Volcano Country

Hwy 12 (a major east west corridor) also known as White Pass Hwy, is a State designated scenic byway and gives travelers easy access to all 3 volcanic mountains.

Mt Rainier is Washington's most famous mountain and icon. It is easily identified on the new Washington State quarter. The native name for it is Tahoma, "the mountain that was God".

At the heart of the Volcano Country is Mt. Rainier National Park. This park is a four-season destination with hiking, mountain climbing, snowshoeing, snowboarding and skiing. In 1972, the park set a world record for the most snow at 93 feet. Crystal Mountain and White Pass are world-class ski areas that benefit from the snow.

The most famous volcano in the region is Mt. St. Helens who blew her top in 1980. Since then the earth surrounding the mountain has been reborn with new life. Visitors flock to the Visitors centers opened in the area to view the rebirth and learn about this active volcano which on rare occasion rewards them with a puff of steam.

The southern part of the Volcano Region also encompasses the Columbia River Gorge some of the most spectacular terrain in the country. Windsurfers and kite-boarders flock to the Gorge to perform their aerobatics on the broad river. There are many other recreational opportunities for hikers, bikers, white water rafters, golfers and fisherman who enjoy this year round playground. The Columbia River is the natural border between Oregon and Washington.

• Wine Chocolate and Yoga October 21 - October 23, 2011

  Do you remember what you did last Monday? What you did 3 weeks ago Saturday? How about yesterday? Our time and experiences become a big blur from one day to the next, and it’s often difficult to remember the pleasurable moments. Which is exactly why we’re suggesting you slow down and savor life one moment at a time.

  Easier said than done, right? Well, not necessarily. We think we’re onto something, and we’re inviting you to join us for a special weekend of wine, chocolate, and yoga, where you’ll learn that everything in life is better, richer, sweeter when experienced in the present moment.

  Did you know that chocolate and wine…

  …contain flavenoids and antioxidants which protect the body from aging caused by free radicals?

  …reduce blood pressure?

  …increase good cholesterol?

  …and balance hormones while heightening your senses?

  Yoga does all these things as well. Now imagine combining the three together!! We’re convinced that the combination of our 3 favorite things to do, eat, and drink will result in a memorable experience we’ll never forget.

  Join us as we learn to turn instant gratification into a sensual experience. We’ll engage in a chocolate chakra tour by sampling specially designed chocolates that activate our chakras, along with yoga postures and meditation to add balance. Next, we’ll amplify all of our senses with a vigorous yoga session, immediately followed by sampling wines carefully selected and paired with more delectable chocolates. And to wrap-up, we’ll close with restorative yoga poses and a chocolate meditation. Can you say delicious?

  Come, and simply enjoy being. You’ll gain a new appreciation for all the little pleasures in life. Promise.
