Then, move on to the Lake Crescent area where the group can choose to rent a kayak/canoe, walk the trails near the lodge, or set off on a guided hike to the picturesque Marymere Falls through Lowland, Old Growth forest.

Around mid-morning the group will depart for Portland and drive along the scenic Hood Canal. A stop will be made for lunch on your own and we will make it to Portland in the late afternoon. Set off on a CEO-led orientation walk of Portland and then hit the town for dinner at your leisure, or maybe try one of the many great breweries the city is known for.

Opt for a group dinner together this evening.
