I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND MT. RAINIER AND THE PALOUSE AS THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND CAN BE DONE IN THREE DAYS EVEN THO THEY ARE SEPARATED BY SOME 100 PLUS MILES.

If you're down south, the drive along the Columbia River on the Washington side is a knockout.

I have lived in WA my entire life and live in Seattle now. Smoke in the air from forest fires at the end of summer has become the new normal here. I think your best chance of smoke free images would be on the Olympic Peninsula. You can drive SR 101 around the entire Peninsula. I would make the Port Angeles/Sequim area my base. Places to see with reasonably short driving distances are: The Dungeness Spit, Cape Flattery (the western most point in the continental US), Shi Shi Beach (national park pass and short hike required), Rialto Beach, Second Beach and Third Beach (near the small Indian village La Push) and the Hoh River Rain Forest if you still have time. These locations, all within a driving time of a hour or two from the base location, would easily fill up an entire week of exploring and shooting. Some hiking is required at each location I have listed but if you are reasonably fit they are not difficult hikes.

Don't know where you live but the distance is more then 250 miles. These two places are on opposite sides oft he state.

I don't know how bad the smoke is there, but on highway two, between the summit and Leavenworth is gorgeous.

That's a really nice shot, now if there was just a big bull moose standing in the pond. Oh well you can't have everything!

It won't recover in a weeks time-- unless you like views of blackened trees...
