Much like its southern neighbor, Oregon, Washington State gives its visitors a pleasing array of outdoor pursuits. From the peaceful scenery of Puget Sound, to the devastated landscape of Mount St. Helens, Washington is a land of extremes, and its natural attractions beckon visitors year-round.
The Cascade Mountains are home to several state and national parks that provide as much breathtaking scenery as they do diversity. Olympic National Park in northwest Washington boasts some of the most varied landscape in the entire world. On one hand, the Olympic Peninsula showcases alpine mountains, coastal wildlife havens, and temperate-zone rain forests, all of which can be found within miles of each other in this park. Walkers will not only delight in the park’s climatic diversity but also in its many prized wildflowers, found nowhere else in the world.

Are you taking your family on a camping trip? Looking for fun things to do while on your vacation? Here are a few ideas; some of these ideas are suitable for campgrounds, others for wilderness, some for both.

Play Hide And Seek

No place on earth makes a better hide and seek game than a good patch of woods. Try playing after dark using headlamps and/or flashlights. Place a fire or light at your campsite, and instruct all players to keep that in sight so they can easily return to camp. After you locate a hiding place, turn your flashlight off. Make sure the person who is it has a strong enough flashlight to locate the other players.

So you want to become more adventures or take the odd road trip more often but find yourself struggling to find space for the kids and your luggage in a compact city car? Well then you are like me. The thing about living in the city is that having a smaller car makes more sense when you have to try and find parking on a daily basis. But what about when you want to get away from the city stress  for a few days?  If it is just you and your partner you might not have much of a problem but when you have just that one extra person, storage can become a headache, and if you have a growing family- a growing headache! Luggage trailers are the solution to your  storage problems!
Luggage trailers are your transport solution for a out of city journeys,  giving you that added space and comfort when you are travelling in a group.  Trying to fit everything in the boot of your car just will not work, especially when you are going camping and need to lug along tents, beds and food just to mention a few of the essentials! Luggage trailers can be used for transporting all your luggage and your adventurers equipment, freeing up space in the car making the journey comfortable for all.
Although providing space is the main benefit of having a luggage trailer they also have other features. They are versatile and can be used to store many different things; from luggage, water, tents, to hiking and fishing equipment. With a luggage trailer you also have the peace of mind knowing that it protects your cargo and is dust and water proof making it perfect for when passing through rough terrain, gravel and water puddles.
They are available in different sizes and being made from aluminium are light weight and can be fitted  with racks for bicycles or canoes.
Another important factor to remember besides the storage factor is the safety factor. Many times when a car is overloaded with people, luggage and equipment, people tend to place objects likes bags and pillows at the back blocking the rear window.  It is very important that drivers have an unobstructed view of the road from all angles for the safety of all.
The next time you decide to go on an outdoor adventure, or just for a weekend away, make sure that you have a luggage trailer for the extra needed space. It is definitely  the transport solution for those who have  compact cars and yet want to lead an active lifestyle, or if you simply want to get away from the city once in awhile. Remember that they come in different sizes, are aluminium and lightweight, have a stylish shape, are lockable, dust and water-proof, allow you more visibility of the road and ensure for a relaxing, spacious drive. Luggage trailer have taken the stress out of my weekend family breaks. Since I have bought one, I have never looked back-only of course when waving goodbye to  the smog of the city.
