My July podcast is available!
In this episode of the “Journey Jukebox” travel podcast, I explore the hidden gems, fascinating history, and scenic beauty of Vancouver, Washington—a destination that deserves a spot on every Pacific Northwest itinerary.
Located along the Columbia River not far from Portland, Oregon, Vancouver blends rich American history with vibrant waterfront experiences, beautiful parks, and easy access to some of the Northwest’s most spectacular landscapes.
I share highlights from visiting Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, the first U.S. military post in the Pacific Northwest, strolling historic Officers’ Row, exploring Pearson Field, one of America’s oldest operating airfields, and taking in breathtaking views throughout the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.
The episode also includes a day trip into Portland to experience the famous International Rose Test Garden and historic Pittock Mansion, along with recommendations for riverfront dining, local wineries, and a stay at the stylish Hotel Indigo Vancouver Waterfront.
Whether you’re planning a Pacific Northwest road trip, exploring destinations for America’s 250th birthday, or simply looking for a city that blends history, nature, music, and culinary experiences, Vancouver, Washington, offers an unforgettable adventure.
