US Pacific Northwest & California Coast

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The US Pacific Coast stretches from the rugged, rain-soaked forests of the Pacific Northwest — spanning Washington and Oregon — down through California's sun-drenched beaches, dramatic cliffs, and vibrant cities. The region is renowned for its extraordinary diversity: old-growth rainforests, active volcanoes like Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens, the iconic redwood groves, and the scenic Pacific Coast Highway winding past Big Sur. Travellers come for world-class hiking, surfing, whale watching, and cycling, as well as the cultural draws of Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. It's a classic road-trip corridor that blends wild coastline, mountain wilderness, and some of North America's most celebrated urban food and arts scenes.

Pacific Coast Adventure — Self-Launched: Seattle to San Francisco

A self-launched 9-day run down the US Pacific coast from Seattle to San Francisco, recreating the Globus 'Pacific Coast Adventure' using Amtrak trains, regional buses, hostel dorms and budget motels instead of a guided coach. You'll hit Seattle's Pike Place and Museum of Flight, Portland's Powell's Books and craft breweries, the Oregon coast lighthouses and dunes, a Rogue River jetboat, the Redwoods and Avenue of the Giants, a Sonoma wine stop, then two nights in San Francisco with the Golden Gate, Chinatown and a Little Italy food walk. All costs are approximate per-person GBP and assume hostel/shared accommodation and public transport.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for US Pacific Northwest & California Coast yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
