WILLAMETTE VALLEY

Tucked between the steep Cascade Mountains and the rolling Coast Range, the Willamette Valley stretches 112 miles/180 kilometers 101 5 south of Portland. For generations, the Kalapuya and other Indigenous peoples fished the Willamette River and foraged for berries along its banks, leaving traditions carried on today by the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. Since settlers started arriving 30 47 on the Oregon Trail in the 19th century, innovative Oregonians have 202 built historic covered bridges that continue to connect communities. They’ve put down roots in what’s become Oregon’s famous wine country and launched a farm-to-table dining revolution from its fertile soils. Come for a visit and share the culture, heritage and rich bounty of the region. 84
