Be Curious

Through lush forests, semi-arid desert, sun-soaked valleys, and dramatic mountain peaks, the Columbia Cascades is a diverse region waiting to be explored. Get off the beaten path and let your curiosity drive you as you connect with the communities of the Thompson Okanagan and North Central Washington.

Indulge your senses in Canada with fresh, fragrant flavours along the Okanagan Corridor, explore rugged peaks and BC wine on the Similkameen Valley Road Trip, get your adrenaline pumping on the Big White Boundary Road Trip, venture through Boundary Country’s pioneering past on the Boundary Monashee Loop, find boundless outdoor adventure on the Monashee Loop, relax and soak up the sun on the Shuswap Loop, experience the untamed wilderness of the North Thompson Valley and the Canadian Rockies on the North Thompson/Columbia Icefields Parkway Loop or discover the glacial shorelines of ancient lakes in cowboy country on the Gold Country Loop.

In Washington, travel along the picturesque Three County Corridor through Douglas, Chelan and Okanogan Counties, take an adventure that National Geographic Traveler describes as “one of America’s grandest, most spectacular drives” on the Cascade Loop, adventure through part of a National Geologic Trail on the Ice Age Floods Loop, travel through one of the largest Indigenous reservations in Washington on the Colville Tribes Road Trip, journey through dozens of lakes and quiet towns on the Many Lakes Loop, and explore ghost towns on the Historic Highlands Loop.
