In the Pacific Northwest consider a glamping cabin at Mt. Hood Village Resort, Thousand Trails Pacific City or Thousand Trails Seaside. Of course, the Mt. Hood area is a natural playground all year round so skiing in winter at the iconic Skibowl, the blooming fields of flowers along the hiking trails come spring, stand-up paddling and kayaking on the Hood River come summer and the beautiful palette of autumn as the trees change colors. Pacific City and Seaside are both great for exploring the rugged Oregon coastline with activities like clamming, fishing and water sports.
