Well, I want things outside of Vancouver as well. Like I know Mnt Rainer is something people have mentioned. So, i’m looking outside the area at least mayhe 2.5 hours away at most

When are you planning on visiting? Mount Rainier is only open for weekends currently, and the trails are all under snow.

I’d recommend going to Cape Disappointment and Long Beach. Or down the Oregon coast to Cannon Beach.

If you do rainier, plan on getting to the park at the butt crack of dawn. It fills up very quickly.

Parking is the problem, they won’t let you if there’s no open parking spots. You can be waiting hours for park entry.

That’s a bold assumption. Lol Most locals don’t actually visit the Mountain all that often. Mostly due to cost and overcrowding.
