Thousands of years ago, glaciers and ice floods transformed the Pacific Northwest, creating canyons, hills, and valleys in the once-flat landscape. This tour allows you to visit locations in the Seattle area where water and ice have left their mark, including the vast canyon of Dry Falls, the Coulees, and rolling fields speckled with orchards and farmland. Along the way, your guide narrates and provides historical background.
- Experience Pacific Northwest geography and learn about the region’s history
- Drive through the rough terrain in an SUV
- Easy round-trip transportation from hotels in the Seattle area
- Recharge with lunch, bottled water, and snacks
