Tucked away in the Blue Mountains, Umatilla National Park spans over 1m acres (400,000ha) that run from southeast Washington to northeast Oregon. This national forest offers the perfect spot for many outdoor sports – rafting, fishing, cycling, hiking and hunting. While you’ll find several campgrounds on site, the Olive Lake Campground offers lakefront views and prime wildlife-viewing spots. If you’re a wintersports lover, Mountain Road #30 offers well-groomed trails for snowmobiles and cross-country skiers. Recommended by local insider Grace Coleman
