Editor’s Note: We recently unveiled Ask Oregon, a program that allows travelers to ask “Oregon Experts” about traveling throughout the state. We’d like to introduce you to our experts and will be featuring them periodically here on the Travel Oregon Blog. This week, we’d like to introduce you to our Eastern Oregon Ambassador, Lynne Curry!

What’s your favorite thing about living in Oregon?
Its bounty—not only food, but all the access to water and mountains in every corner of the state.

What’s your favorite way to enjoy Oregon?

Road trips—short or long—that lead to another great trailhead and campsite.

What’s the one tip you always give to visitors?
Travel slow because there’s more than meets the eye anywhere you go in Oregon, and the people you’ll meet along the way are some of the real treasures.

Describe your perfect Oregon Vacation…
There are really too many to mention, but a family biking trip to the Malheur Wildlife Sanctuary that incorporates views of Steens Mountain and the Alvord Desert is excellent for spring or fall travel.
