Hiker’s Guide to the North Coast

Sponsored
October 30, 2017
Headed to the North Coast this winter? Take a hike. The air is crisp, the old-growth forests are lush and green, and there’s no better way to brighten up to a bit of sun and blue sky peeking out. After your hike, it’s tradition to reward yourself with a scone and warm beverage at a favorite spot in town. So lace up those boots and get outside.

An Ode to the Tides

Sponsored
September 19, 2017
Spend a day on Oregon’s North Coast and you’ll see the beach shrink and grow at least once.

Oregon Gravel Riding: Get Off Your Asphalt

August 28, 2017
If cycling through Oregon isn’t already considered an extreme sport, riding its gravel roads should be. With the Oregon Coast Gravel Epic gaining popularity each year, many of us are curious why anyone in their right mind would want to engage in a sport called an “abomination” by even its most avid proponents.

August 20, 2015
In Southeastern Oregon, far from the state’s signature moss-dripped forests, lies one of the most remote stretches of the American West. Only three paved roads cut across the Owyhee Canyonlands, a region of undulant sagebrush hills, rivers and canyons that is larger than Yellowstone National Park.

South Willamette Valley Wineries

Considering that the Willamette Valley American Viticultural Area (AVA) has more than 670 wineries and 10 sub-AVAs within its borders, it might take a lifetime to visit all the tasting rooms and vineyards in this rich region. Many of the most dedicated oenophiles stick to the wondrous wine roads of the north — Highway 47 (aka Sip… More

Ride the McKenzie River Trail

February 28, 2013
The only major controversy surrounding the McKenzie River Trail (MRT) is whether it is the best mountain bike trail in Oregon or the whole country. When I worked in a bike shop years ago, I pitched it to customers as the state’s top trail, though my powers of description were less than scintillating. “What makes… More
