Description: The best part of California.

Description: Geographically, Washington is dramatic and varied. The Cascade Mountains cut the state in two. Western Washington is known for evergreen forests, coastal rain, islands, and the Puget Sound, while Eastern Washington is much drier, with farmland, rolling hills, and desert-like areas. The state has volcanoes such as Mount Rainier, Mount St. Helens, and Mount Adams, and Mount Rainier dominates the skyline around Seattle.

Description: Geographically, it has more variety than almost any other state. California includes sandy beaches, rugged cliffs, fertile valleys, deserts, and high mountains. The Sierra Nevada range contains Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous U.S., while Death Valley holds the lowest and hottest point in North America. Much of the state has a Mediterranean-style climate, with wet winters and dry summers, though deserts and alpine regions break that pattern.

Description: Geographically, BC is one of the most rugged and scenic regions in North America. It has a deeply indented coastline filled with islands, fjords, and inlets; dense temperate rainforests; and multiple mountain ranges, including the Coast Mountains, Rocky Mountains, and Columbia Mountains. The interior includes plateaus, grasslands, lakes, and semi-arid valleys, while the north is remote and sparsely populated.

Description: Geographically, Oregon packs a lot into a single state. The Pacific coastline runs the full length of its western edge and is almost entirely public land. Inland, the Willamette Valley is fertile and heavily populated, while the Cascade Mountains divide the state. East of the Cascades, the land becomes drier, more open, and sparsely populated, with high desert, plateaus, and ranch country. Oregon has rainforests, volcanoes, rivers, and deep forests, including Crater Lake, the deepest lake in the U.S.
