Three Northwest Getaways for Families
You don't have to go far from home to escape this summer. Some of our best trips are just a short drive away in the beautiful Northwest. The sun doesn't show itself much here in Seattle, except for the three months of summer so we do our best to maximize every day here. Wherever this summer takes you, be sure to explore quick local escapes in your own backyard. Here are a few of my favorites in the Northwest.
Go Glamping: G is for glamour camping - glamping is like packing a five-star hotel room into a canvas tent. HipTravelMama was raving about this last summer and now this summer we are seeing this trend on many magazines including Seattle Met, Seattle Magazine and Sunset. There are numerous glamping sites around the country and the world. Cave B Inn at SageCliffe on the Columbia gorge also has luxury yurts and cliff-side retreats among the vineyards. Give it a whirl!

Sun shines bright over Quincy's Cave B Inn
The sky spreads differently on the eastside of the Cascades. Rain is replaced with sun, streaky cirrus clouds displaced by the billowy cumulus variety. Still, it's easy to forget, when you're living sun break to sun break, that we west side mossbacks live only ninety minutes from this high altitude desert clime. But, oh it's so worth it to remember, because when you head over Snoqualmie Pass in springtime, you enter a new state of mind. First your squint disappears along the endless horizon, then you come to admire the brown earth and every wild flower you spy feels like a hidden gem unearthed. I recently traveled the two hours to Cave B Inn at Sagecliffe in Quincy for a weekend of flower blooms, wine and, have I mentioned, sun, glorious sun.
Quincy is also home to the 15,266-acre Quincy Lakes Wildlife Area, an exceptional natural theater of the eastern Washington landscape. Dusty Lake, the main pothole from the Ancient Lakes region of the Great Flood, offers an excellent refuge for migratory and resident waterfowl, sandhill cranes, plus a panoply of other wildlife. Hikers will also find a surprising number of waterfalls and wetlands. Cave B is the creation of Vince and Carol Bryan. What began as a desire to spend retirement making wine, evolved into a paragon of relaxed hospitality. The series of independent dwellings, called "CliffeHouses" are ideal for escape, as the wide vistas reveal the spring green of the Columbia River, and the freestanding design draws you toward solitude. The Bryans envisioned the Inn as an opportunity to expose more people to the desert's aesthetic. They've succeeded so well that they've now added Chiwana Village, a setting of 25 upscale yurts. The Bryans already know something about culture, two decades ago they created the Gorge Amphitheater, the most picturesque concert venue on the continent.
I arrive at Cave B just in time to visit the Tasting Room, where the featured wines of the day include a very good 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon, among several solid merlot vintages. Walking the paths through the vines, past the highly regarded spa, I keep looking back over my shoulder at the Columbia, a willing captive of its fortitude. It is not unusual to hear chamber music and other classical music perform outside the Tasting Room during late spring and summer. The sagebrush mariposa lily and arrowleaf balsamroot appear so delicate, a single inflorescence mounted atop a vulnerable stem, it is difficult to comprehend how they even survive the zephyrs let alone the gusts. The hearty foliage of the mock orange and nootka rose, however, can clearly withstand the breeziest of spring days.
Western meadowlarks and recently arrived redwing blackbirds celebrate the spring sunshine in song, the meadowlarks herald the day from the top of sagebrush, the blackbirds from the reeds. Ravens course up the river, Canada Geese follow the Pacific Flyway en route to northern nesting grounds.
Treasured sandhill crane nesting areas are found within a half hour's drive in Othello. These migrants present one of nature's most stunning palettes, a subtle juxtaposition of deep clay-red forehead and slate grey body. Quiet colors serve as one of the visual delicacies of the desert. Whether you were raised in the deciduous forests of the east coast, or the conifers of Puget Sound, it takes a few visits to appreciate the simplicity in a Brewer's sparrow's brown or the green of new leaves in the sagebrush. The desert also first appears to be devoid of life, yet upon closer inspection, this ecology rivals the Hoh Rainforest. Suddenly, a coyote skips away from behind (or was she in front of) some rabbit brush, a horned lizard rests on the basalt, until now invisible.
Peace of mind envelopes me as I amble down through the desert to the great Columbia, reflecting a green-blue shade I have never quite observed before. It's hard to take my eyes off the river, as the winds conjure a series of whitecaps. This river, once so powerful, continues to declare its intention, as the high walls of several gorges make obvious. Every river is magical, an entreaty to lose oneself in a movement larger than our history. But this river, that describes its path through the desert, that turns and twists to suit only its fancy, that provides the nourishment for millions of acres, this river demands our gaze and awe as often as possible, especially when said river reflects the vernal sun.
