Highway 101 - a roadtrip down the west coast is a classic must-do experience. Starting from the Pacific Northwest, a gondola ride over Mt Rainier, to a Volcano within a Volcano (Crater Lake National Park), to the warm beaches of Pacifica - here were our stops and adventures. 

Crystal Mountain Resort - 2 hours outside of downtown Seattle - easily a fun, accessible day trip away from the city. Come to escape, stay for the 7,000 ft gondola ride!

Day 1 - At Crystal Mountain Resort - take a Gondola ride all the way up over Crystal Mountain, to literal new heights, to find a restaurant 6,800 feet in the air.
The Resort
Let's Ride!
$25 for a ride or $36 for unlimited gondola rides! Afraid of heights and wind much? Do it anyways.

Views from the cables taking us straight into the clouds!

Views from the cable car - queue the Fray here!

Atop the Mountain... it's cold!

On clear days you can see past Mt Rainer

Get some Hot Cocoa at the mountaintop restaurant

It HAS LTE SIGNAL WE'RE SAVED!!!

And Lastly take go on a journey on horseback... to be continued
Horseback riding trail right next to the lodge - your westworld dreams galore. This horse's name was Billy - just because. He was very territorial and pushed the other horses away. He just wanted scratches.
