Kati Explores

See the rare Western Larch, just 2.5 hours from Portland! These unique conifers turn golden yellow every fall - check out the Metolius Preserve to see for yourself!

Shaniko is Oregon's oldest living ghost town! Visit its 30 (living) residents, just 3 hours south of Portland, for old west saloons, a probably haunted hotel, and the best of Oregon's sagebrush desert views.

Westfir, Oregon is a tiny town south of Eugene with lots to explore - fishing, lakes, hot springs, biking trails, covered bridges, and elk!
