The Ultimate Guide to Vernonia, Oregon

As promised... I've compiled a summer's worth of adventuring and exploring into your guide to getting lost in the woods, just an hour west of Portland.

If you've always dreamt of climbing across an old railroad trestle, but you're afraid of either getting arrested for trespassing or falling through rotten wood, this is your time to shine.

Did you just watch Twin Peaks (RIP David Lynch) and wish you could visit a quaint, logging town amongst the trees? Do you live in Portland, but wish you could escape the city for a while?

Then this is the guide for you. Vernonia is a true hidden gem in the greater Portland area, and I have loved exploring it. I hope you enjoy hearing about my travels - compiling this felt like writing a love letter to one of my favorite places.

Read my guide to find out:

• where in Oregon Green Day filmed a music video in 2016

• what hotel has a secret room, a spa, and a movie theater

• where you can legally and safely walk across an 85-foot tall railroad trestle ( kind of spoiled this already)

• what local disc golf course is entrenched in a diabolical murder plot over the family inheritance

• and more...

Download the full guide below! And please let me know what you'd like to see in the future, I am more than happy to help you. If you do go to Vernonia, let me know what you think! It is my true joy to inspire you all to explore <3
