Alan Wake Road Trip

Actual locations that inspired places in game.

This is a work in progress, sites along the trip include (from South to North):

Crater Lake/Crater Lake Lodge

Covered Bridge at Trout Lake Farms

Westport/Cathlamet Ferry

Ilwaco Ocean Fresh Crab & Seafood

North Head Lighthouse

Twede's Diner

Twin Falls

Still sorting through fire lookouts for any that appear the most similar to any in the game:

Snoqualmie Log Pavilion

Snoqualmie Falls

Index and Skykomish are both small towns about the size of Bright Falls

Gorge Powerhouse

Diablo Dam

Diablo Overlook

Capilano Suspension Bridge

Things to add yet: Spinning bridge, Church, Ghost Towns, Mine, Abandoned Mill, Specific style cabins, large logging camps, Tree Age Ring. Probably other things, will need to play through the game again to identify. 

Hind sight, probably makes more sense to start in Canada and end at Crater Lake.

*8-23-26 update:  looks like Seafood place may have burned down in 2024: https://www.kgw.com/video/news/regional/southwest-washington/ilwaco-seafood-processing-facility-catches-fire-raw-video/283-aa185d76-b761-465a-80c2-2f68061e9ffc
