times reaching 30 C (85 F) in the Portland area and 32 C (90 F) in Medford. Spring and fall are gentle transitions between extremes.

The Cascades and Northeast Mountains: High elevations in the Cascade, Blue and Wallowa mountains are where dramatic weather, including winter blizzard conditions, may occur. Temperatures range from -6–3 C (20s and 30s F) during the day to -9 C (the teens) at night. Spring weather brings highs 5–13 C (40s and 50s F). Summer days reach 16–30 C (60s to 80s F).

The Columbia River Gorge: Temperatures vary from 1–5 C (the 30s to 40s F) in the winter to 30 C (80s F) in the summer. The strong winds, which are outstanding for windsurfi ng in summer, can be dangerously chilling in winter.

The High Desert: Central and Eastern Oregon enjoy the driest weather in the state with the widest range of temperatures. Winter highs average 1–5 C (30s and 40s F); summer highs reach 30–36 C (mid-80s and 90s F). A few inches of snow on the ground is not un-common in winter, but it doesn’t last long.

GET BACK TO NATURE WITH A HIKEA hiker’s paradise, Oregon has hundreds of trails to choose from. Table Rocks—two enormous sandstone-basalt mesas with flat lava caps—are just 16 km (10 miles) northeast of Medford and offer incredible views of the surround-ing valley, the Rogue River and Siskiyou Mountains (blm.gov/or/resources/recreation/tablerock). Silver Falls State Park, Oregon’s largest state park, sits in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains 42 km (26 miles) east of Salem. Beautiful deciduous trees mix in with conifers to provide a spectrum of fall color. Follow the Trail of Ten Falls for an 11-km (7-mile) route with views of 10 different waterfalls (OregonStateParks.org/park_211.php). The moderate 9-km (5.5-mile) Tillamook Head Hike spans the area from Tillamook Head Trailhead south of Seaside to Indian Beach Trailhead just north of Cannon Beach. Along the trail are stretches of old-growth forest and scenic viewpoints overlooking the Pacific (SeasideNaturally.com). The 13-km (8-mile) Upper Deschutes River Trail near Bend follows the Deschutes River, passing Lava Island Falls, Aspen Camp and Dillon Falls before ending at Benham Falls. Go white-water rafting during the summer months (VisitCentralOregon.com). Bonus: Fall color enthusiasts can visit the Fall Foliage blog at OregonFallFoliage.com for daily updates on fall colors around Oregon in September and October. For hundreds more hiking trails, please visit TravelOregon.com.

BIRD WATCHINGOregon is home to nearly 500 bird species, and when fall and spring migrations hit, thousands of birds come to rest under the Pacific Flyway. At the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns, thousands of migrating birds stop to feed on the 75,676 hectares (187,000 acres) of wetlands and meadows (fws.gov/malheur). The 293-hectare (725-acre) Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve in Hillsboro is open year-round and is home to numerous species (JacksonBottom.org). Along the 1,609-km (1,000-mile) Oregon Cascades Birding Trail in the Cascade Moun-tains, visitors can see bald eagles, great horned owls, dark-eyed juncos and other birds from nearly 200 designated bird-watching sites (OregonBirdingTrails.org/cascades.htm). The Oregon Coast Birding Trail includes 173 viewing sites from which to see some of 450 species in the region (OregonCoastBirding.com). More than 70 percent of the state’s bird population can be seen along the Willamette Valley Birding Trail, which includes more than a dozen different loops (WillametteBirding.org). The Klamath Basin Birding Trail, rich with diverse habitats, attracts birds year round. From November to February, more than 500 bald eagles winter near Bear Valley Roost (KlamathBirdingTrails.com).

WHALE WATCHINGSome 200 gray whales call the Oregon Coast home from July through November. However, the odds of see-ing one of these majestic mammals increase in December and March when some 19,000 plus migrate between Alaska and Mexico. For two weeks (usually late December and late March) each year, Oregon State Parks sets up 26 whale-watching spots along the coast (WhaleSpoken.org).

MOUNTAIN BIKING Combine thousands of hectares of national forest, dozens of mountain peaks and a mild year-round climate, and you’ve got a recipe for epic off-road riding. The Euphoria Ridge Trail, a challenging 16-km (10-mile) ride near Coos Bay, includes steep inclines on dirt and gravel roads and technical declines—some of the best downhill around—through dense old-growth forests. Just 15 minutes from downtown Grants Pass is the Cathedral Hills Trail System, a mountain biking haven with numerous loop trails and natural areas among 162 hectares (400 acres) of Douglas fir and Ponderosa pine forest. Great signage and a variety of routes make it suitable for all ages and abilities (www.rveta.org/assets/PDF/Cathedral_Hills_Trail_System.pdf). The Sandy River Trail—one of the state’s newest trails, located just west of Mt. Hood—offers more than 24 km (15 miles) of singletrack to explore. The high-desert area surrounding Bend has hundreds of kilometers of trails running along rivers and lakes with stunning views of the Cascade Mountains (VisitCentralOregon.com). Oakridge has become a year-round destination for dirt lovers of all abilities. Riders converge twice each summer for Mt. Bike Oregon, a three-day cel-ebration of riding (MtBikeOregon.com). For more mountain bike trails, visit RideOregonRide.com.

CYCLING Diverse terrain and scenery make Oregon a Mecca for cycling. The ultimate two-wheeled touring experience is Cycle Oregon, a week-long supported ride along National Scenic Byways throughout rural Oregon (CycleOregon.com), but day riders can choose from a sampling of great rides. The 19-km (12-mile) Mosier Twin Tunnels ride between Hood River and Mosier explores the curves and spectacular views of the Historic Columbia River Highway along a stretch of road open only to hikers and cyclists. Choose one of many day rides along the Oregon Coast Bike Route, which runs for 584 km (363 miles) mostly along beautiful Hwy. 101. The McKenzie Pass Ride, a 48-km (30-mile) challenge, climbs out of the town of Sisters, past jagged lava flows to the top of McKenzie Pass and panoramic views of the Cascade Mountains. The relatively flat 129-km (80-mile) Grande Ronde Valley Tour Route starts and ends in La Grande, wind-ing through low-traffic roads past mountains, farms, rivers and rugged range-lands. Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway travels 209 km (130 miles) through Oregon’s diverse agricultural region from Champoeg to Eugene. Bikers can stop at gourmet restaurants, picturesque wineries and quaint towns. Banks-Vernonia State Trail, a 34-km (21-mile) multiuse trail just west of Portland, has postcard-worthy views throughout (OregonStateParks.org/park_145.php).

OREGON’S FOOD SCENEOregon’s culinary scene is one of the most excit-ing and vibrant in the U.S. And it’s all about raw materials. Thanks to a myriad of landscapes, Oregon produces a huge variety of high-quality wild and cultivated foods that visitors can enjoy at restaurants, in open-air markets, or fresh on the farm. The waters of the Pacific Ocean and the state’s many rivers bring Oregon’s fresh-caught wild salmon, steelhead and sturgeon to table. Oregon Dungeness crab is not only delicious, it’s the only certified as sustainable Dungeness crab in the world. A growing number of Oregon ranchers are bringing free-range beef to the market. The summer season brings sweet wild huckleberries, which flourish in sunny mountain meadows. Morels, chanterelles, lobster and porcini mush-rooms—and the distinctive Oregon black truffles—are harvested seasonally. The orchard-lined roads of the Columbia River Gorge offer breathtaking views of fruit trees in flower during the annual Hood River Valley Blossom Festival in April. Sweet summer cherries are picked under the shadow of Mt. Hood, and visitors enjoy farm fresh fruit from quaint roadside stands all summer long on the Hood River Valley Fruit Loop. The unique hazelnut (Oregon’s official state nut) is often included in gourmet fare, along with Oregon’s flavorful chestnut. For more information about Oregon’s unique gastronomical delights, please visit TravelOregon.com/Bounty.

CHEESE, CHOCOLATE AND SPIRITS Passionate people and delicious ingredients make for some delectable Oregon-made goods, from goat cheese to gourmet toffee. Oregon has more than a dozen cheesemakers, from the iconic Tillamook Cheese Factory to the smaller, award-winning Rogue Creamery in Southern Oregon and Tumalo Farms in Central Oregon. Visit the Oregon Cheese Guild website (OregonCheeseGuild.org) for information about visiting these artisan cheesemakers. In March, more than two dozen chocolatiers show off their beautifully designed, decadent chocolates at the Oregon Chocolate Festival in Ashland (AshlandSpringsHotel.com). Oregon is a leader in the U.S. when it comes to small-batch distilleries, with artisans turning out well-crafted spirits, including organic vodka, pure fruit eaux de vie and others. Ask for brands like House Spirits, New Deal, Bendistillery, Brandy Peak Distillery, Stein and Cascade Peak Spirits at Oregon bars and restaurants. For a complete list of Oregon creameries, chocolatiers and distilleries, go to TravelOregon.com/Bounty.

CRAFT BEER ON TAPAt last count, Oregon was home to an impressive 120 breweries. Some craft breweries produce hundreds of barrels each year, while others brew thousands. Why Oregon? We have the perfect ingredients—hardy hops and barley—in our own backyard. Add some creative energy, and the result is uniquely flavored suds flow-ing out of local taps. With a bevy of restaurants serving Oregon beer, and dozens of local brewpubs (Bridgeport, Deschutes, McMenamins, Rogue, Full Sail and Ninkasi are some of the better known), it won’t be hard to find your favorite Oregon craft beer (OregonBeer.org). July—Oregon Craft Beer Month—culminates with the Annual Oregon Brewers Festival in Portland, and the Oregon Bounty Fresh Hop Beer Tastivals in October offer the chance to sample fresh hops beers from local breweries (OregonCraftBeerMonth.com, OregonBrewFest.com).

In four short decades, Oregon’s modern wine industry has gone from fledgling to world-renowned. In 2010, Oregon had 419 wineries, a dramatic increase from the 1960s when a few wine pioneers migrated here. Award-winning Pinot noirs have since put Oregon on the global wine map, and the diverse geoclimate of the state—which boasts 16 approved winegrowing regions, or appellations—enables both warm- and cool-weather varietals to thrive: Pinot noir, Pinot gris, Chardonnay, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Riesling are among the 72 grape varieties planted in Oregon. Despite the

growing accolades, Oregon’s close-knit winemaking community offers friendly tasting rooms in which to sample the results of a dedication to crafting small-batch artisan wines. The Willamette Valley, which stretches from Forest Grove to Cottage Grove, has the largest concentration of vineyards and wineries in Oregon. At last count, there were more than 300 wineries and 106 tasting rooms in the area. Wet, cool winters and warm, dry summers make this an ideal climate for Pinot noir and other cool-climate grapes, including Pinot gris, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Seven appellations are cradled within

OREGON’S WINE REGIONS town of Hood River—a delightful combo of artsy and outdoorsy. The region’s climate varies widely from the eastern high desert to the wetter west, which allows for a range of vari-etals, including Chardonnay, Pinot noir, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Just across the river in Washington State (and with a small section in Oregon) the Columbia Valley appel-lation delivers a range of fine wines. In these two regions, visitors will find 39 wineries and 42 vineyards. East of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, the Eastern Oregon wine region commands hot, arid landscapes and bright blue skies. Out here the Walla Walla Valley and Snake River Valley appel-lations produce grapes for Riesling, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Merlot and Syrah, often used to produce delicious wines at nearby Washington and Idaho wineries.

Southern Oregon, with five appel-lations and 65 wineries, is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Grapes flourish under the craggy peaks of the Cascade Range, fed by the rushing waters of the Umpqua and Rogue rivers. Here a winemaker or family member is often in the tasting room uncorking bottles and sharing stories and special wines. Near Mt.

NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUMS Oregon’s natural history museums bring the beauty and mystery of nature to life within a place that anyone can visit year round. Set on forested acreage, Bend’s High Desert Museum uses indoor and outdoor exhibits, living history and wildlife to interpret the cultures and natural resources of this scenic region (HighDesertMuseum.org). The exhib-its at the Columbia River Maritime Museum in Astoria combine history, artifacts and technology to preserve the maritime heritage of the Columbia River region, with the river itself as a living backdrop (crmm.org). Once the site of devastating forest fires, today the Tillamook State Forest is home to Tillamook Forest Center—the region’s largest forest-based learning center and outdoor classroom facility (TillamookForestCenter.org). Tucked into a forested grove in rural Hillsboro, is the Rice NW Museum of Rocks and Minerals, which Smithsonian magazine calls “one of the finest rock and mineral museums in the U.S.” On display is the world’s largest thunder egg (RiceNorthwestMuseum.org). Take a journey into ancient Oregon at John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, where the Thomas Condon Paleontology Center, trails and ranger-led activities uncover 50 million years in the Age of Mammals (www.nps.gov/joda). At the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center in The Dalles, interactive displays interpret volcanic upheavals, floods, ice ages, unique and spectacular vegetation, wildlife, and ancient and contempo-rary lives (GorgeDiscovery.org).

OREGON’S LIVING WESTHorses, horsemanship and rodeo are a longstanding part of the traditional Western way of life. You’ll get a taste of the Old West at Oregon’s many rodeos, dude ranches and small agricultural communities. In the quaint town of Joseph, Chief Joseph Days attracts major rodeo contenders, bullfighters, clowns and specialty acts each July (ChiefJosephDays.com). Each September brings the famous Pendleton Round-Up, which recently celebrated its centennial; it includes bronc riding, horse races, Indian feasts, live music, fireworks and more (PendletonRoundUp.com). Also known as “The Biggest Little Show in the World,” the Sisters Rodeo is an all-volunteer event offering a purse worth more than $100,000 that draws huge crowds each June (SistersRodeo.com). For a relaxing getaway on a working cattle and buffalo ranch, try Aspen Ridge Resort set on the historic Fishhole Creek Ranch in the mountains of south-central Oregon (AspenRR.com). A working cattle operation as well as a bed-and-breakfast in the south-central region, Willow Springs Guest Ranch offers comfortable cabin rooms, campfire cuisine and a slow-paced lifestyle (WillowSpringsGuestRanch.com). Long Hollow Ranch, an authentic working cattle ranch near Sisters, offers cowpokes the chance to hike, fish, play horseshoes or work with ranch hands (LHranch.com). Dedicated to the belief that true horsemanship is an art form between the horse and its human, T&T Horsemanship in Haines offers clinics, retreats and classes (TNTHorsemanship.com). Horseback riding, cattle drives, calving, hiking and mountain biking are just some of the activities you’ll enjoy at Wilson Ranches Retreat—a working cattle and hay ranch near Fossil whose guest rooms have a decidedly Western theme (WilsonRanchesRetreat.com).

OREGON TRAILBeginning in 1842, tens of thousands of pioneers walked 3,200 km (2,000 miles) from Missouri to Oregon along the Oregon Trail in search of a better life. Today you can trace the pioneers’ foot-prints from Ontario to Oregon City. Set on a towering bluff near Baker City, the National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center is the place to pan for gold, walk in pioneer wagon tracks, and learn about everyday life on the

Oregon Trail (www.blm.gov/or/oregontrail). History abounds in the beautiful Columbia Gorge Discovery Center in The Dalles. Children (of all ages) can discover what life was like on the trail, right down to trying on replica pioneer clothes (GorgeDiscovery.org).

AMERICAN INDIAN HERITAGEWhile European settlement in Oregon is less than two centuries old, American Indians have inhabited the region for thousands of years. Historically, close to 50 tribes lived within the current-day Oregon boundaries. Many of them still have thriving cultures today. You can learn more about Oregon’s native residents, past and present, at the state’s interpretive centers and museums. At the Tamástslikt Cultural Institute (Tamastslikt.org) in Pendleton, you’ll be introduced to the Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla Indian tribes. This small group of people has a big story to tell—one of 10,000 years of enduring culture. Exhibits and events at Tamástslikt (which means “interpret” in the Walla Walla native language) showcase traditional song, dance, art, language, clothing, religion and food created by these tribes. The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs shares their cultural and artistic heritage at The Museum at Warm Springs (MuseumAtWarmSprings.org). This museum is home to one of the most exquisite collections of Plateau Native American artifacts in the country, along with live arts, history and culture demonstrations by tribal members.

Oregon’s fascinating museums and historic sites bring the state’s past to life. Fort Clatsop, at the Lewis and Clark National Historic Park, is a replica of a winter encampment built by the region’s most famous explorers from the East—Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. The park has an inter-pretive center, ranger-led programs

and more (nps.gov/lewi). Timberline Lodge, located at 1,800 meters (6,000 feet) on Mt. Hood, was built dur-ing the 1930s WPA program. This National Historic Landmark offers accommodations, dining and tours (TimberlineLodge.com). Built in 1876 as a trading post in John Day, Kam Wah Chung Museum was the social,

medical and religious center for the Chinese community in Eastern Oregon. Guided tours are offered May 1 to Oct. 31 (OregonStateParks.org/park_8.php). Portland’s Oregon Historical Society preserves and interprets Oregon’s past through impressive exhibits and online dis-plays (ohs.org).
