TACOMA, WA – Visit Tacoma-Pierce County has released a new three-day itinerary for travelers ready to trade screens for saddles and vintage horsepower. The Horsepower Heritage itinerary explores the evolution of transportation through hands-on experiences—from admiring classic cars to trail riding and llama trekking.
The journey moves through Spanaway, Roy, Eatonville, Ashford, and Puyallup, with stops that showcase both the mechanical marvels and the natural beauty of the region. Visitors will tour renowned auto collections, pedal rail bikes through the woods, and meet the animals that helped get us where we are today—some fluffy, some four-hooved, all unforgettable.
“This itinerary connects past and present in a way that’s engaging, educational, and sometimes a little unexpected,” said Matt Wakefield, Chief Marketing and Data Officer at Visit Tacoma-Pierce County. “It’s Pierce County’s unique take on horsepower, from Impalas to actual llamas.”
The Horsepower Heritage itinerary is packed with family-friendly activities: rideable trails, heritage railroads, hands-on farm visits, scenic drives, and up-close animal encounters. Whether you're in the driver’s seat of a classic car or holding the reins of a trail horse, it’s all about reconnecting with movement, craftsmanship, and the world around you.
The featured cities offer a blend of backroad quiet and cultural curiosity, from the foothills of Mount Rainier to small-town streets lined with charm. Lodging options range from cozy bunkhouses to comfortable, centrally located hotels—making the experience accessible to road trippers, history buffs, and multi-gen families alike.
