What we’re about
Welcome to Adventures and Events! The purpose of this group to create an all activities group that helps connect one another to fun and memorable experiences. It is not based on any one type of activity but rather an assortment of things. Everyone that wants to go make new friends, dine, go rafting, explore, hike, sky dive, go kayaking, do urban walks, do bon fires, travel and experience all of life's great joys are welcome to join.
Claudette of Claudette Travels is our head resident travel agent and co-Organizer - you're welcome to contact her to arrange trips for you and the group!
We're also looking for volunteers to host events. Choose an activity that you would like to do and pick a day and time to do it, choose a place to meet and how people can find you when they get to the location.
Benefits to volunteers: You get to do the activities you want, when you want to do them with people that enjoy the same activities you do, who live/work near you and have the same work/play schedule that you have. You will meet and mingle with lots of people as everyone looks to the host to lead the group.

Death Valley Thanksgiving Week Trip
Location not specified yetDescription
Embark on an epic road trip from the vibrant city of Seattle to the awe-inspiring landscapes of Death Valley. This journey promises a perfect blend of adventure, natural beauty, and unforgettable experiences.
As you leave Seattle, you'll be greeted by the stunning views of the Pacific Northwest. The lush greenery and towering mountains set the stage for an incredible adventure. Your first stop could be the charming city of Portland, where you can explore its eclectic neighborhoods, indulge in delicious food, and soak in the vibrant culture.
Continuing south, you'll pass through the picturesque Willamette Valley, known for its beautiful vineyards and wineries. Take a moment to savor some of the finest wines in the region before heading towards the majestic Cascade Range. The scenic drive through these mountains offers breathtaking views and opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking and photography.
As you enter California, the landscape transforms into the rugged beauty of the Sierra Nevada. Consider stopping at Lake Tahoe, a pristine alpine lake surrounded by stunning mountains. Whether you choose to relax by the shore or engage in water sports, Lake Tahoe is a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy nature.
The journey then takes you through the historic Gold Country, where you can explore charming towns and learn about California's rich history. As you approach Death Valley, the scenery becomes more dramatic, with vast desert landscapes and unique geological formations.
Finally, you arrive at Death Valley National Park, a place of extremes and unparalleled beauty. Marvel at the otherworldly landscapes, from the salt flats of Badwater Basin to the colorful Artist's Palette. Explore the mysterious sand dunes, hike through canyons, and witness the breathtaking views from Dante's View.
This road trip from Seattle to Death Valley offers a diverse range of experiences, from lush forests and alpine lakes to rugged mountains and desert wonders.
