VISITOR GUIDE 2020-2021

IT’S NOT JUST A

MOUNTAIN.

IT’S A MEMORY. Spending time here is spending time together. A moment captured and shared, passed down through generations. Real connections with nature, with relaxation, and most importantly, with each other.

This is what happens in a place as special and unique as Central Oregon.

visitcentraloregon.com

Welcome At the time of print, our state and nation face unprecedented impacts from the COVID-19 outbreak. Events have been postponed, restaurants are offering takeout only, the medical community is working tirelessly and many of us are adjusting to the new norms of social distancing.

Right now, it’s our responsibility to slow the spread of this virus by all means possible. This gives us time to savor the small things: playing games with family, reading a good book or taking a soulcleansing hike. Through it all we keep our travel dreams alive.

We hope you are inspired to explore Oregon when it makes sense for you to do so, and we’ll be here when you’re ready.

In this guide, you’ll find a multitude of journeys to take — in every corner of the state, in total Oregon style. Out here you can feel rejuvenated along our backcountry peaks, towering forests and public coastline.

You can immerse yourself in the vibrant culture and history of our big cities and small towns. Explore the bliss of the high desert or speed down a mountain bike trail to thunderous waterfalls. How you discover Oregon is up to you.

Along the way, you’ll meet the people who make this state so special and need your support now more than ever — farmers and chefs, Native American tribes and rodeo cowboys, winemakers and craft brewers, fly-fishers and trail ambassadors.

Say hello to your fellow adventurers; there’s a lot to learn from each other.

Wherever your journey takes you, take care out there. Oregon is here for everyone to enjoy, for generations to come. We’re proud of where we live and hope you find a meaningful connection to this place too.

Curious

DETOURS You don’t have to look too hard to find Oregon’s more obvious wonders. Scenic Byways wind through fantasy-like landscapes, mighty waterfalls plunge into crystalline pools and, of course, craft breweries inhabit nearly every town with a stoplight (and even a few towns without). But there are hidden worlds you miss when you speed by oohing and aahing at the pace of a tick-it-off-the-bucket-list visitor. Here’s an idea: To tap into the inner magic of a place, try connecting with its story — each town or place has an almost-forgotten history, geographic mystery, and plenty of urban myths and legends. Get started with this explorer’s guide to some of the Pacific Northwest’s more unusual and awe-inspiring detours.

The lowest of low tides is when you’ll see it best: the remains of an ancient forest poking up out of the sandy beaches, each stump laden with barnacles and surrounded by pools of marine life. For hundreds of years, these fossilized trunks were buried and mostly invisible. Then storms battered the shores here in 1997 and ’98, sweeping away sand and revealing what’s commonly referred to as the Neskowin Ghost Forest, the petrified relics of around 100 Sitka spruce trees, which once stood as tall as 200 feet.

Scientists estimate that the rainforest these giants once called home was submerged around 2,000 years ago. What forces of nature could sink an ecosystem so vast? No one knows precisely. Some geologists point to a sudden and dramatic event such as an earthquake, while others suggest it was a slower process of dune encroachment. Today the ghost forest makes the Neskowin Beach State Recreation Site — situated on the North Oregon Coast in Neskowin, a wee village of weathered cottages — a popular destination for photographers, hikers and beachcombers. The eerie site stands as a testament to the epic forces that continue to shape these rugged, craggy shores.

CURIOUS DETOURS

VOLCANIC VIEWPOINTS PORTLAND

If you’re in the Portland region right now, there’s a chance you’re standing on a volcano.

But don’t jump just yet. Oregon’s biggest city and the surrounding communities rest on an ancient volcanic field, making this one of the only metro areas in the United States to contain multiple extinct volcanoes. The keyword here is extinct. The cinder cones and shield volcanoes within the Boring Lava Field — as it’s known among geologists — are unlikely to ever blow again. Still, they’re anything but, well, boring.

Many of these peaks are preserved as parks, where you can get outside for some easy urban hikes with sweeping views of the cityscape. The most well known is Mt. Tabor, a dormant volcanic vent and city park in Southeast Portland, where residents spread out blankets on sunny days and take in views of downtown’s skyline and the West Hills. (Mt. Tabor also hosts the wacky Portland Adult Soapbox Derby each August.)

Farther east at Gresham’s newest green space, Hogan Butte Nature Park affords hikers panoramic views of the Cascade Mountain Range, including a look at looming Mt. Hood.

Lesser-known trails with equally impressive views wind up Powell, Rocky and Kelly buttes; Mt. Sylvania; and Mt. Talbert.

Try this, too: On your way to the Oregon Zoo, pause as you exit at the underground Washington Park TriMet light-rail stop — the deepest subway station in the nation — to see an exhibit of geological time and a core-sample display featuring deposits from the surrounding lava field.

LEON WERDINGER

Where can you find medicine made from snakes and deer antlers, vials of poison, and a handwritten book for members of a secret society? These are a few of the rarities housed within the Kam Wah Chung State Heritage Site, more of a time capsule than a museum. When you step inside and see shelves still stacked with 19th-century supplies, you may get the sense that the old proprietors simply pulled the doors shut one day and kept this trove of relics of Oregon’s Chinese history locked up for decades.

And that’s essentially what happened. Kam Wah Chung is perhaps the best-preserved mercantile of its kind in the United States.

By 1880 several thousand Chinese Americans called the burgeoning town of John Day home, making it one of the largest Chinatowns in the entire country. In 1887 a young entrepreneur, Lung On, teamed up with herbalist Ing Hay to open this apothecary and market. Kam Wah Chung quickly became the epicenter of the Chinese community in Eastern Oregon and a multipurpose space for regional workers who faced racism and violent anti-Chinese demonstrations. A free guided tour of Kam Wah Chung (every day, May 1–Oct. 31) gives you a remarkable glimpse into these little-known chapters of Oregon’s cultural history.

CURIOUS DETOURS

Golden

GOLDEN JACKSONVILLE

An Irish miner hit the jackpot in 1859 while panning for gold on the East Fork of Althouse Creek in the Illinois Valley. He discovered a 17-pound nugget — the largest ever mined in the state — that earned him $3,500, which some estimate would be valued at as much as $350,000 today. That was the dream of the fabled Oregon Gold Rush, which kicked off a fervor in the 1850s as prospectors rolled in and essentially built little cities overnight, reshaping the landscapes of Southern Oregon in a matter of a few decades.

When the gold supply seemed to wane, miners up and left in large numbers, and many upstart communities quickly decayed into ghost towns. The best-preserved of such towns is the aptly named Golden, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Golden features several crumbling buildings including an endearing church. A few goldrush-era towns still thrive, though scant prospectors strut the streets. Jacksonville’s 19th-century heritage is preserved in a compact downtown that’s filled to the brim with frontier character. A few hobbyist gold miners do still try to strike it rich, though the main prize these days is the region’s award-winning vino, with tasting rooms dotting Jacksonville’s town center and wineries scattered throughout the wider area.

Try this, too: Southern Oregon’s wineries still feel lesser known and provide a sense of discovery. Try the Applegate Wine Trail, which comprises nearly two dozen familyowned wineries in the Applegate Valley. Think you’ve got a good grasp of Oregon wine?

Take the Oregon Wine Quiz on your Amazon Alexa device, and afterward you’ll be rewarded with an interesting story about Oregon wine — depending on how you score.

UFO ENCOUNTERS McMINNVILLE

CURIOUS DETOURS

In 1950 a couple of farmers who lived south of McMinnville snapped some of the most famous UFO photographs ever taken. As the story goes, Evelyn Trent had finished feeding her chickens and rabbits when she saw a metallic disc-like object hovering quietly in the evening sky. She ran back to the farmhouse to get her husband, Paul, who hurried outside in time to capture two images with a Kodak camera. The pictures were reprinted in newspapers and magazines around the world and started an international media frenzy.

While skeptics continue to debate the legitimacy of the Trent sighting, Oregon has remained big in the world of ufology, with incidents ranging from unexplained crop circles to encounters reported by pilots in the state’s airspace. These otherworldly mysteries take center stage at McMenamins’ three-day UFO Festival, which takes pride in being the second-largest event of its kind in the country. Drawing crowds for more than two decades to McMinnville, the festival typically includes a “landing party” with live music, a lineup of speakers (such as crop-circle experts) and a zany all-ages costume parade — of course, you don’t have to believe in UFOs to enjoy seeing puppies dressed up as extraterrestrial creatures.

KATHLEEN NYBERG / MCMENAMINS

Try this, too: The host of the annual festival, McMenamins Hotel Oregon, has another claim to fame — an out-of-this-world rooftop bar, ranked by Sunset magazine as one of the top 10 on the West Coast.

CURIOUS DETOURS

THE HOODOOS MADRAS HOODOOS

On the fringes of the Deschutes National Forest, where pavement gives way to gravel roads, several dozen rock pedestals rank among the region’s most unusual geological formations.

Standing guard above the Metolius River, these mysterious pillars look like some kind of Stonehenge-era structure, with larger boulders delicately balancing atop skinnier stone spires. We can thank Mother Nature for the artful display. The pillars are the hardened capstones of an ancient lava flow, transformed over some 20,000 years of erosion.

These curious formations go by equally funky nicknames: ghost rocks, balancing rocks and, most commonly, the Oregon Hoodoos, a moniker given in 1855 by a Pacific Railroad survey crew that stumbled upon the Hoodoos by chance. The landmark remained a littleknown marvel, shrouded by thick forests until a wildfire blazed through the area in 2003, revealing the Hoodoos to a new generation of Central Oregonians, who hike a short but out-of-the-way trail to see these one-of-a-kind natural monuments.

Try this, too: To reach the Hoodoos, you’ll drive through The Cove Palisades State Park, a recreational oasis and popular camping spot in the high desert where sheer cliffs surround Lake Billy Chinook.

BIGFOOT TERRITORY BORING

CASCADE LOCKS

Bigfoot might as well be the official mascot for the Pacific Northwest. Anywhere you go in Oregon, you’ll find Bigfoot bumper stickers, kitschy souvenirs in gift shops and life-size sculptures like the wood-carved Sasquatch statue at The Locks Waterfront Grill in Cascade Locks. If science tells us anything, you’re unlikely to actually run into the notorious cryptid, though that doesn’t stop Bigfoot researchers from heading out into the woods in search of some tangible proof that could substantiate the existence of this ape-like beast.

Feeling lucky? Many Bigfoot believers have a hunch your best chance of glimpsing these fast-walking bipeds is in the Mt. Hood National Forest. One noted hot spot is along Route 224, a part of the West Cascades Scenic Byway that has an esteemed nickname in Squatchin’ circles — “Oregon’s Bigfoot Highway” — for its allegedly high concentration of sightings each year. Not far from the bounds of the national forest, Cliff Barackman, known for his role in the Animal Planet series “Finding Bigfoot,” has recently opened the North American Bigfoot Center in Boring, which displays artifacts, footprint casts and other evidence he’s gathered over his years in the field.

Try this, too: If tiptoeing through a forest doesn’t sound like the most exciting way to hunt for Bigfoot, hop on the Columbia Gorge Bigfoot Adventure cruise, which speeds through the Gorge on a jet boat.

From ocean headlands to desert peaks, Oregon’s trails transport visitors to awe-inspiring landscapes. Take a multiday hike, a quick jaunt with the kids or a challenging trail run. It’s all underfoot in Oregon.

EPIC TREKS

WATERFALL WONDERS

America’s deepest gorge at nearly 8,000 feet/2,438 meters, Hells Canyon has trails diving down to the Snake River and an annual lung-crushing trail race. Local companies offer guided trips and expert tips. The rugged 382-mile/615-kilometer Oregon Coast Trail runs the length of the state along beaches, through forests and over headlands. Trails of various lengths leave from Mt. Hood’s Timberline Lodge, including the Paradise Park loop, and Pre’s Trail in Eugene draws runners looking to follow the footsteps of track legend Steve “Pre” Prefontaine. The 455 miles/732 kilometers of Oregon’s Pacific Crest Trail reveal gentle crests and alpine forest and lakes stretching from the Siskiyou Mountains to the Bridge of the Gods.

Tucked into lush forests, the Trail of Ten Falls in Silver Falls State Park reveals a cache of otherworldly beauty and 10 distinct cascades. Runners and hikers find Sahalie and Koosah falls cascading in pools along the gorgeous McKenzie River Trail.

A short, steep trail leads to the top of majestic, 620-foot/189meter Multnomah Falls. (Be sure to plan ahead and consider taking a shuttle if you’re visiting this popular icon.) The glorious, multitier White River Falls can be seen just a stone’s throw from the parking lot. Ten stunning waterfalls can be viewed along the North Umpqua Trail, including 102-foot/31-meter Lemolo Falls and double-drop Toketee Falls.

EASY SCENIC TRAILS

Routes on Steens Mountain reward hikers with dramatic views of the Alvord Desert, 9,738 feet/2,968 meters below. A short trail leads through the sagebrush into the fantastical horseshoeshaped volcanic tuff mesa of Fort Rock. Scores of trails climb up to the alpine lakes, peaks and wilderness area of the Wallowa Mountains — sometimes called Oregon’s Alps, soaring near 10,000 feet/3,048 meters. Local guide companies lead multiday hiking and pack-animal trips. Trails in Newberry National Volcanic Monument reveal spectacular lava flows, buttes and calderas, while Crater Lake National Park is home to the stunningly beautiful lake that’s the deepest in North America.

The easy 0.5-mile/0.8-kilometer Sunset Bay Beach Trail at Sunset Bay State Park leads to a picturesque sheltered cove great for beachcombing. Nearby Cape Arago and Shore Acres state parks have accessible routes with some of the Oregon Coast’s most stunning views. Near the town of McKenzie Bridge, hike an easy 1.5-mile/2.4-kilometer loop route through lava beds to see Proxy Falls — a 226-foot/69-meter segmented horsetail falls. In Eastern Oregon, Anthony Lakes Recreation Area offers moderate routes like the trails to Hoffer Lake and Black Lake (2.9 miles/4.6 kilometers and 2.4 miles/3.9 kilometers, respectively) with breathtaking wildflower meadows and views of the soaring Elkhorn Mountains.

OUTDOOR ADVENTURES

Wallowa Lake

WATER PLAY Bordered by the Pacific Ocean on the west and the Columbia River to the north — with alpine lakes perched up high, and Wild and Scenic Rivers flowing from the mountains — Oregon is a water lover’s playground. We have waves and waterways to suit thrill chasers and chill seekers alike.

STAND-UP PADDLEBOARDING Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) has something for every level of paddler. Try a placid paddle at Emigrant Lake near Ashland or on a quiet stretch of the Willamette River at Alton Baker Park in Eugene. Hold your pose with a SUP yoga class in The Dalles or, for a high-adrenaline experience, paddle through whitewater rapids on the Deschutes River with a guide company.

KAYAKING/CANOEING Oregon’s pretty alpine lakes and placid rivers offer great options for canoeing and flat-water kayaking. In Central Oregon’s Cascade Lakes region, picturesque Sparks Lake, Devils Lake, Elk Lake and Twin Lakes are popular with boaters looking for a peaceful paddle. The marina at Wallowa Lake rents rowboats, kayaks and canoes for touring the tranquil waters under the gaze of the Wallowa Mountains. Near Klamath Falls, the Upper Klamath Canoe Trail offers a scenic route through a 9.5-mile/15-kilometer freshwater marsh teeming with birdlife.

ALEX JORDAN

RAFTING Hit the whitewater and let someone else take the oars. Experienced guide companies take visitors on full- and half-day excursions down big rapids and tranquil waters alike in almost every region of Oregon. Book a boat on the Wild and Scenic North Umpqua River for an unforgettable trip through Southern Oregon’s remote river canyons. The Lower Deschutes River near Maupin offers family-friendly excursions and the chance to see the waterbirds and wildlife of the high desert up close. In Eastern Oregon, it’s

the Wild and Scenic Grande Ronde River that draws whitewater enthusiasts for remote multiday floats.

JET BOATS Oregon’s jet boats were made for high-adrenaline, high-speed fun. Visitors can race up the Rogue River from Gold Beach with Jerry’s Rogue Jets and from Grants Pass with Hellgate Jetboat Excursions. Jet-boat excursions offer stunning views of the river’s canyons and resident wildlife as well as the chance to learn about the area’s natural history. In Portland, Willamette Jetboat Excursions delivers thrills, splashes and a glimpse of the lovely Willamette Falls in Oregon City, the second largest waterfall by volume in the United States. In Hells Canyon, jet-boating companies explore the Snake River winding through North America’s deepest gorge.

KITEBOARDING AND WINDSURFING With near constant winds blowing along the Columbia River, Hood River is an internationally renowned kiteboarding and windsurfing destination. Windsport schools at the Hood River Event Site provide lessons with equipment rental. Near Langlois, little Floras Lake is a moderate proving ground for beginning kiteboarders and windsurfers before they graduate to the nearby surf. Sauvie Island is the spot closest to Portland to chase wind, and enthusiasts flock to the beaches up and down the Coast in search of big swells.

OUTDOOR ADVENTURES

BICYCLING Cyclists adore Oregon and Oregon loves them right back. Road cyclists feel the affection in the state’s official Scenic Bikeways program — the first of its kind in the nation — and famously bike-friendly cities and towns. Mountain bikers, fat-bikers and gravel riders embrace single-track trails, sandy beaches and forest back roads around the state.

For more about two-wheeled adventures in Oregon, visit TravelOregon.com/Bicycling.

ROAD CYCLING

MOUNTAIN BIKING

The Oregon Scenic Bikeways program includes 17 rides showcasing the most beautiful road-cycling routes in the state.

On the sunny eastern side, extreme riders take on the 108-mile/ 174-kilometer Blue Mountain Century Scenic Bikeway. The Coast’s more moderate 60-mile/97-kilometer Wild Rivers Coast Scenic Bikeway includes cranberry bogs, river vistas and ocean views. The 35-mile/56-kilometer Covered Bridges Scenic Bikeway, with a 17-mile/27-kilometer section closed to car traffic, and the 51-mile/82-kilometer Tualatin Valley Scenic Bikeway, featuring the car-free Banks-Vernonia Trail, are great options for beginners. Riders find 37 miles/60 kilometers of stunning highdesert views along the moderate Sisters to Smith Rock Scenic Bikeway. Nearby, the 30-mile/48-kilometer Madras Mountain Views Scenic Bikeway presents another sunny, moderate route.

The Cascade-Siskiyou Scenic Bikeway is for extreme riders only, but offers 55 miles/88 kilometers of steep and winding routes through the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument, which marks its 20th anniversary in 2020.

In Southern Oregon’s Rogue Valley, Mt. Ashland Super D is a classic for intermediate and expert riders that starts with a shuttle to the top of Mt. Ashland Ski Area and offers 5,400 vertical feet/165 meters of flowing, swooping terrain over 14 miles. If it’s mountain goats and high alpine lakes you’d like to see, the hair-raising Elkhorn Crest Trail and continuing Summit Lake Trail near Baker City are the highest-elevation trails in Eastern Oregon. Hundreds of miles of high-desert single-track in the Phil’s Trail network in Bend wind through ponderosa pines, with trails suited for riders of all ability levels. The 15-mile, fast and fun Alpine Trail is the classic ride that put Oakridge on the map. And the brand-new Timberline Bike Park at Mt. Hood offers six lift-assisted trails, the easiest of which is a family-friendly 4.5 miles /7.2 kilometers. Those looking for an epic quest can take on parts of the 669-mile/1,077-kilometer Oregon Timber Trail, a mostly single-track trek that winds northsouth through six national forests in the center of the state.

GRAVEL RIDES

FAT BIKING

Bumpy back roads, heart-pumping hill climbs and lung-busting byways are what gravel riders seek, and Oregon’s got all that and more. Near Yachats, the Oregon Coast Gravel Epic outlines 60and 38-mile/97- and 61-kilometer loops. The 21-mile/34-kilometer Cloud Cap out-and-back leads up a forest service road to the historic Cloud Cap Inn on Mt. Hood through a recovering forest.

The Grouse Knob/Dixie Pass Gravel Grind passes through Eastern Oregon’s small towns and pasturelands along remote and beautiful miles. Take it off the grid in the remote southeastern corner of the state, where the Skull 120 Gravel Grind in Burns each June is billed as the gnarliest gravel race in America. The Cycle Oregon Gravel ride takes tires to the roads less traveled with multiple route options over two days.

With chubby, grippy tires, fat bikes can take on sandy beaches, snowy track and loose-dirt trails for year-round riding. The beach at Lincoln City’s Roads End State Recreation Site on the Central Coast is a fast, flat shoreline cruise. Near Lakeside on the South Coast, the John Dellenback Dunes route gives riders the challenge of loose inclines on sandy banks and ridges. On the North Coast, the moderate Fort Stevens Fat Bike Route winds past the 19th-century Peter Iredale shipwreck on its way out to the jetty. In winter fat-bikers explore the snowy trails out of Wanoga Snow Play Area Sno-Park in the Deschutes National Forest. Many bike shops have rentals, lessons and guided trips.

FISHING

Harbor seals

Oregon’s rivers, lakes and coastline draw avid fisherfolk year-round. Coast guide companies offer charters to fish for ocean-dwelling rockfish, lingcod, halibut and albacore tuna. Visitors can try for Dungeness crab in the first certified-sustainable crab fishery in the world and dig along the Coast for razor clams. Inland lakes stocked with trout offer a great introduction to fishing for kids, and experts cast for elusive steelhead from drift boats and banks on the North Umpqua, Deschutes and John Day rivers.

The mighty Columbia River is the place to find returning chinook and coho salmon as well as deep-swimming sturgeon.

Visit MyODFW.com/Fishing for more information about licenses, where to fish and what’s in season.

Santiam River

Oregon’s wild places are full of untamed creatures, and visitors have many options for observing their natural habits. Magnificent gray whales — measuring as long as 49 feet/15 meters — make a twice-annual appearance along the Oregon Coast during spring and winter migrations. And a few resident whales hang around the Coast yearround. Nearly 20,000 gray whales swim northward from the calving grounds in Mexico to the Bering Strait in spring and can be viewed from 24 official whale-watching points. The Coast is also the place to spot raucous sea lions and sleek seals on the rocky promontories and bays. The skies fill with birdlife in spring and fall, when more than 500 bird species migrate along the Pacific Flyway at notable birding sites like the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge and the Summer Lake Wildlife Area, as well as along the Coast and throughout the Willamette Valley. Once a rarity, bald eagles can now be seen year-round fishing along the banks of Oregon rivers and in winter at locations like Lake Billy Chinook and The Dalles. In winter Roosevelt elk come down from higher elevations in the Blue and Wallowa mountains to feed in the lower foothills and meadows. The largest remaining species of North American elk can also be seen year-round at Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area near Reedsport. Lucky lookers can catch a glimpse of the free-running herd of mustangs in the Kiger Gorge near Diamond. If you’re lucky enough to spot wildlife, use your zoom lens and observe from afar.

OREGON FOOD 101

Oregonians are unapologetically passionate about food and drink. It’s no wonder, considering the amazing natural ingredients at our disposal — from our fresh-caught salmon and wild-foraged mushrooms to hand-harvested sea salt and farm-fresh seasonal produce. Did we mention our famous hazelnuts, artisan cheeses, estategrown wines, seasonal craft brews and ciders, and growing spirits scene?

No surprise, then, that Oregon continues to draw attention for its culinary mastery, with its chefs regularly earning nominations and top bragging rights for the coveted James Beard Awards and other accolades.

Visitors can experience this passion and year-round bounty at farmers markets, U-picks, seafood counters, cooking schools and tasting rooms across the state by following one of the many self-guided Oregon Food Trails — a hungry roadtripper’s best friend.

You could, if you wanted, attend a different culinary festival in Oregon each month of the year. Winter brings the Mt. Angel Hazelnut Festival in December; the Oregon Truffle Festival in the Willamette Valley in January and February; and Hood River Foodie February.

Spring kicks off with the Savor Cannon Beach Wine and Culinary Festival in March and the Charleston Oyster Feed in April. Summer is all about Silverton’s 70th annual Strawberry Festival in June, and Coos Bay’s Blackberry Arts Festival and the Bend Brewfest in August. And fall brings the world-class Feast Portland in September, the Yachats Mushroom Fest in October and the Ashland Culinary Festival in November.

However you decide to experience Oregon’s culinary scene, you’re sure to form your own passionate opinions about it, and in doing so, you’ll fit right in.

EAT AND DRINK Solera Brewery

BEER EXPERIENCE Oregon’s craft-beer scene has always been about quality, innovation and passion, and anyone who’s visited a craft brewpub in Oregon can feel the inspiration behind each brew. From double-hopped IPAs to barrel-aged porters, envelope-pushing sours and thirstquenching summer ales, Oregon’s beers are not just highly drinkable — they go on to win loads of national awards each year. But we don’t need to know the stats to know good beer. Here are some of the ways to experience Oregon’s craft beers all year round.

TASTING TRAILS

HOPPED UP

A number of official ale trails makes it easy to navigate your way through the state’s top craft breweries. The Eugene Ale Trail takes visitors to 23 regional tasting rooms with a passport program and various prizes. The Bend Ale Trail includes a tour of 23 highdesert breweries and its own special reward for designated drivers.

The Salem Ale Trail hits 11 stops for great beer and cider.

Oregon’s North Coast Craft Beer Trail includes 13 breweries between Astoria and Pacific City, while the Mt. Hood Territory Tap Trail introduces visitors to 16 distinct cider, spirit and beer crafters. Don’t miss the Breweries in the Gorge trail, which hits 12 hoppy stops. Find at least a dozen more pubs to raise a glass to along the Eastern Oregon Brews Byway, and 14 more craftbrew standouts in Medford, Grants Pass and Ashland along the Southern Oregon Ale Trail.

For those who like it extra hoppy, September brings a host of seasonal fresh-hops flavor with fresh-hops festivals in Portland, St. Paul, Sisters, Independence and a special showing at the Hood River Hops Fest. Taste craft beers brewed with justharvested hops and learn the secrets of fresh-hop brewing.

JONI KABANA

BREW FESTS Oregon’s diverse craft-beer celebrations curate the best local brews.

The granddaddy of them all is the 33rd annual Oregon Brewers Festival in downtown Portland in July, one of the longestrunning beer festivals in the country. During the first week of June, Eugene Beer Week brings tastings, special releases and beer dinners to town. Family-friendly Hood River Hops Fest gathers more than 40 breweries in Hood River in September, just in time for hops harvest. And Portland’s Holiday Ale Festival in December brings festive winter cheer. During Oregon Craft Beer Month in February, fans flock to the Festival of Dark Arts in Astoria for 70 rare and unique stouts, while craft brewers across the state open their doors for free tours, tastings and more as part of Zwickelmania.

TRIAL BY FLAVOR Many Oregon breweries enjoy experimenting with wild-yeast beers, including the Ale Apothecary and Crux Fermentation Project in Bend, Wolves & People in Newberg, and de Garde Brewing in Tillamook. Others appreciate the quirky outcomes of brewing with fresh fruits and vegetables, including Dream State from Portland’s Little Beast, made with 100 pounds of fresh, whole Oregon strawberries per barrel, aged for six months in a cabernet sauvignon barrel and allowed to wild ferment. Newport’s quirky Rogue Brewery has been brewing its Beard Beer since 1978, made with wild yeast created from their brewmaster John Maier’s beard (a technique that’s been used for centuries).

BEER TOURS Thirsty yet? One of the best ways to experience the state’s brew culture is through a guided tour, available in most regions. In the Portland area, a variety of tour operators lets you experience the scene on foot, by bicycle or by shuttle bus, with stops at a few pubs over a few hours. Many include food and a brewery tour and are customizable for your party. Similar tours are also offered in Bend and smaller towns like McMinnville.

There’s plenty of fresh catch to enjoy at Pacific Restaurant in Tillamook and Salmonberry Saloon, which offers dockside views of Wheeler Bay.

CIDER SCENE GREAT UMPQUA FOOD TRAIL Starting in Roseburg, this tasty trail highlights dozens of distinct purveyors creating flavors as arresting as the bold beauty of this wild river land. Taste the region’s signature big reds and bold whites at boutique wineries like Delfino and Season Cellars. You’ll find field-fresh produce, jams, jellies and more at stops like Umpqua Valley Farmers Market and Kruse Farms, and sample the U-pick berries at Brosi’s Sugartree Farms.

Sit down to an elegant farm-to-table dinner experience at Parrot House Restaurant, which occupies an 1891 Victorian home.

EAST GORGE FOOD TRAIL Perched along the basalt cliffs of the eastern Gorge, local farmers, orchardists, cider makers and vintners produce tastes as dramatic as the landscape. Find U-pick cherries at Rosedale Fruit Farm in Mosier and a host of seasonal bounty at weekly farmers markets in Mosier and The Dalles. These sunny slopes are home to tasting rooms of Analemma Wines, Idiot’s Grace and Tierra de Lobos Winery with grapes from the Mosier Valley. Enjoy lunch on the patio at Mosier Company or dine with history at the Baldwin Saloon.

MELANIE GRIFFIN / EUGENE, CASCADES & COAST

SOUTH AND MID-WILLAMETTE VALLEY FOOD TRAILS This trail is an exploration of world-class wine, family-friendly farms and river-fed communities. Pack your picnic basket at Provisions Market Hall or Creswell Bakery for a day of tasting at Bennett Vineyards and Brigadoon Wine Company, among others. Lane County Farmers Market offers valley-fresh produce; or pick your own fruit at Hentze Family Farm, Bush's Fern View Farms and more. Enjoy craft concoctions at Marché restaurant, Grit Kitchen, Party Bar and beyond. More flavors await on the Mid-Willamette Valley Food Trail, featuring historic farms and trailblazing spirits.

Just as with Oregon’s world-class wine and craft-beer scenes, the cider revolution is based on the bounty of the fruit of the land — and the talented makers who forge their deliciousness. This pioneering craftbeverage endeavor is rooted in the heirloom apple and pear orchards first planted by 19th-century farmers. From the Columbia River Gorge to Southern Oregon and the Willamette Valley, Oregon has seen about two dozen cideries pop up in recent years, bringing the total number to nearly 90.

While most cideries are open year-round for tasting, fall is considered cider season because it’s harvest time — when fruit is at its peak. It’s worth a trip to an orchardbased tasting room such as Runcible Cider on the East Gorge Food Trail, to sip precisely where the apples are grown.

Save the date for the 8th annual Hood River Hard-Pressed Cider Fest in April and Oregon Cider Week in June, which showcases chefs and cider makers with tastings, workshops, special menus and other events.

Note: Many food trail businesses are highly seasonal, so call ahead before visiting.

Oregon’s got a reputation for spirited independence and attention to detail. Both have forged the state’s small-batch spirits revolution, nearly two decades old and stronger than ever. The Beaver State’s distilleries are turning out whiskey, vodka, gin and more in a signature style, with nearly 60 distilleries and tasting rooms around the state.

Many independent-minded makers offer their own unique twists, from Marble Caves Distillery’s hand-blended rum and brandy to Stillweather Spirits’ multilayered botanical gins. Some producers honor Old World traditions with an Oregon twist, like Elixir Craft Spirits’ fernet and other classic liqueurs made with water from the springfed McKenzie River. Ewing Young Distillery invites guests to tour their farm, which includes a 170-year-old heritage oak tree. Oregon Grain Growers Brand Distillery produces their signature spirits with Umatilla County grains and locally sourced ingredients in Pendleton. Portland’s women-led distillery, Freeland Spirits, offers tours of its production space behind its hip tasting room in the Northwest industrial district.

Along Portland’s east side, you’ll find Distillery Row’s 13 visitor-friendly tasting rooms, where you can sip to your heart’s content and often take a tour, too. Check out the Distillery Row Passport as well as the Cocktail Crawl on third Saturdays. For more inspiration, find a map of Oregon Distillery Trail sites at OregonDistilleryTrail.com.

Mark your calendar for Toast, North America’s largest public craft-spirits tasting, held in Portland each spring. And raise a glass at Portland Cocktail Week in October.

BEAN AND LEAF Oregonians are serious about coffee. You can tell by the sheer number of cafes and by the fact that local life revolves around the roasted bean. Whether your morning starts in sunny Eastern Oregon, in a foggy coastal town or smack in the middle of Portland’s bustling commute, you’ll find a robust local cafe in the heart of things.

We think a great cup of coffee is worth the fuss, which is why we’ve nurtured awardwinning artisan roasters like Slightly Coffee Roasters in Eugene, Heart Roasters in Portland, Seaside Coffee Roasters and Kainos Coffee Roasters in The Dalles.

Oregon also has a passion for specialty teas, reflected by the likes of Steven Smith Teamaker, The Tao of Tea and Townshend’s Tea Company, which each have multiple locations and endless varieties to choose from.

You can’t have tea without a cozy space for sipping; Eugene’s Oolong Bar and the glass-walled Tea Garden at the Portland Japanese Garden are favorite tranquil spots for tea lovers.

North Fork 53 in Nehalem offers springtime tours of their tea farm, where they grow a variety of herbs, flowers, trees and fruit for their coastal blends. Velvet Monkey Tea in McMinnville offers more than 100 varieties of black, white, green, oolong and herbal teas, and the organic farm of Minto Island Tea Company in Salem is Oregon’s first commercial tea grower.

EAT AND DRINK L’Angolo Estate

DISCOVER WINE COUNTRY The state’s wine industry has come a long way since its humble beginnings, when a few rogue dreamers planted vines in the Willamette Valley. The state’s wine scene has blossomed to more than 760 wineries and 19 distinct growing areas (also known as American Viticultural Areas, or AVAs) and is the third largest wine-grape-producing state in the nation. Our talented vintners regularly earn international and national accolades. And yet that early spirit of modesty remains. Oregon wineries, often familyowned, focus on small-batch, high-quality production. Visit a tasting room and you’re likely to see the owner pouring wine or moving barrels. One thing is certain: Wherever you go in Oregon wine country, you’re sure to get a warm welcome.

WILLAMETTE VALLEY The Willamette Valley AVA is nestled between the Coast and Cascade mountain ranges and stretches for more than 150 miles/241 kilometers from the Columbia River to the town of Cottage Grove. Most famous for world-class pinot noir, the valley is home to nearly 600 wineries and also creates stellar pinot gris, chardonnay and other cool-climate wines. The fertile region has nurtured seven distinct sub-AVAs in a patchwork of distinct growing areas: Chehalem Mountains, Dundee Hills, Eola-Amity Hills, McMinnville, Ribbon Ridge, Van Duzer Corridor and Yamhill-Carlton.

Take a tasting trip through the valley to experience the world-class varietals made here.

SOUTHERN OREGON Nurtured among the rugged mountains, the wild rivers and the sunny climes, Southern Oregon wines are as adventurous as the landscape. This surprisingly warm corner of the state nurtures hot-blooded wine: tempranillo, cabernet franc and albariño, along with Oregon’s signature pinot noir. Vigorous microclimates create five separate AVAs — Rogue Valley, Umpqua Valley, Elkton, Illinois Valley and Applegate Valley — with more than 150 wineries. Take a little exploration of your own along the Upper Rogue, Applegate, Bear Creek or Jacksonville wine trails — each with their own unique offerings, with fewer crowds, idyllic vineyard views and a laid-back welcome. Jacksonville’s Oregon Wine Experience in August, is also a major celebration of the region’s worldclass wines, with workshops, lectures, tastings and more.

Oregon’s got a crush on chocolate. The love affair takes many forms, from handcrafted jewel-like confections and decadent drinking chocolate to artisan ice cream and bean-to-bar artistry. Within the delectable craft-chocolate scene, you’ll find truly Oregonian combinations, like Branson’s Chocolates’ craft-beer truffles featuring Caldera Brewing Company porter, and Moonstruck Chocolates’ latest assortment of cork-shaped truffles that are made with four premier Oregon wine varietals, paired for the perfect flavor.

Arrowhead Chocolates, with its newly expanded shop in Joseph, has received sweet accolades from the national Good Food Awards, along with others like Creo Chocolate, Alma Chocolate, The Chocolate Maker’s Studio and Batch PDX.

COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE & MT. HOOD Just an hour to the east of Portland, the stunning Columbia River Gorge and Mt. Hood region presents a world of wine all its own. On this verdant, 40-mile/64-kilometer swath of land, winemakers create more than 30 varietals at dozens of wineries. Between the soaring walls of the Gorge, the snowcapped peak of Mt. Hood and the eastern desert foothills, a daring outdoor lifestyle seems to infuse the wines themselves — bold barberas, spicy sangioveses and crisp gruner veltliners. From rustic outbuildings to Tuscan patios and Northwestern lodges, each tasting room invites you to drink in the natural landscape.

EASTERN OREGON The sunny, rolling farmlands cradle one of the best-kept secrets of Oregon wine country: the southernmost slice of the Walla Walla Valley AVA. The Oregon wineries in the region are small in number and big on character. Milton-Freewater is home to eight tasting rooms in the Rocks District AVA, and Copper Belt Winery’s tasting room in Baker City is part of the Snake River AVA. The wines of the area illuminate the persistence and work ethic of these longtime farming communities. Try a glass of hearty cabernet sauvignon and you’ll see.

URBAN WINERIES AND BEYOND THE AVAS Some of our richest tasting experiences spill over official borders and resist categorization.

In downtown Portland, urban tasting rooms abound, including the Southeast Wine Collective, a cooperative production facility of 10 working wineries as well as an on-site wine bar and restaurant. Coopers Hall Winery and Taproom offers 44 taps of wine, beer and cider, with one of the largest selections of wine on tap in the Pacific Northwest. In sunny Central Oregon, several tasting rooms cluster around downtown Bend, and to the north, Maragas Winery has staked its claim on zinfandel, cab franc, marechal foch and others.

Portland’5 Centers for the Arts — which includes the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, the Keller Auditorium, the Winningstad Theatre, the Newmark Theatre and the Brunish Theatre — offer a dynamic lineup of entertainment from Broadway hits to Portland Literary Arts, which features award-winning authors. Portland Center Stage at the Armory presents the cutting-edge work of classic and contemporary playwrights at the city’s largest theater company.

The Biamp PDX Jazz Festival bebops through Portland in February with vocal and instrumental artists from around the country. The masterpieces of Bach dominate in June and July, when international artists and classical musicians converge at the Oregon Bach Festival in Eugene.

The delight of classical also pervades Coos Bay’s annual Oregon Coast Music Festival in July. Portland feels the funk in July with the four-day Waterfront Blues Festival — a family-friendly event that has raised millions for the Oregon Food Bank. You never know what you’ll find at the Oregon Country Fair in Veneta in July, where vaudeville performances are just one part of the quirky and unconventional arts festival. Things heat up in Pendleton when the Pendleton Whisky Music Fest spotlights some of the biggest names on the national country and hip-hop scenes. Bluegrass and indie folk take the stage at the three-day Pickathon in Happy Valley in August.

Big outdoor stages like McMenamins Edgefield in Troutdale, the Les Schwab Amphitheater in Bend, the Cuthbert Amphitheater in Eugene and the Britt Pavilion in Jacksonville welcome national and international stars from funk and folk to indie pop and classic rock.

CULTURE AND HERITAGE

Tamástslikt Cultural Institute

For thousands of years before Lewis and Clark’s 19th-century journey through the West, Oregon was Native American land. Local tribes fished wild rivers and great waterfalls, like the now submerged Celilo Falls on the mighty Columbia River. They scored petroglyphs in rock canyons like Picture Rock Pass and left behind the world’s oldest pair of footwear at Fort Rock.

Proud ancestors of those first people make up nine federally recognized tribes of Oregon: the Burns Paiute Tribe; the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians; the Coquille Indian Tribe; the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians; the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde; the Klamath Tribes; the Confederated Tribes of Siletz; the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation; and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs.

Several of these tribes share their cultural histories and traditions at museums and cultural centers around the state.

Recent special exhibits have featured nationally acclaimed photography and collections of artifacts that illuminate their cultural narrative.

In September the center hosts an annual Kidz Pow Wow, open to all children age 12 and younger, tribal and nontribal members alike.

The Nez Perce Wallowa Homeland Visitor Center in the town of Wallowa welcomes visitors to the resource center and gallery. On the 320-acre/129-hectare homeland, interpretive markers along a trail lead past the traditional longhouse and dance arbor to a stunning overlook of the confluence of the Lostine and Wallowa rivers and sweeping views of ancestral lands. The center is part of the multistate Nez Perce National Historical Park.

Located along curves of the Deschutes

River, The Museum at Warm Springs shares the collective memory and history of the tribe through its collection of crafts and artifacts, as well as special events such as a recent display of traditional and contemporary tribal art, including bead work, painting, weaving and ceramics.

In the Willamette Valley, permanent exhibits at the Chachalu Museum and Cultural Center highlight the history of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde.

Native American artifacts are among the collections of non-Native museums around the state. The Portland Art Museum offers regular docent-led tours of its Native American art section. The Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum in The Dalles, which has a Native American exhibit, also hosts the annual Columbia River Indian Autumn Gathering in November. The Favell Museum in Klamath Falls, the Four Rivers Cultural Center in Ontario and the High Desert Museum in Bend also have significant Native American art and artifacts in their collections.

NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURE

With its wide-open spaces, wild rivers and fertile farmland, the promise of Oregon drew people from all over looking for adventure, for work and for a place to call home.

By the mid-19th century, Oregon’s secret was out and nearly half a million people embarked on the 2,170-mile/ 3,492-kilometer Oregon Trail. Tales of the difficult immigrant journey and the devastation of Native American tribes are told at the National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center in Baker City. In the summertime, you can walk in the remnants of the famous wagon road at the Oregon Trail Interpretive Park near La Grande. Exhibits at End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center in Oregon City educate visitors with true stories of trail pioneers, musical demonstrations of trail-era instruments, and pioneer games and crafts for kids.

Some of Oregon’s immigrant stories are lesser known. A surprisingly international chapter of Oregon history comes to life at the Four Rivers Cultural Center

PIONEERING SPIRIT in Ontario, where visitors learn about the intersecting cultures of Japanese, Basque, Hispanic, North Paiute and European immigrants. The Maxville Heritage Interpretive Center in the town of Joseph tells another forgotten tale of the African Americans who migrated from the South in the 1920s to work in a now vanished lumber town.

Oregon’s most famous visitors, Lewis and Clark, are remembered at Astoria’s Fort Clatsop, where they overwintered with their encampment in 1805-06. The adjacent Lewis and Clark National Historical Park has a replica of the fort and historical demonstrations on daily tasks used by early explorers to survive — from muzzle loading to candle making.

As part of the multisite Confluence Project, which aims to honor the Native people and the natural world Lewis and Clark traveled through, the bird-blind installation by artist Maya Lin near Troutdale chronicles the bird species, wildlife and plants noted in the travelers’ journals.

Roping, riding, wrangling and steer wrestling — Oregon’s summertime rodeos offer the best in cowboy competition, while seasonal powwows keep traditional Native American songs and dances alive.

Oregon’s biggest rodeo and one of the 10 largest in the world, the Pendleton Round-Up is a weeklong party with everything from professional bull riding to a kids’ rodeo and a giant barbecue feast. As part of the historic annual Pendleton Round-Up, the colorful Happy Canyon Indian Pageant and Wild West Show portrays tribal culture before and after pioneer times, and at Teepee Village, hundreds of tribal families participate in dance competitions and sell Native American crafts.

Cowboys ride the wild broncs and wrestle steers at the Wild Rogue Pro Rodeo in Central Point, and the Klamath Falls Great Northwest Pro Rodeo has kept the excitement going in Southern Oregon for 26 years. Team roping, bronc riding and barrel racing are among the high-adrenaline competitions at the Sisters Rodeo in Sisters, with one of the biggest purses in the country. One of the nation’s top rodeos with more than 1,000 competitors, the St. Paul Rodeo prides itself on offering cowboys and cowgirls some of the toughest competition around.

For more than 100 years, the Molalla Buckeroo PRCA Rodeo has offered a full roster of fast-paced rodeoing as well as nightly fireworks and live music. Chief Joseph Days Rodeo kicks off with a thunderous wild-horse stampede, and the fun carries on with trick riding, parades and miniature bull riding for smaller cowpokes. On Labor Day Weekend, the Lake County Round-Up celebrates its 101st anniversary.

Oregon’s Native American tribes share their heritage with seasonal powwows and festivities. The Coquille Indian Tribe Mill-Luck Salmon Celebration in North Bend in September includes dances in splendid regalia, a traditional salmon feast and canoe races. The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde annual Veterans Powwow in July honors tribal members who have served in the U.S. military. Celebrating 51 years, the Pi-Ume-Sha Treaty Days in Warm Springs in June commemorate the tribe’s 1855 treaty with the U.S. government and feature old-style dance competitions, a traditional dress parade and an endurance horse race. The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians share their heritage at the annual Nesika Illahee Pow-Wow held in August.

There’s something unique about the Oregon Coast. It’s not just Highway 101 — that impossibly scenic route known officially as the Pacific Coast Scenic Byway winding its way for 363 miles/584 kilometers from Astoria to Brookings. The truly singular characteristic of the coastline is that it’s free and open to the public, thanks to the historic Oregon Beach Bill.

When then Governor Tom McCall signed the bill into law in 1967, he declared, “Oregon’s coastline will remain secure for generations to come.” That means that the Coast’s beautiful state parks, elegant lighthouses, rolling sand dunes and dramatic viewpoints are here just for you, and yours, and everyone else.

Indeed, that’s why they call it “The People’s Coast.”

TRIP IDEAS Summer beachcombing and winter storm watching. Classic road trips and hidden getaways. Food trails, art trails and miles of hiking trails. There are so many ways to explore the rich offerings of the Coast. These trip ideas will get you started.

Grand 101 Adventure Stretching from Astoria in the north to Brookings in the south, Highway 101 winds for 363 miles/584 kilometers of stunning ocean views, soaring cliff lines and charming coastal towns. Just driving the Pacific Coast Scenic Byway is a thrill, but it’s important to slow down and enjoy the dozens of communities, scenic pullouts and state parks along the way. We recommend at least four days to explore the region.

You’ll get to know the North Coast’s wildlife areas and crabbing spots; the Central Coast’s scenic beaches; and the teeming tide pools, rugged sea stacks and hidden coves of the South Coast. More than 80 state parks are tucked in along Highway 101, with standouts like Fort Stevens State Park, Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park and Shore Acres State Park. Don’t miss the scenic viewpoints at Cape Meares Lighthouse, Devils Punchbowl State Natural Area and Face Rock State Scenic Viewpoint.

OREGON COAST

Paragliding above Cape Lookout

Central Coast Getaway The Central Coast is the heart of the best things Oregon’s coastal communities have to offer. Lincoln City’s windy beaches have their own magic with colorful kites swooping overhead and glass floats hidden in the sand year-round. Beautiful Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge harbors red-tailed hawks, majestic egrets and great blue herons. Book a trip in Depoe Bay to visit the resident gray whales and seasonal migrators. At Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area, visitors can tour the 1873 lighthouse and explore the beach below, where tide pools brim with life and sea lions lounge in the sun. In Newport, browse boutiques at Nye Beach, view lounging sea lions on the bayfront and explore underwater wonders at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. Visitors love checking out the gallery scene in Old Town Florence and wandering tranquil miles of the Oregon Dunes. Paddle the Siltcoos River Canoe Trail to traverse three distinct ecological zones from an inland lake to the sea.

Some of the North Coast’s best-kept secrets are hidden in plain sight. At Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, visitors can learn about the rich natural world of the Columbia River Estuary. Hike the 1.5-mile/2.4-kilometer Lewis and Clark River Trail to experience the diverse ecosystem of plants, animals and birds. History buffs delight in the remnant of a WWII bunker tucked into the jagged cliffs above Tillamook Head. South of Cannon Beach’s iconic Haystack Rock, beachcombers will find a hidden seasonal waterfall cascading onto the beach at Hug Point. Walk the untraveled 4-mile/6-kilometer strip of the Bayocean Spit for views of the ocean, Tillamook Bay and paragliders soaring aloft. The North Coast Food Trail, between Seaside and Neskowin, is an epicurean haven with offerings like wild-yeast beers at local breweries, freshly harvested oysters at seafood markets and signature cheddar cheeses at the newly remodeled and iconic Tillamook Creamery.

The rugged South Coast provides access to undiscovered country. Lighthouse lovers delight in the five charming beacons located along this stretch of Highway 101 — Umpqua River, Cape Arago, Coquille River, Cape Blanco and Pelican Bay lighthouses — each illuminating scenic miles. At Face Rock State Scenic Viewpoint, see the artist-created “Circles in the Sand” labyrinth at low tide during scheduled times throughout the year. A trail system connecting Sunset Bay, Shore Acres and Cape Arago state parks delivers stunning views. Gastronomes linger in Old Town Bandon at Coastal Mist chocolatier, Face Rock Creamery and Alloro Wine Bar & Restaurant.

In Gold Beach, the majestic Rogue River meets the ocean, and quiet beaches welcome beachcombing, bird-watching and crabbing. Book a fishing charter in Brookings to cast for king salmon, lingcod and rockfish, or hike the Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor to view wind-sculpted arches and sea stacks.

Winter Wonders While most people think of the Oregon Coast as a summer destination, a winter trip always delivers unexpected treasures.

Visitors often find the Coast’s winter temperatures warmer than inland climes.

Some come for the storm watching from one of the many safe, dedicated viewpoints found along the Coast, and stay for beachcombing and fort building in the sunbreaks that follow. Winter festivals provide a host of seasonal celebrations, from the Yachats Agate Festival and Astoria’s FisherPoets Gathering to food-and-drink festivals like the Newport Seafood & Wine Festival and Astoria’s Festival of Dark Arts. Winter provides rich opportunities for wildlife watching, including 24 designated whale-watching viewpoints to look for migrating gray whales in winter waters. The Oregon Coast Birding Trail has 173 specific spots to view migratory and overwintering birds. Winter is a great season to try your hand at clamming, crabbing and fishing from the dock at towns up and down the Coast.

Oregon Coast Arts With its dramatic natural landscapes and rich cultural histories, the Oregon Coast has long been a draw for artists, creators and dreamers of all stripes. Public art in communities up and down the Coast make that creativity accessible to all. Public artworks that communicate the region’s spirit of creativity include Florence’s sea lions sculpture and the cheerful whale sculpture in Cannon Beach, as well as the “Centennial Celebration Mural” in Toledo and mosaic tile bench in Port Orford.

Bandon-based nonprofit Washed Ashore builds fabulous sea-themed installations from plastic debris fished out of the ocean. Look for murals, sculptures and other colorful innovations along the Oregon Coast Public Art Trail, and snap a photo at the designated selfie spots at the “Oregon Is Magic” murals in Yachats and Gold Beach.

Farm Stays and Food Trails The farmers, fishers and foragers of the Coast are leading a new culinary revolution on Oregon’s western rim, and food trails and farm stays offer a taste of this rising scene. The North Coast Food Trail leads epicureans to distilleries, breweries, cooking schools and sea-to-table dining establishments from Seaside to Neskowin.

The Wild Rivers Coast Food Trail winds from Reedsport to Bandon, Port Orford and Brookings. Delicious stops include farms for strawberries, blueberries and cranberries in season, as well as fresh catch from fish markets and some of the state’s newest craft breweries. Steep yourself in sustainable agriculture at the North Fork 53 Coastal Retreat & Tea Gardens in Nehalem, a 3-acre/1-hectare farm growing organic vegetables, herbs and the region’s first tea garden. Mt. Emily Ranch Bed & Breakfast in Brookings welcomes visitors to enjoy wildlife viewing and bird-watching in a peaceful setting.

If we had to pick one word to capture the spirit of the Portland Region, it would be “inspired.” There’s an infectious enthusiasm pumping through the heart of the region that demands people do what they love and do it well. You can see it in the nationally acclaimed culinary world, in the spirited makers’, enclaves, and in the thriving arts and culture scene. The breathtaking outdoor scenery that surrounds it in farms, forests, rivers and trails infuses the passionate spirit of the urban core. Wherever you go here — to wineries and waterways or one-of-a-kind boutiques and beautiful byways — prepare to feel the inspiration.

PORTLAND REGION

TRIP IDEAS Trendsetters, trailblazers and innovators, Portland-area pioneers are always starting something new in the worlds of fine cuisine, arts and culture. But within all that revolutionary urban spirit, the metro area maintains a friendly welcome. Get to know the Portland Region.

Tom McCall Waterfront Park

Downtown Portland is a vibrant hub of shopping, dining, parks and performance halls all crammed into one energetic neighborhood. Consequently, it’s one of the town’s most walkable neighborhoods with something exciting around every corner. From Pioneer Courthouse Square near the elegant 19th-century courthouse, a stroll along the Park blocks leads past the venerable Portland Art Museum and the classic Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, one of five venues that make up Portland’5 Centers for the Arts. Farther east, Tom McCall Waterfront Park offers a path for walkers and runners along the lazy Willamette River. Powell’s City of Books, the world’s largest independent bookstore, houses a full city block of titles for browsing and frequent readings. The hip West End and Pearl District are a shopper’s paradise with scores of unique boutiques, Oregon designers and one-of-a kind makers.

NICK WOO

Creativity isn’t just nurtured in Portland; it’s a way of life. Southeast neighborhoods exude this innovate spirit from the kiln to the cocktail bar. Radius Art Studio welcomes painters, ceramicists, fashion designers and printmakers to an open studio. Creative experimentation thrives in the makers scene with the DIY Bar, where you can work on individual craft projects while sipping local beer, wine and cider. Food-cart pods continue a tradition of playful experimentation with late-night Cartopia, family-friendly Cartlandia, Latin-focused Portland Mercado and others. Downtown, the giant warehouse of recycled craft supplies and other upcycled materials at the nonprofit SCRAP PDX is a gold mine for makers, artists and treasure hunters alike.

Alberta Street

Cultural Heart of North Portland North and Northeast Portland are diverse and thriving communities with lively energy and entrepreneurial spirit. Vibrant shopping districts, these locales have also distinguished themselves as culinary hubs with dozens of hot spots clustered on Mississippi Avenue alone, including a world of international cuisine, boutiques and casual pubs and cafes. Check out Ori Gallery, which hosts monthly exhibits spotlighting trans and queer artists of color. Nearby Alberta Street is home to cult favorites like Tin Shed Garden Cafe and farm-to-cone Salt & Straw. Alberta has earned the moniker of Alberta Arts District with a monthly street fair and gallery walk, plus a host of stores to delight art-minded visitors like Guardino Gallery, Monograph Bookwerks, Collage and Bolt Neighborhood Fabric Boutique. Mississippi Studios and the Alberta Rose Theatre are just two area nightclubs bringing live music to the neighborhood. Learn more about these neighborhoods’ cultural heritage and identities with Pioneers of Color Walking Tours.

Forest Park 82

T R AV ELO R EG O N .CO M

In Portland you don’t have to go far to feel like you are out of the city and into the wild. Forest Park — one of the largest urban parks in the nation — offers 5,200 acres/2,104 hectares of grand old trees, meadows and wildflowers. Nearby Washington Park features a model of manicured beauty. Stroll the Portland Japanese Garden, with eight distinct authentic Japanese-style gardens, or Hoyt Arboretum, with 2,000 species of trees and 12 miles/19 kilometers of trails, and visit the International Rose Test Garden with more than 10,000 rose bushes. In Oregon City, the thundering waters of Willamette Falls create the nation’s second-largest waterfall by volume. Lake Oswego’s George Rogers Park stretches across 26 acres/11 hectares with river access, picnic areas, walking trails and the historic “Iron Furnace,” a testament to the region’s industrial past.

Sherwood’s Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge is a dynamic watershed known for ample birdlife, while Mary S. Young Park in West Linn features wooded trails and a large off-leash area for canine day-trippers.

Urban Nature Retreats

One of Portland’s greatest treasures, Lan Su Chinese Garden is a tranquil oasis in the heart of the city. It is your passport to pause, discover and experience the rich culture of China — all just a short drive, walk, or light rail train ride away.

enter the wonderland with tea in the teahouse, cultural performances, art exhibitions, the fragrance of a rare plant or the stunning architecture of 16th century China. Lan Su Chinese Garden always has something new to offer — by the minute, by the hour and with the seasons.

OREGON

Discover the stories that shape our state.

More than half a million Americans traveled the Oregon Trail in search of better lives in the mid-1800s. Many of them found what they were looking for in the hamlets south and east of Portland. In Oregon City, the End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center honors their journey with hands-on exhibits and true stories from trail pioneers. The community of Milwaukie is home to Bob’s Red Mill Whole Grain Store, Restaurant and Bakery, where the trailblazing founders bring natural foods to home chefs. Did you know Gresham was once the raspberry capital of the world? The town’s agricultural history is preserved at the Gresham History Museum — housed in a 1913 Carnegie Library and just one of the town’s many historic buildings.

For the panoramic views that charmed early settlers, view six mountains from Hogan Butte Nature Park or walk the streets of Gresham for original painted art highlighting historic events. A dozen original life-size bronze statues add to the pioneering experience.

Outdoor Escapes in Columbia County Though not far from the hustle and bustle of the city, the wide-open roads and small towns of Columbia County feel a world away.

This recreational playground offers myriad ways to explore the outdoors. The rails-to-trails Crown Zellerbach Trail leads from the town of Scappoose up the Nehalem Divide toward Vernonia. This moderate trail through woods and meadows is great for hiking, mountain biking and gravel riding. Get out on the river at the Scappoose Bay Paddling Center, where you can book rentals and tours for kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and even SUP yoga. For cycling enthusiasts, the 21-mile/34-kilometer Banks-Vernonia State Trail offers a car-free, tree-lined route over old bridges and through bird-filled glades. With its tranquil 280 acres/113 hectares, Camp Wilkerson is beloved by day hikers, campers and equestrians alike. Picnic in the sunshine or pitch a tent and sleep out under the stars.

Banks-Vernonia State Trail

Just west of Portland’s urban core, the communities of the Tualatin Valley give a warm rural welcome. A weekend getaway offers an immersion into wine and outdoor recreation. Take a scenic drive along the Vineyard and Valley Scenic Tour Route, which winds for 60 miles/97 kilometers through the burgs of Sherwood, Gaston, Banks and Helvetia past farms, orchards and vineyards. Family farms like Blooming Junction and Unger Farms show a passion for sustainable agriculture. The state’s esteemed winemaking tradition is represented by 30 local wineries and tasting rooms, and the cities of Beaverton, Hillsboro and Tigard are known for their top-notch international cuisine. Two-wheeled tourists ride the beautiful Tualatin Valley Scenic Bikeway, while paddlers find bliss along the Tualatin River Water Trail.

Treasures abound at the Rice Museum of Rocks & Minerals. Cap your day at any of the family-friendly brewpubs along the new Tualatin Valley Ale Trail.

The beauty of the Mt. Hood and Columbia River Gorge region has been shaped by the geological dramas of the past. Ice age floods carved out the soaring basalt cliff line of the Gorge, and volcanic eruptions scoured the river valley at the foot of Mt. Hood. Present-day visitors will find a land of breathtaking beauty in the region’s scenic rivers, shaggy forests and picturesque family orchards along with fresh, seasonal cuisine and craft beer in its friendly small towns. Whether you’re looking for epic outdoor recreation or epicurean wonders, history and heritage or artists’ enclaves, you’ll find it here. This region is a popular one. Our advice is to get off the beaten track, discover the region’s lesser-known delights, and visit during fall, winter and spring.

Whatever you do, you’re sure to be shaped forever by your visit here.

TRIP IDEAS With cascading waterfalls, scores of scenic hiking trails and world-class water play, the Mt. Hood and Columbia River Gorge region is an immersion in the senses. Sip your way along the Breweries in the Gorge ale trail, visit the farms and orchards, and take in the region’s rich history from the last ice age to early Native American civilization to Lewis and Clark and the present day.

Paddling on Estacada Lake

Out on the Water The rivers flowing off of Mt. Hood into the mighty Columbia and Willamette rivers make the Mt. Hood and Columbia Gorge region ripe for water play. Book a trip with a whitewater rafting company for an exhilarating ride through class III and IV rapids on the Clackamas River, or take a mellower trip and look for nesting eagle and osprey. Clackamas River Outfitters in Estacada rents kayaks and stand-up paddleboards for cruising local waterways, and leads guided trips and lessons on Estacada Lake and the Clackamas River. Float On SUP in The Dalles challenges yogis with on-the-board yoga classes. Windsurfers launch into the Columbia River for the world-famous Gorge winds from the rocky beach at Rowena and from Blackberry Beach in Cascade Locks. That town is also internationally renowned for hosting sailboat races all summer long at pretty Marine Park.

Artists’ Way The dramatic natural landscapes of the Gorge have inspired an outpouring of expression from artists of all mediums. In Troutdale, renowned sculptors Rip and Alison Caswell capture the grace of wild creatures and human emotion in their signature bronze work.

Their collection is displayed at the Troutdale Art Center, which offers the chance to see local sculptors, painters, photographers and mixed-media artists at work. Estacada is home to Artback Artists — check out their Walking Tour of the Estacada Artback Murals — and the Spiral Gallery co-op, which showcases artists’ work from around the region. At Soderberg Gallery & Studio in Cascade Locks, bronze artist Heather Soderberg runs one of the first woman-owned foundries in the U.S. The Hood River BIG ART Walking Tour is a self-guided exploration of 18 arresting outdoor installations around town, while The Remains working studio and gallery features emerging artists.

The Dalles Art Center offers classes and regular exhibits in all mediums, while the nearby National Neon Sign Museum preserves this signature expression of a bygone era.

Cultivating Culture With Lewis and Clark, the Oregon Trail, and the Historic Columbia River Highway, this region has long been a magnet for trailblazers. Fort Dalles Museum, a remnant of an 1856 military installation, preserves stories of trail pioneers, some of whom abandoned the overland route here to float the river. The nearby Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum chronicles the tale of the Lewis and Clark expedition as well as the history of Wasco County — the largest in the nation when founded in 1854. Travel through time along the 75-mile/121-kilometer Historic Columbia River Highway between The Dalles and Troutdale, the nation’s first planned scenic roadway and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In Government Camp, history buffs will appreciate the historic photos, books and objects — like a ski lift chair from 1939 — at the Mt. Hood Cultural Center and Museum, with expansive mountain views.

Bigfoot fans can geek out at the new North American Bigfoot Center in Boring, with artifacts and interactive exhibits for all ages.

Sensational Sipping There must be something in the water.

The breweries, wineries and cideries of the region keep multiplying with delicious results. You can join the libation celebration with a tasting trip through the region. Don’t miss standouts like Clackamas River Growlers in Estacada, Sandy’s Bunsenbrewer, Thunder Island Brewing Company in Cascade Locks, Hood River’s Ferment Brewing Company and Freebridge Brewing in The Dalles. Longtime orchard towns Hood River and Mosier have squeezed a new tradition out of local heirloom apples and pears. Taste the results at Runcible Cider, Slopeswell Cider, Crush Cider Runcible Cider Cafe and others. The area also nurtures a blossoming wine industry with tasting rooms like Boring Winery in Boring, Buddha Kat Winery in Sandy, and dozens of wineries in Hood River and The Dalles. Hood River’s Camp 1805 offers explorations in whiskey, vodka and rum.

The trails of Mt. Hood and the Columbia River Gorge draw outdoor enthusiasts from all over the world for epic mountain biking, hiking and road cycling. Experienced mountain bikers fly through the curves of the award-winning 15.7-mile/25.3kilometer Sandy Ridge Trail System, while beginner dirt surfers zip through 3.5 miles/5.6 kilometers of rolling single-track on the Easy CLIMB Trail and the new flowy Timberline Bike Park (which offers lessons and tours).

Traveling by foot, skip the crowds and head to the lesser-traveled 3.7-mile/ 6-kilometer Dry Creek Falls Trail, where you can feel the brisk spray of the waterfall on your face. Pup Creek Falls is a moderate, 7.8-mile/12.6-kilometer jaunt to a dramatic, two-tier falls. Local trails are especially beautiful in the fall, and they’re now more accessible with shuttle services like Mt. Hood Express and Columbia Gorge Express. Experienced road cyclists can cruise a section of the 70-mile Cascading Rivers Scenic Bikeway, from Estacada to Detroit.

Wherever you hit the trail, remember to follow leave-no-trace guidelines and heed posted signage.

Four Seasons on Mt. Hood Oregon’s tallest peak is beloved for its winter wonders, but Mt. Hood offers a bonanza of outdoor fun year-round. Anglers look forward to the spring chinook salmon run on the Columbia River, and visitors enjoy viewing the baby salmon (fry and fingerlings) at the Wildwood Recreation Site’s Cascade Streamwatch, accessible via a short paved trail. Summer is mountain bike time at Mt. Hood Adventure Park at Skibowl with lift-assist downhill mountain biking, free riding and cross-country mountain bike trails, as well as bungee jumping, the region’s only alpine slide and other high-adrenaline activities for kids. Spend the night in a yome (yurt/dome) at Promontory Park. Fall is the time to hike through colorful foliage and forage for huckleberries and wild mushrooms. Winter is for powderhounds at the five ski resorts — Timberline Lodge & Ski Area, Mt. Hood Meadows Ski and Snowboard Resort, Mt. Hood Skibowl, Summit Ski Area, and Cooper Spur Mountain Resort — as well as snowshoeing around Trillium Lake and Nordic skiing at resorts and sno-parks.

Farms and Fields

Long after the ice age floods scoured this area, farms sprang up in the rich sediment left behind. Visitors can experience the resulting agricultural tradition at area farms, fruit stands and food trails. The Hood River County Fruit Loop circles the valley with 29 stops at orchards, lavender farms, wineries, U-pick blueberry patches and more.

Stop at The Gorge White House for a stunning flower garden, and stay for a wine or cider tasting and garden-fresh bite from the food cart. The East Gorge Food Trail takes gastronomes on a tour of the best cideries, cherry orchards, wineries and farms in the region. Among them, stop at Analemma Wines, Garnier Vineyards or Idiot’s Grace for wines made from grapes grown in the area’s sunny vineyards. In Corbett fill your berry bucket at Klock Farm and Wills Berry Hill, and check out farm stays and farmer-for-a-day opportunities at Old McDonald’s Farm.

Tucked in between the steep Cascade Mountains and the rolling Coast Range, the Willamette Valley stretches for 112 miles/ 180 kilometers south of Portland and has long been a destination for fearless explorers. Some traveled the harrowing Oregon Trail in the 19th century for the promise of a new homeland. Others built the historic covered bridges that still span local waterways and connect communities. More recent innovators put down early roots in the state’s now famous wine country and opened up restaurants that celebrated the farm-to-table dining revolution. Come for a visit and find the delights of a lifetime.

It was the first pinot noir grapes that put the Willamette Valley on the map in the 1970s, and the resulting wine culture has kept them there. But there’s more to the valley than vineyards. The natural beauty of its mountains and rivers, along with a vibrant arts scene, offers visitors much more to explore.

McKenzie River Scenic Byway

Beautiful Byways Back roads and byways of the Willamette Valley delight sightseers, shutterbugs and history buffs alike. Take a drive through history along the unforgettable Cottage Grove Covered Bridge Tour Route. This 20-mile/32-kilometer trip passes by six historic covered bridges and picturesque Dorena Lake. Dramatic McKenzie Pass-Santiam Pass Scenic Byway climbs for 82 miles/132 kilometers through lava fields, alpine lakes and fir forests. The 34-mile/55-kilometer McKenzie River Scenic Byway follows the banks of that river east of Eugene, while the 72-mile/115-kilometer Marys Peak to Pacific Scenic Byway winds from Corvallis to the Coast. The 60-mile/ 97-kilometer Aufderheide Scenic Byway hugs the crystalline waters of the Willamette and McKenzie rivers between the McKenzie River and Oakridge. Stop along the 55-mile/89-kilometer Silver Falls Tour Route for waterfall hikes and mountain views. The West Cascades Scenic Byway, a cruise of 215 miles/346 kilometers, passes through a landscape of rushing rivers and lush forests.

Two-Wheeled Touring

Catamount Loop Trail 106 T R AV ELO R EG O N .CO M

The spectacular single-track trails, scenic back roads and family-friendly bike paths make the Willamette Valley a dream destination for cyclists. Oakridge harbors hundreds of miles of mountain biking trails for intermediate to advanced levels. Experienced riders bomb down the epic 25.4-mile/40.9-kilometer McKenzie River Trail. Road cyclists pedal two of Oregon’s 17 official state scenic bikeways. The mild 36-mile/58-kilometer Covered Bridges Scenic Bikeway winds past six of the region’s historic covered bridges and includes the car-free Row River Trail. Riders can take on all or part of the moderate 134-mile/216-kilometer Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway through agrarian fields and charming small towns. Hardy gravel riders grind out the challenging Wings, Wine and Wonder route — 54 miles/87 kilometers passing farms, vineyards and the Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge. Farther north in Falls City, Black Rock Mountain Bike Area is a top spot for cyclists to catch some air through a fern-covered forest, with an intro loop as well as challenging features. Meanwhile, you can tour Silver Falls State Park via the 6-mile Catamount Loop Trail, featuring exciting turns, berms and rock features. If you’re traveling without wheels, many local shops rent bikes.

TRIP IDEAS

ANDRÉA JOHNSON

World famous for its pinot noir but also rich in pinot gris, chardonnay and riesling, Willamette Valley wine country offers an astonishing number of choices and an always friendly welcome. With more than 750 vineyards and nearly 600 wineries to sample from, it’s lucky that the wine scene here is a year-round affair. Springtime release parties offer barrel tastings and special events throughout the season. Summertime brings seasonal dinners on the beautiful grounds of local farms and orchards. Things get cozy in fall with Wine Country Thanksgiving, now in its 38th year. During this festive event, 140 wineries open their doors for tastings, unique food pairings and live music. Many tasting rooms remain open through the winter for cellar season and offer intimate settings to sit, sip and get to know the winemakers. For ongoing events, visit OregonWineCountry.org.

Sipping Scene

Hop Valley Brewing

Though indisputably famous for its wineries, the Willamette Valley has developed a reputation for other libations, too. To explore the robust craft-beer culture, you can sip your way down the Eugene Ale Trail, which includes hoppy stops at 23 craft breweries, including Good Food Award champ Ninkasi Brewing Company and World Beer Cup winner Oakshire Brewing. For a taste of the region’s growing craft-distillery culture, check out the Eugene Distillery Trail with four tasting rooms, including national award-winning Swallowtail Spirits. Discover new favorites in Eugene and beyond on the South Willamette Valley Food Trail. The Salem Ale and Cider Trail combines two fermented favorites into more than a dozen craft alehouses and cideries to explore. Corvallis unites all tasting traditions with hot spots including Block 15 Brewing, 4 Spirits Distillery and 2 Towns Ciderhouse, among many others along the new MidWillamette Valley Food Trail.

The north valley’s smaller highways and mellow back roads guide visitors on a charming tour of off-the-beaten-path epicurean experiences. Start by exploring the verdant vineyards of Newberg, Dundee, Carlton and Yamhill. Here you can drill down into the distinct subregions within the larger Willamette Valley AVA, including the sub-AVAs like Dundee Hills, Ribbon Ridge, Yamhill-Carlton and McMinnville. To taste the gourmet cuisine that thrives alongside the wine industry, try Earth & Sea Restaurant in Carlton, Subterra Restaurant in Newberg and Pizza Capo in McMinnville. In Amity, a stop at The Brigittine Monks Gourmet Confectionery will sweeten your trip with hand-dipped truffles and artisan fudge. In spring, summer and fall, detour to Falls City for a hidden treasure of a bakery called the Bread Board and the untraveled Valley of the Giants hike under a massive old-growth canopy.

In the town of Independence, stop at Rogue Farms Chatoe Tasting Room, and then float across the Willamette River on the cable-operated ferry in the town of Buena Vista.

Central Valley History Tour A quick jaunt off the interstate, the friendly towns of the central valley feel like a step back in time. Catch a movie in Albany’s restored historic Pix Theatre, or get a shoeshine at The Natty Dresser menswear shop. Tour the Albany Historic Carousel & Museum to view a collection of hand-carved and painted magical creatures. Decidedly new-fashioned farmto-table cuisine can be found at James Beard-nominated Sybaris Bistro. In nearby Brownsville, a walking tour guides visitors to more than 30 historic buildings in the town core. The Linn County Historical Museum teaches a history lesson about the town’s early days as a pioneer settlement. At the Thompson’s Mills State Heritage Site, check out a 150-year-old water-powered grain mill.

In Lebanon, where the historic Santiam Wagon Road brought settlers from the 1860s to the 1930s, visitors come for the annual strawberry festival and rides on the antique Santiam Excursion Trains.

South Valley Art Tour The towns around the southern Willamette Valley reflect the region’s artistic spirit. In preparation for the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials and 2021 World Athletic Championships in track and field, Eugene is now filled with public art everywhere, from parks to buildings. The 20x21 EUG Mural Project showcases the work of more than 20 international artists, including the arresting work of Eugene artist Ila Rose — a two-faced, 40-foot/12-meter painting of a woman with snake-adorned hair. Nearby Springfield offers a self-guided tour of more than 20 vibrant outdoor murals. “The Simpsons” mural is a favorite — an illustration of the famous and Springfieldinspired comedy — while Springfield High School graduate and author Ken Kesey is the subject of another. The little town of Cottage Grove makes a big contribution to the art scene with 20 murals. Take a walking tour of the collection to see an illustration of local child prodigy and nature writer Opal Whiteley, and a tableau of 1920s movie star Buster Keaton, who filmed “The General” near here.

Rogue River rafting

Southern Oregon is home to a tremendous cache of natural treasures — underground marble caverns in one of the West’s largest cave systems, the nation’s deepest lake in the caldera of an ancient volcano, and miles of rushing Wild and Scenic Rivers. The region is also home to human-made gems like the highly regarded Oregon Shakespeare Festival, an acclaimed winemaking tradition, and a culinary and craftbeverage scene to cherish. There’s richness here everywhere you wander.

TRIP IDEAS Southern Oregon is a land of high drama. From the stages of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival to the scene of ancient lava flows and a starring role in the craft-beverage scene, you never know what you’ll find in the next act. Find your own inspiration along this spectacular Oregon road trip.

Vidae Falls

Scenic boat tour Snowshoeing

Four Seasons at Crater Lake Just standing on the rim of this 7,700-year-old caldera and looking down into the lapis lazuli waters of Crater Lake is the experience of a lifetime. But this 183,000-acre/74,057-hectare national park offers year-round opportunities for exploring. In spring look for the snowmelt to increase Vidae Falls and an explosion of wildflowers as you drive along the scenic Rim Road. Summer is the season for guided boat tours and visits to the tree-studded cinder cone of Wizard Island. You can leave the car at home and ride the Crater Lake Trolley from Klamath Falls. Book a campsite and watch the sunset over the crater rim. Crisp fall days are perfect for hiking more than a dozen trails within the park, including the Pinnacles — an easy, ADA-accessible 1-mile/1.6-kilometer jaunt to the fantastical fumaroles — and the strenuous Mt. Scott hike, 5 miles/8 kilometers with panoramic views. In winter take a free ranger-led snowshoe tour or cross-country ski through the magical landscape and look for the footprints of fleet-footed wild creatures.

Libation Celebration Maybe it’s the proximity of the Wild and Scenic Rogue River or the nearness of the deep woods of nearby national forests.

Something has inspired an untamed tradition of winemaking and brewing in and around the Rogue Valley. Ashland is home to national and international award-winning Caldera Brewing Company, and Medford alone offers six stops along the Southern Oregon Ale Trail. For wine lovers, the Southern Oregon AVA includes five distinct sub-AVAs — Elkton, Red Hill/Douglas County, Umpqua Valley, Rogue Valley and Applegate Valley — with a diverse range of delicious wines. Wine-tasting rooms near Medford feature the bold reds and crisp whites of the Rogue Valley wine region. The Bear Creek Wine Trail leads visitors to 10 distinct tasting rooms in Ashland, Jacksonville and Medford.

Winding its way out of Grants Pass toward historic Jacksonville, the Applegate Wine Trail leads visitors to delightful tastes at 18 award-winning wineries, including producers of big-flavored syrah, grenache and tempranillo.

Irvine & Roberts Vineyard

Gateway to the Caves The Grants Pass area is a region of natural wonders with its ancient marble caves, roaring Rogue River and soaring Siskiyou Mountains.

Find the marbled halls of the Oregon Caves National Monument and Preserve deep underground just east of Cave Junction.

You can explore the preserve’s 4,554 acres/1,843 hectares on a guided tour, on an off-trail caving tour or along six hiking trails within the park. Also near Cave Junction, find Out ’n’ About Treehouse Treesort with zip-line tours and the chance to sleep high in the branches of a tree. Grants Pass is the point of departure for Hellgate Jetboat Excursions, which offers exhilarating rides up the Wild and Scenic Rogue River into the awe-inspiring Hellgate Canyon and meals at old-fashioned riverside lodges. For a hands-on, high-adrenaline whitewater-rafting experience, book a trip down the Rogue with one of the area’s experienced guide companies.

Fly-fishing on the North Umpqua River

TYLER ROEMER

Umpqua Valley Exploration The deep river canyons and towering forests make the Umpqua Valley a land of undiscovered beauty and untold stories. The North Umpqua section of the RogueUmpqua Scenic Byway leads to picturesque fishing towns of Glide, Idleyld Park and Steamboat. You’ll also find access to stunning natural beauty like the Colliding Rivers Viewpoint, Rock Creek Fish Hatchery and multiple trailheads accessing the gorgeous North Umpqua Trail — 79 miles/127 kilometers of hiking, waterfalls, mountain biking and fishing. The Umpqua Valley wine region is home to more than two dozen world-class tasting rooms and vineyards spread among the towns of Elkton, Oakland, Winston and Roseburg. The small town of Roseburg is big on history with its Blast Tour, chronicling a dynamite explosion that leveled eight city blocks, as well as the Douglas County Museum. Visit Oakland for a tour of more than 90 historic buildings, antique shops and pioneer cemeteries, and follow the self-guided Great Umpqua Food Trail for dozens of fresh food-based experiences along the way.

Thespians’ Enclave “All the world’s a stage,” the Bard said, and that’s certainly the case in and around Ashland, where drama lovers gather for world-class live theater throughout the year. The Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF) takes a starring role in the region’s dramatic undertakings with awardwinning plays on three stages, including the beloved outdoor Allen Elizabethan Theatre. In its 85th season, OSF stages beloved Shakespearean works like “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and “The Tempest” along with contemporary takes on race and class by a diverse group of playwrights. Ashland is also home to Oregon Cabaret Theatre, which has delighted dinner theatergoers for more than three decades. Camelot Theatre in nearby Talent this year includes beloved musicals “Honeymoon in Vegas” and “Annie.” Film buffs converge in April for the Ashland Independent Film Festival — five days of more than 100 documentary, feature and short films with lectures and presentations from directors.

Outdoor Play in the Klamath Basin With almost 300 days of sunshine per year, the outdoor playground of the Klamath Basin has recreational options galore.

Bird spotters stop at the Upper and Lower Klamath lakes for a gander at resident birds and migrators along the Pacific Flyway like eagles, raptors and showy western tanagers. The Running Y Ranch Resort has an 18-hole Arnold Palmer-designed course for golfers, while the Upper Klamath Canoe Trail leads boaters on a scenic 9.5-mile/15.3-kilometer paddle through a freshwater marsh teeming with wildlife. Mountain bikers climb and descend a thrilling 35 miles/56 kilometers of trail at Spence Mountain.

Fly-fishing folk cast from the banks and shallows of Williamson River and Klamath Lake. For an old-fashioned family lake trip, you can’t beat Lake of the Woods. Choose from fishing, boating, swimming and hanging out at cozy cabins set on a picturesque lake with views of majestic Mt. McLoughlin.

Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge

Southern Oregon’s Outback There’s off the beaten path and then there’s the true outback. The geology of Southern Oregon makes for a dramatic road trip into wild country. Tucked into the ridgeline above the Warner Valley, the Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge provides a haven for the region’s pronghorn population and more than 300 other wild species, including bighorn sheep and sage grouse. Visit the approximately 271,000-acre/110,000-hectare refuge for bird-watching and wildlife spotting in rugged canyons and wetlands. Rising 200 feet/61 meters above the desert floor, the distinctive horseshoe tuft ring of Fort Rock is all that remains of an old volcano. Hike amid the ancient palisades to see the terracing left by waters of a long-ago lake. Nearby Lakeview is the gateway to high-desert mountain biking, hiking and fishing in the Fremont-Winema National Forest and birding in Goose Lake State Recreation Area. Summer Lake Wildlife Area is also a great place to spot birds migrating along the Pacific Flyway, and Summer Lake Hot Springs offers a wonderful outdoor soak.

The sunny, high-desert landscape of Central Oregon brings happiness in myriad ways. There’s the sandy, rolling single-track beloved by mountain bikers and the bluebird skiing that draws powderhounds to the slopes of Mt. Bachelor. Old West enthusiasts come for smalltown rodeo and historic sites, while beer lovers converge for the craft beer created from the clean river water and locally grown hops.

Natural-history buffs explore a land of lava and wild creatures. There are so many ways to love Central Oregon. The hard part is picking where to start. So take a deep breath of the crisp, sagebrush-scented air and jump in.

CENTRAL OREGON

TRIP IDEAS Central Oregon is a land of old volcanoes and ancient lava, of high-desert sagebrush and wide-open spaces. This sunny country is chock-full of Wild West history and new West traditions. From craft-beer brewing to biking and big mountain terrain, Central Oregon offers a full-on experience.

Round Mountain Trail

Biking and Brew Burgs North from Bend, the high-desert hamlets of Redmond, Terrebonne and Prineville offer their own take on two Central Oregon traditions: mountain biking and craft beer. Redmond keeps pace with the Oregon brew scene with the likes of Wild Ride Brewing, Cascade Lakes Brewing Company, Kobold Brewing/The Vault Taphouse and Porter Brewing Company. Just outside of town, mountain biking trails in Redmond’s Maston network offer 18 miles/29 kilometers of green-rated trail. Terrebonne, known as the gateway to rock-climbing paradise Smith Rock, also gives access to the park’s 10 miles/16 kilometers of mostly blue-rated mountain biking trails. Terrebonne’s contribution to the craft-beer scene is hop farm and nano-brewery Mystic Roots Brewing. Set at the foothills of the Ochoco Mountains, Prineville is a treasure trove of single-track with favorites like 8.8-mile/14-kilometer, intermediate Round Mountain Trail. Sip a post-ride pint at Ochoco Brewing Company or Crooked River Brewing.

Downtown Sisters

When they saw the lush grasslands around Sisters, westward pioneers hollered “Whoa!” and put down stakes. Today the small town perched in the Cascades retains its Western heritage with many working ranches. Visitors can find regional flavor at downtown shops styled to look like Western storefronts, as well as local watering holes like the Sisters Saloon & Ranch Grill. At the annual Sisters Rodeo, spectators are treated to a skillful display of roping, riding, broncing and barrel racing from the best cowboys and cowgirls in the West. Saddle up for a guided trail ride at a local dude ranch, many of which offer lodging and resort services. Nearby Camp Sherman started as a summertime getaway for late 19th-century urbanites. Today the little Metolius River community carries on that tradition of outdoor recreation with hiking, fly-fishing or just kicking back at a riverside cabin.

Urban Bliss in Bend Set amid the rural beauty of the high-desert plains and soaring Cascade Mountain peaks, the urban-leaning outpost of Bend offers fine cuisine, one-of-a-kind boutiques and a vibrant nightlife. Browse downtown shops like Clementine Urban Mercantile and Lone Crow Bungalow for rustic home decor. The Old Ironworks District is a creative enclave of working artists’ studios and handcrafted wares, and the Old Mill District offers scores of national-brand shops. Taste the beer that helped launch Oregon’s craftbeer revolution at Deschutes Brewery, just one of 22 stops along the Bend Ale Trail. Fine brews complement the region’s growing culinary tradition with offerings like the playful counter-service spot Spork, vibrant tapas bar Barrio and classic steakhouse Bos Taurus. Jump into the happening music scene with shows at The Domino Room and all-ages performances at McMenamins Old St. Francis School.

Cascade Lakes

Cascade Lakes and Deschutes National Forest It’s easy to see why outdoor recreationists flock to the high alpine Cascade Lakes and the lush Deschutes National Forest. The hard part is choosing where to play.

Comprising a total of 1.8 million acres/728,434 hectares, the Deschutes National Forest holds some of the region’s most scenic hiking trails, like the strenuous 23-mile/ 37-kilometer Broken Top Trail, a favorite for backpackers that encircles the distinctive 9,175-foot/2,797-meter peak. The family-friendly Todd Lake Loop Trail passes picturesque meadows and gains awe-inspiring views of Mt. Bachelor in an easy, 1.8-mile/2.9-kilometer route. A 7.7-mile/12.4-kilometer lollipop to Swampy Lakes offers a moderate day hike through wildflower fields and past cascading waterfalls.

Fly-fishers cast for trout and bass at Davis Lake, Lava Lake and Hosmer Lake, and paddlers rent canoes at peaceful Elk Lake or Cultus Lake. Drive the entire 66-mile/ 106-kilometer Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway for breathtaking views of soaring Cascade peaks, placid lake waters and wildflower-strewn glades.

Newberry National Volcanic Monument

In the Land of Lava The scarred landscape here tells a tale of volcanic eruptions, basalt flows, obsidian deposits and sunken calderas, and it’s a story that never gets old. A study of the region’s volcanic past starts at Lava Lands Visitor Center, the information hub of the 54,000-acre/21,853-hectare Newberry National Volcanic Monument. Exhibits recount geological history, and an interpretive trail illuminates the molten landscape. Shuttle or hike up to the Lava Butte Lookout for epic views from the ancient cinder cone.

There’s more to explore with camping at picturesque Paulina Lake and fishing at its sister East Lake. Geological lessons continue at the High Desert Museum, where compelling exhibits chronicle the lives of birds and wild creatures living in the lava landscape.

Tucked in along the Deschutes River and in the Deschutes National Forest, various mountain resorts offer myriad ways to play in the ancient lands, from lolling by sunny pools to biking paved paths amid the lava flows and taking snowy horse-drawn sleigh rides.

Summer on Mt. Bachelor The 9,065-foot/2,763-meter peak of Mt. Bachelor has earned itself a reputation as a winter wonderland, but it’s a paradise of play in summertime, too. When the snow melts, Mt. Bachelor Bike Park is the destination for riders bombing down 13 miles/21 kilometers of lift-serviced downhill trails. The resort offers Gravity Camp for kids and teens, as well as a skills park for beginning bikers. The cross-country-style Bachy Trail links up with dozens of trailheads for miles of mountain biking. Hikers ride the lifts on sunny days to bag the summit for epic views of the Cascade Range and highdesert plains. The 18-hole Professional Disc Golf Association course offers disc golfers a high-altitude challenge as they putt their way down the mountain. A new three-stage zip line drops along the volcano’s slopes for a speedy adventure — with dual lines allowing for some friendly competition to the bottom.

Mt. Bachelor Bike Park

High Cascade peaks draw the frosty marine air off the Pacific Ocean for a marriage that results in champagne powder, and that’s the perfect foundation for winter fun. Ski or board the steeps, deeps and trees of Mt. Bachelor ski area’s 101 runs, where 3,365 feet/1,026 meters of vertical drop on 4,300 acres/1,740 hectares of skiable terrain make up one of the six biggest ski areas in the nation. Bachelor’s Snowblast Tubing Park is a thrilling, 800-foot/244-meter ride down six speedy lanes, and the mountain offers the longest groomed Nordic skiing season in the U.S. with trails open from mid-November into May. The nearby Meissner Nordic trail system offers 25 miles/40 kilometers of groomed trail for classic and skate skiing. Hoodoo Ski Area offers 34 runs and five lifts, a tubing run and Nordic trails. Sno-parks around the region provide backcountry access, snowshoeing and designated dog-friendly snow trails. Fat-tire fanatics may check out local shops for lessons and rentals for snow-biking bliss.

Calling all adventurers: Rugged Eastern Oregon country wants you.

With the soaring peaks of the Wallowa Mountains, hidden river gorges, the deep chasm of Hells Canyon and magical formations of the John Day Fossil Beds, it’s a destination with natural splendor that’s ripe for exploring. There’s plenty of human history to discover here too — Old West rodeos, Native American cultural traditions and unexpected intersections of European, African American and Asian cultures. In the far southeastern corner of the state, the wild Owyhee Canyonlands offer the ultimate solitude. Your bold journey begins here.

TRIP IDEAS Out here the mountains climb high and the rivers run free. The wide-open spaces brim with hidden canyons, soaring buttes and wildflower-laden meadows. The rural communities preserve their old ways of farming and rodeoing while inspiring new traditions in art and culture. You never know what you’ll discover in Eastern Oregon.

Wallowa Barn Tour

Some call the Wallowa Mountains “Oregon’s Alps,” and the soaring peaks draw visitors to hike, camp and paddle the placid waters of Wallowa Lake. But the region offers much more to explore. The self-guided Wallowa Barn Tour illuminates the longstanding agricultural traditions of the region’s farms and ranches with attractive and historic structures. Visitors can experience the art inspired by the rural spirit here along the Northeast Oregon Arts Trail, which includes dozens of galleries, art centers and theaters, such as the Crossroads Carnegie Art Center, the Josephy Center for Arts and Culture, and Art Center East. The less-traveled winter season offers myriad ways to explore the snowy landscape, including skiing at family-friendly Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort, watching the Eagle Cap Extreme Sled Dog Race and climbing aboard the Sumpter Valley Railroad or Eagle Cap Excursion Train for festive holiday rides on the rails.

New Wallowa Wanderings

The Wild West spirit is alive and kicking in Pendleton, where working farms and ranches carry on a longstanding tradition of living off the land. Wannabe buckaroos get a feel for cowboy life at the annual Pendleton Round-Up â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â a weeklong hoedown of roping, riding and wrangling as well as Native American song, dance and celebration.

Year-round, visitors can see memorabilia at the Pendleton Round-Up and Happy Canyon Hall of Fame. The TamĂĄstslikt Cultural Institute chronicles thousands of years of history of the Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla tribes, whose devastation was an unfortunate part of our Western legacy. Pendleton is full of friendly watering holes including Prodigal Son Brewery and Pub and Oregon Grain Growers Brand Distillery, the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst craft distillery creating whiskey and vodka from local grain.

The Pendleton Center for the Arts showcases the work of emerging local artists, and around town, artisans carry on longtime traditions of handcrafting Western saddles, boots and hats. The 30-mile Whisky & Rocks Farm Loop connects Pendleton with wine-rich Milton-Freewater, showcasing award-winning winemakers, distillers, brewers, farmers, cheesemakers and chocolatiers.

Blue Mountains and Baker City With a high point at more than 9,000 feet/ 2,743 meters, the snowy Blue Mountains stand sentinel over the small rural outposts of Eastern Oregon. The town of Prairie City nestles into the mountain’s west side, a gateway for fishing in the Middle Fork of the John Day River and wintertime Nordic skiing and snowmobiling. Stay at the historic Hotel Prairie, and belly up to the bar at the Oxbow Restaurant and Saloon. On the mountains’ eastern side, the tiny town of Unity draws anglers year-round to the Unity Reservoir. Stop for home cooking at the Water Hole Cafe & Mercantile. Visitors to Baker City will find a vibrant and award-winning downtown, including the lovingly restored Geiser Grand Hotel, Barley Brown’s Beer, Glacier45 Distillery and Copper Belt Wines — Oregon’s only winery in the Snake River AVA. Peterson’s Gallery and Chocolatier, Sweet Wife Baking and The Lone Pine Cafe offer some of the best scratchmade items around. Sample all these local flavors and more during the annual Taste of Baker City, named Oregon’s best Main Street event in 2019.

Just north of Downtown Baker City, the Union County Farm Loop takes visitors along 55 miles of farms, markets, museums and dairies for a tasty hands-on tour.

Painted Hills

Hotel Prairie 14 6 T R AV ELO R EG O N .CO M

The dramatic sunset hues of the Painted Hills, a unit of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, can steal the show, but they are often upstaged by a visit to the Thomas Condon Paleontology Center, with one of the largest fossil records in the world, stretching back 55 million years. The green claystone hues of the adjacent Sheep Rock unit aren’t too shabby either. Hiking trails in the Clarno unit provide close-ups of plant fossils, petrified logs and soaring palisades. Continue an exploration of ancient landscapes in nearby and aptly named Fossil, where the Oregon Paleo Lands Institute has day hikes and exhibits illustrating geological history, as well as an open fossil dig at the Wheeler High School Fossil Beds. To the west, the captivating John Day River — the third-longest free-flowing river in the contiguous United States — winds its way north all the way to the Columbia River.

Painted Hills and John Day River

Oregon’s easternmost outpost of Ontario feels like it’s the end of the line, but it’s actually the gateway to a world of hidden wonders. Fuel up at a downtown cafe on small-batchroasted java, savory sandwiches and fresh-baked treats. From here, drive south to find Lake Owyhee State Park. The picturesque lake, nestled into a basalt canyon, is a tranquil spot for camping and fishing. At the southeastern end of the lake, trailheads lead experienced hikers to untracked trails like 28.7-mile/46.2-kilometer Succor Creek/Leslie Gulch and 3.3-mile/5.3-kilometer Juniper Gulch — offering solitude and epic views of the Jordan Valley. To experience a world of rare beauty, book a multiday trip to raft the Middle Fork of the Owyhee River. This river route reveals one of the most remote areas in the contiguous United States amid the sheer walls of a wilderness canyon teeming with wildlife.

Steens Mountain and the Alvord Desert

Wild Southeast Beauty Rising almost 10,000 feet/3,048 meters above the sagebrush landscape, Steens Mountain — the largest fault block in North America — rewards explorers. Hike the 13.2-mile/21.2-kilometer Big Indian Gorge for otherworldly views of the buttes, canyons and wildflower meadows. A drive along the Steens Loop Tour Route offers epic views of the desert floor on the highest road in Oregon.

From the Kiger Gorge Overlook, peer down into the half-mile/0.8-kilometer-deep chasm and try to glimpse the wild mustangs that run free here. At nearby Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, listen for the distinctive call of the greater sandhill crane, which nests here, and look for the elaborate courtship dance among the sage grouse. Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge is home to American pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep, elk and other wild creatures. You’ll need more than one lifetime to explore the 750-mile/1,207-kilometer Oregon Desert Trail, which delves into the state’s most remote corners.

Blue Mountain Century Scenic Bikeway

Molten lava boiled through Northeastern Oregon to form the rugged landscape of the Columbia Plateau eons ago. It’s no surprise the extreme terrain inspires radical outdoor play. In Arlington windsurfers and kiteboarders surf the swell powered by big winds funneling through the Gorge, while paddleboarders and boaters launch from the marina at Earl Snell Memorial Park. Near the quaint farming community of Condon, gravel riders grind up Devils Butte with TREO Bike Tours. To the northwest, Cottonwood Canyon State Park is set against the grandeur of the John Day River.

Heppner marks the starting point of the Blue Mountain Century Scenic Bikeway, a 108-mile/174-kilometer epic that rewards experienced cyclists with awe-inspiring views of the Blue Mountains. Echo is the site of the annual Red 2 Red cross-country mountain bike race — a challenging romp through rolling hillsides in late winter. Find visitor-friendly farms, gardens, cafes and attractions along the 60-mile River to Hills Farm Loop Tour linking these towns.

WILDHORSE RESORT & CASINO

CELEBRATES 25 YEARS

If you drive east on I-84 to the Blue Mountains, you’ll come across an unexpected treasure. As you enter the Umatilla Indian Reservation just outside of Pendleton, you’ll discover — among the golden wheat fields — a towering beacon that stands quietly against a scenic backdrop.

Owned by the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, Wildhorse Resort & Casino occupies a 640-acre development on tribal homeland.

Exploring the resort, you’ll find a championship golf course, a world-class museum and an RV park and campground, along with a variety of places to eat.

And then there’s the main attraction — a 10-story hotel along with a full-service casino, convention center and cineplex. Upon entering the casino, the pace picks up considerably and you suddenly feel you’re in a different world. The excitement builds and you instantly want to play a hand, roll some dice or go for the jackpot on a slot machine.

With a buffet, a fine-dining restaurant and more

options, visitors have plenty to choose from. An arcade and children’s center will keep young hands busy.

Conference and meeting spaces provide locations for business activities.

As if all that wasn’t enough, a new family Funplex opens fall 2020. The structure being added to the existing facility will feature a 24-lane bowling alley, snack and beverage bar, private party rooms, a new arcade and a food court with seating.

This year, Wildhorse Resort & Casino celebrates its 25th anniversary. Go to wildhorseresort.com to find events happening throughout the year.

Wildhorse Resort & Casino is a gem in Eastern Oregon with the amenities of the city, and it’s just down the road from wherever you are.
