A Local’s Guide to the Oregon Dunes

To see where the dunes came from, just look inland: they’re essentially ground-up pieces of the Oregon Coast Range, worn away by time and weather and washed downstream to the ocean. Tides, currents, waves and wind pushed the resulting sand back inland. Since this part of Oregon’s coastline is a gentle slope instead of the usual steep headlands, the sand spread inland as far as 2.5 miles. Over millions of years, it piled up to 500 feet above sea level in places, interspersed with marshes,... More

Sounds of Summer at Les Schwab Amphitheater

For me, nothing screams “summertime” more than sitting under the sky listening to live music from some of my favorite artists. Even though it’s chilly and decidedly wintery outside right now, I recently started thinking about summer when the Les Schwab Amphitheater in Bend announced their first two concerts for 2016: Alabama Shakes and Ben Harper and… More

4 Ways to Find Wellness in Oregon

In my family, a good day of vacation includes a nourishing breakfast (with a strong cup of coffee), a long day of hiking or skiing, and then a well-earned meal at the local craft brewpub. Often, when we pull back into the driveway at the end of a road trip, we feel exuberant but not quite refreshed. More

A Trip Into “Wild Wild Country”

Curious travelers planning an adventure to this wild pocket of the Pacific Northwest should pack boots and cowboy hats — you’ll need both while exploring this arid side of the Cascades. The region is rich in history (hello, prehistoric fossil beds) and also offers incredible opportunities to soak up the high-desert sunshine, something that newcomers might not believe exists here in Oregon. Here are the top stops from my weekend road trip. More

Freshgrass 2019 Band Contest Winner, IBMA 2019 Momentum Vocalist of the Year, 2nd Place at the 2019 Winfield Guitar Competition, and numerous awards in Northern California illustrate the kind of recognition this bluegrass/americana band has been getting recently.

Are dogs allowed on Oregon Coast beaches?

In general, most of Oregon’s beaches allow dogs. Some beaches within local enforcement areas may require that dogs be leashed and there are a few beaches that do not allow dogs or require leashes to protect wildlife. Inter-tidal areas designated as Marine Gardens by the State of Oregon require that dogs be leashed and a few beaches do not allow dogs during the Snowy Plover nesting season March 15 to September 15. Generally speaking, off-leash dogs are tolerated on most beaches as long as under... More

Cool Places to Stay for Farm Getaways

Autumn is prime time for country escapes. As you travel back roads, you’ll pass colorful leaves turning mountain slopes golden and scarlet hues. You can taste crisp cider from heritage barns and pick buckets of apples for baking pies. Up pop the pumpkin patches and corn mazes, as well as the aroma of ripening pears. In wine country, the grape clusters hang heavy from the vines — plump and deeply purple — and the bustle of harvest fills the air and sparks the imagination. More

What are the best things to do in Medford?

Thanks for your question! You’re asking about my hometown, so I’m happy to help. Not knowing your exact interests or the time of year you’re visiting Medford, I’ll try to hit the broad strokes! The good news is, it’s a small city, so wherever you’re staying, you’ll be close to everything. If you’re a fan of getting outdoors, I recommend a day hike to Upper Table Rock just outside town, or, if you’re not afraid of heights, up the steeper Pilot Rock near Ashland. If... More
