Pacific NorthWest July/august
We are planning a summer trip (late July-August) with our grown children. We will meet them after crossing the country in the rv in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. From there we will have approximately 14 day...

Both DW and I are from Portland area. I grew up in the Columbia river Gorge and we have lived near Dayton for 30 years. Have made the trip back many times. Coeur d'Alene is a nice stop. We have stayed at Blackwell Island a private campground close to town and very nice. The Oregon State Park campgrounds we like in the Gorge are Memaloose close to the Dalles and Ainsworth near Troutdale near Portland. Some great hiking in the Gorge, plenty of waterfalls. Hood river has a lot of wind surfers and it's less than an hour drive to Mt Hood. We like Fort Stevens State Park and it is close to the Lewis and Clark exhibits. Plenty of good State Parks on the coast but they are pretty full on week ends so need reservations. You won't have any problem finding things to do. mount St Hellens is interesting on the way to Seattle and so much more like the Rain Forest.
