10 Breathtaking Photos That Remind Us Why We Love Washington State

Stop for a second and look around at the beauty that beholds your eyes as you take scenic Washington. Our state is blessed with some glorious landscapes, from mountains to hills, lush evergreen trees, lighthouses, beaches, and volcano peaks, to boot!

Another glorious feast for your eyes is our lovely volcanos disguised as snow-covered mountains. Take for example Mount Rainier. You can go camping in nearby Dayton before you head up to the mountain trail where all the visitors love to go.
