Vancouver USA Overview
Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and The Cascade Mountains, on the north bank of the Columbia River, Vancouver USA is as naturally beautiful as it is diverse. Explore and you will find no other city in the Pacific Northwest offers such a combination of colourful history, recreational activities, charming shops, extraordinary restaurants, a burgeoning craft brew scene, charming hospitality and premier events.
At the entrance to the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, the neighboring cities of Camas and Washougal boast boutique shops and Pendleton Woolen Mills.
In addition to its parks, lakes, hiking areas, and shabby chic stores, Battle Ground serves as Clark County’s wine country.
Ridgefield is known for its majestic Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge, which is home to many species of waterfowl and surrounded by several hiking and walking trails. Just north of the city, the new Ilani Casino Resort draws gamers and diners both day and night.
North County is home to small cities rooted in pioneer history, including Amboy, La Center, Yacolt, and Woodland. The area serves as the southern gateway to Mount St. Helens and is home to attractions such as the North Clark County Museum, Pomeroy Living History Farms, Chelatchie Prairie Railroad, and Hulda Klager Lilac Gardens.
Portland, Oregon is just across the river. Nationally known as one of the greenest, friendliest, and most epicurean cities, Portlanders take their (un)official slogan of ‘Keep Portland Weird’ to heart. Signature regional attractions, such as museums, zoos, and gardens are just minutes from Vancouver.
