Off-the-Beaten-Path Road Trips on Oregon’s State Scenic Corridors

State Scenic Corridors like Boardman are truly special stretches, and you can find them throughout the state. They differ a bit from the state’s 29 designated Scenic Byways and Tour Routes in that the corridors often include a measure of conservation and/or recreation along with designation, and they tend to be routes with some distinct ecological area or element to protect.

Oregon’s Edible Seaweed Revolution

Alanna Kieffer dips a mesh net into a bubbling, open-air tank and scoops up a tangle of dulse, a reddish-brown seaweed that’s unexpectedly feathery and frilly — and definitely pretty enough to eat. At the center of the voluminous tank, a bubbler aerates the water and circulates the seaweed, ensuring each plant gets enough sunlight. The swirling fronds pop up and down in the water like an aquatic art installation. Out in the wild, this seaweed grows in flatter, deep-red leaves on wave-beaten intertidal rocks,... More
