While outdoor beauty abounds in the state of Washington, in addition to the sprawling mountains, lakes, and sea, you’ll also find the fun, the elegant, the educational, and the strange. Washington is a great state that has a wide variety of things to offer.

51. Washington State International Kite Festival (Long Beach)

This week long event is an annual tradition held the third full week of August. Kite enthusiasts from all over the world visit for this one of a kind event. You’ll see kite battles, teddy bear drops, kite making, and a lighted kite night fly which brightens the whole sky. Spend a day – or an evening – here./a>

52. Gifford Pinchot National Forest (Randle)

Located in Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Layser Cave is a short hike from the parking lot but definitely worth seeing because of its rich history. It’s estimated to be more than 7,000 years old and has been the home to a lot of artifacts, including stone tools and bones. This is a quick, easy stroll that will take less than an hour.

53. Tenino Rock Quarry Pool (Tenino)

What was once a working sandstone quarry in the 1800s is now a perfect low cost summertime family destination. It has something for every level of swimmer, from a wading pool to a deeper fresh water area, diving boards, and even a waterfall. Spend a hot summer day cooling off at this unique and interesting pool.

54. Toppenish Murals (Toppenish)

The first mural was painted in 1989 when the first annual Mural in a Day event took place. Since then, 75 additional murals have popped up around Toppenish. On the first Saturday of every June, another Mural in a Day is held and each one adheres to strict guidelines to remain historically accurate for the time period between 1850-1950 and for the area. Spend a day walking around the town, bring your camera, and watch the paint dry.

55. Saint Edward State Park (Kenmore)

For 3,000 feet of freshwater shoreline, spend a day exploring Saint Edward State Park. It was once a Catholic seminary and still has the lush grounds and beautiful architecture. Take a walk along the shore line and keep your eyes peeled for bald eagles and otters.
