Vancouver WA provides the perfect blend of [outdoor adventure](https://www.visitvancouverwa.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/ "outdoor recreation"), [urban activities](https://www.visitvancouverwa.com/trip-planning/neighborhoods/downtown/ "Downtown Vancouver WA"), and [accessibility](https://www.visitvancouverwa.com/trip-planning/community-profile/accessible-travel-vancouver/ "Accessible Travel"). Conveniently located between the picturesque Cascade Mountains and the mighty Columbia River, Vancouver is a sports lover's playground.

Whether it’s indoor or outdoor sports, Vancouver WA has the advantage! Your athletes will compete with pride at our amazing natural [venues](https://www.visitvancouverwa.com/sports/venues/ "Sports Venues") and diverse sporting facilities. Vancouver offers boundless options for teams of all sports and sizes, which is why past events run the gauntlet from the NAIA Cross Country National Championships at [Fort Vancouver National Historic Site](https://www.visitvancouverwa.com/things-to-do/historic-sites-and-museums/fort-vancouver/ "Fort Vancouver") and the Lucas Oil National Motocross Series at [Washougal MX Park](https://www.visitvancouverwa.com/listing/washougal-motocross-park/2139/ "Washougal Motocross Park") to the US Rowing Northwest Junior District Championships at [Vancouver Lake](https://www.visitvancouverwa.com/vancouver-lake-park/ "Vancouver Lake").

We also work with local sports leagues to grow their programming, raise awareness for events, and assist with securing venues and hotel rooms. Some of our many sports partners include Columbia Premier, Ridgefield Raptors, HoopSource Basketball and the Vancouver Lake Rowing Club.

Visit Vancouver Washington

Along the trip, capture views of the Lewis River atop our hill-side vantage point, and then return to Moulton Station. At our station stop, enjoy warm cider cocoa and hot coffee. Santa has a gift for each child; bring your camera to capture this moment in time.

This year, we are hosting a Ugly Sweater Contest. Dress in your most atrocious holiday attire. We, as a community, will judge the winner. Please keep the content appropriate for all ages.

Please dress for the weather, grab a nice warm coat, rain slicker, or bring a blanket. We will be running the train as open as possible for safety, but in return we won't be heating some of the cars we usually do. If you are brave and like the briskness of the NW, we have lots of outside seating.
