Travel Oregon

In Southern Oregon, history runs as deep as the forested canyons where we hit pay dirt with a special getaway into Oregon’s gold mining region. This week, we visit the oldest operating hotel in the state in a region marked by “Forgotten Dreams and Hidden Treasures” at an Oregon State Park that makes you feel right at home called the Wolf Creek Inn.

On a clear day – even from a distance – Saddle Mountain steals the scene across the Oregon coast range: a distinct landmark that’s hard to deny! It is even harder for hikers to resist on an Oregon State Park Trail that will steal your heart.

You can escape the hustle and bustle of city life on a gas tank getaway to the quiet side of the Oregon cascades. This week, we visit the soft sides of an iron giant along the Over the River and Through the Woods Scenic Byway near Sweet Home, Oregon.

The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area covers forty-two miles from Florence to Coos Bay and it is an Oregon landmark for outdoor recreation. People come from all over to experience 32,000 acres of sand, forest, rivers and lakes.

Oregon offers so many reasons to go on the road where the asphalt unwinds the state’s scenic secrets. As summer approaches, so does the time to travel into the Cascade Mountain foothills on a getaway that offers a camping, fishing and a backcountry byway at Green Peter Lake.
