Highway are peppered with intimate, picturesque picnic sites and sunset views for lovers to bask in. Whether you're strolling the beautiful tulip fields in Skagit Valley or raising a glass on a wine-tasting tour in Willamette Valley, the great outdoors of the PNW set the stage for romance.

Go solo. 

Many a solo traveler has indulged in Seattle and Portland 's vibrant city life before their great escape to a tranquil mountain retreat or hidden hot springs.

Hikers and backpackers looking for peace and solitude love challenging the Wonderland Trail that wraps around Mount Rainier. With a welcoming community of fellow adventurers and a landscape that inspires awe and reflection, exploring the Pacific Northwest solo is a transformative and rejuvenating experience.
