I just finished an awesome trip in my Cub. I started in Billings, Montana, and flew across Montana, part of Idaho and Oregon, and the entire state of Washington; basically the entire East-West coverage of Orbx's Northern Rockies and Pacific Northwest scenery packs.

Here's the route I took:

KBIL to KLVM - Pretty straight forward leg here, wide open prairie, Big Sky country :-)

From Hope, it's cool to fly up to Pemberton, nice landscapes, with valleys and lakes.
And if you download the "Scar Creek Outposts" scenery from Hovercontrol.com (there are several versions, one is made for PNW), then the area around Scar Creek will become very interesting to explore, with some very challenging mountain strips :)
