A:

The parks of the Pacific Northwest contain cloud-scraping peaks, long stretches of untamed coast, and quiet islands where you can easily escape from the crowds. My suggestions here may vary in setting from rocky coastlines to vast forests, but all are secluded and scenic enough to be the setting for a perfect romantic weekend.
