The drive itself is part of the experience, offering breathtaking scenery with towering trees, lush forests, and beautiful Pacific Northwest landscapes along the way. When you arrive, be sure to stop for a photo at the popular sign that reads, "Welcome Twilight Fans, Treaty Line Ends Here." On the back of the sign, you'll find another fun message that says, "No Vampires Beyond This Point," a playful nod to the treaty between the werewolves and the Cullen vampires.
