OVERVIEW

Get ready for an extraordinary journey from Columbus to Tacoma, a cross-country adventure that unfolds across diverse landscapes and vibrant cities. Our adventure begins in the heartland of Ohio, where we bid farewell to the bustling streets of Columbus. As we venture westward, the terrain transforms, giving way to rolling hills and picturesque farmlands. Along the way, we'll encounter charming small towns, each with its own unique character and local treasures.

As we traverse the vast expanse of the Midwest, the landscape flattens, and the endless prairies stretch out before us. We'll marvel at the towering cornfields and witness the grandeur of the Missouri River as it meanders through the heart of America. The rhythm of the journey lulls us into a sense of tranquility, allowing us to appreciate the simple beauty of the passing scenery. Cities like Omaha, Nebraska, and Sioux Falls, South Dakota, beckon us to explore their vibrant cultural offerings and rich histories.

As we approach the western horizon, the terrain begins to shift once more. The Rocky Mountains rise majestically in the distance, their snow-capped peaks piercing the azure sky. We'll navigate winding mountain passes, marvel at cascading waterfalls, and immerse ourselves in the breathtaking beauty of national parks. The journey culminates in the vibrant city of Tacoma, Washington, where we'll embrace the Pacific Northwest's unique blend of urban energy and natural splendor. From the bustling waterfront to the towering Mount Rainier, Tacoma offers a captivating finale to our cross-country adventure.
