A list of our favorite places, plus sites that we want to go to but haven’t seen yet, in Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah. Because the western U.S. is so big and so full of awesome sights to see, I’m dividing them up, and I’ll list the Rocky Mountain states and Southwest states in my next post.

After leaving Glacier National Park, we traveled several hours to far-western Montana, and spent a few nights in Troy. It is beautiful country, here.

Until this trip, the only time we’d spent in Idaho was on I-84 on our way to Oregon. Not very exciting. But we found out there is so much more to this big state!
