Thanks everyone! We do have reservations made for most of the trip, but we are thinking the first part of the trip may be a bit ambitious. Here it is.....
July 23-26 Coeur d'Alene
July 26-28. Port Townsend (Fort Worden)
July 28-31 Columbia river gorge (Ainsworth SP)
July 31-August 2 Northern Oregon Coast (Nehalem Bay SP)
August 2-5 Central Oregon Coast ((Beverly Beach SP)
Question...is the leg of our trip going to Port Townsend too much? Appreciate your feedback!
It will be a bit of a drive it is mid week so you will have traffic to deal with.
You have options you can go south around the sound and up the west side to Port Townsend.
OR
Go north either on 405, or get from I90 up to Highway 2, (many options) come down near Everett, and catch a ferry from Edmond's to Kingston, then drive across the Hood Canal floating bridge to Port Townsend. :)
Ferry fares
Spring Schedule
Good choices on the State Parks, while Beverly Beach is on the east side of 101, you have direct beach access by trail under the 101 bridge over the creek, about 60' over the creek.
