Here are some good day trips from Vancouver:
Mount St. Helens, just an hour north of Vancouver, erupted 32 years ago and continues to fascinate people to this day. Various observatories and museums, guided climbs and programs, and helicopter tours allow visitors to see the awe-inspiring volcano from all angles, including the crater.
For some coastal action, spend a day at Long Beach or venture further north to Westport or Ocean Shores, with miles and miles of coastline and cozy small towns.
Hop on Highway 14 and drive east to the scenic Columbia River Gorge. Visit the many waterfalls, hike to the top of Beacon Rock for an incredible view, or climb aboard the Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler boat for a ride on the Columbia River.
