Hi there,
I’m a New Zealander studying in the UK and in the summer of 2025 I’d like to explore the Pacific Northwest of America/Canada.
I’d like to see Washington state, a bit of British Columbia, and a bit of Alaska. I’m thinking that perhaps I should start my journey in Portland, Oregon, and then work my way north utilising any existing train networks.
Obviously these are huge places, far bigger than where I’m from, so I’ll need some help defining this ambition of mine. I have a year to save for this trip and my goals are (1) to see Cascadian natural beauty, (2) to pass through desolate/quaint Pacific townships, and (3) have the occasional city stop for live music.
So if you’re from this area or have travelled there, what are some recommendations that you might have? E.g., places to go, hikes, methods of transport, anything to make this dream more feasible.
(Note: so far I have friends in Vancouver who I can stay with, and I have an American ESTA and Canadian ETA). Thank you for your time
