July 19, 2019
We traded our trusty steeds in for a relaxed ride watching the scenery pass by while we happily let someone else do the driving. More

Go with the Float in Seaside

January 16, 2017
The Oregon Coast is well known for clam chowder, the giant pillars of Cannon Beach and the cult classic movie, The Goonies. But there’s oh so much more to discover about our beautiful coastline. From tasting at local breweries to guided paddle tours, I took advantage of the more “off-the-beaten-path” activities and I’m glad I get to share them with you. More

My Oregon: Brooke Weeber

August 4, 2016
It wasn't an easy task to narrow it down to just a few (heck, that's why I live here!), but I'll give it a shot. Last year for my birthday we went on a backpacking trip to the Wallowas in Eastern Oregon. I had previously only seen the Wallowas in the snow and looked forward to exploring the alpine lakes and towering granite peaks in the heat of summer. By far my favorite resting point of the whole weekend was at Glacier Lake. With stunning... More

Exploring Oregon’s Wonders: Portland to Mt. Hood

April 22, 2015
Spring is one of my favorite seasons in Oregon. The flowers are blooming in bright shades of pink, orange and yellow, the skies are full of moody, quick-moving clouds, and the weather is wholly unpredictable. It can turn any excursion around the state into a wild adventure, and my ramble around the greater Portland and Mt. Hood areas was of no exception. More

Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail: Part 4

December 5, 2014
There were so many moments on the trail where I’d wanted to give up. There were times that were miserable, challenging, boring. But thankfully I’d had enough foresight to know how disappointed and regretful I would have been if I’d given up. More

Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail: Part 3

November 21, 2014
The Jefferson Wilderness is just north of Santiam Pass, with a burn area that stretches for miles and has an eerie quality to it. The stark white trees stand tall and sterile against the sky, bright green and yellow vegetation growing abundantly from the earth as the forest slowly grows again, returning to its natural state.

Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail: Part 2

November 13, 2014
Reaching “civilization” for the first time on the trail feels somewhat like what I imagine winning the lottery must feel like. More

Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail: Part 1

November 1, 2014
“What brought you out here?” It’s a common question you hear from other hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail and one for which I could never muster up an adequate response. No matter how often I turned that question around in my mind, the most I could come up with was: “I really enjoy hiking and I wanted to take it to the next level.” And that’s exactly what I did. And then some. More
