I believe you have big RV and Jeep toad. There's a lot you could do if you cross the Cascades on US12 (starting roughly at Yakima). This byways site gives some ideas, though it is only one of many sources

For example, take 12 over White Pass and setup camp at Ohana... in the Nat Park, or if that is full, LaWisWis Nat Forest. Then spend the next N days touring:
- to Paradise on the south flank of Mt R.
- to Sunrise on the NE flank
- WA410 east to US12, and back (or takes 'shortcut' over Bethel Ridge)
- drive south from Randal to the east side of Mt St Helens
- continue south through GPNat Forest to the Columbia, see the Gorge, loop back via other forest roads, or US97
