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!

My roadtrip honeymoon diary!

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.

Bagby Hot Springs is open after a 4 year closure! Enjoy soaking in a rustic whiskey barrel tub in a log cabin, under 2 hours from Portland!

Running AND wine, in Oregon's beautiful Willamette Valley? Sounds like a perfect day. Read up on these four parks and hit the trail!

Oregon's "other" National Park that you've probably never heard of - log cabin forts, WWII bunkers, hiking trails, and more!
