Embark on a new adventure through the Willamette Valley and the Oregon Coast. On the coast is an area encompassing Bandon to the south and Lincoln City to the north. Inland, the lush

Willamette Valley is dominated by the State Capital of Salem to the north, and Eugene, Springfi eld and Roseburg to the south. Farther east are the Willamette and Umpqua National Forests.

Visitors come to these areas of Oregon for a variety of reasons: to enjoy a scenic wilderness area, to relax at a luxurious resort or to view abundant wildlife. Whatever the reason, this area of varied natural beauty is sure to impress. The counties that make up the region are as diverse as the great State of Oregon. Between the mountains of the Coast Range and the much higher Cascade Range, lie verdant valleys with some of the world’s most productive agricultural land, giant, old-growth forests and miles of volcanic wasteland. The opportunities for fun and adventure in this area are as varied as the terrain. In fact, this magazine offers 101 Things To Do just in these locales.

Two north-south traffi c corridors connect the region. Inland, I-5 bisects the fertile valleys of the Umpqua and Willamette rivers. On the coast, Hwy 101 skirts the edge of the continent between the Coast Range and the Pacifi c Ocean, offering visitors spectacular views of rocky coastline, lighthouses and crashing surf.

In Lincoln County you can enjoy whale watching or go deep-sea fi shing. Visit Newport’s historic Nye Beach, tour the lighthouse, or walk the Bayfront. Along Hwy 101, the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area (see map on the left) spans three counties. Beginning near North Bend and extending more than 40 miles north to Florence, this area of gigantic sand dunes extends as far as three miles inland in some places. A series of inland freshwater lakes, created when the dunes dammed up small streams, provide excellent places to fi sh, sail or swim. There are national, state, county and private campgrounds throughout. The sand dunes eventually give way to one of the world’s largest forest products ports, the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay. The three towns around the bay—Coos Bay, North Bend and Charleston—make up the largest urban area on the coast known as Oregon’s Bay Area. A combination of beaches, rivers and sloughs provide nature lovers with a variety of recreation possibilities.

At Bandon, the southwestern-most town in Coos County, magnifi cent sea stacks stand just off-shore along miles of sandy beaches. The Historic Old Town invites strolling and has a good variety of shops, galleries and restaurants. Inland in Lane County lie the cities of Eugene and Springfi eld, part of the fertile Willamette Valley and Oregon’s third largest population center, after Portland and Salem. East from I-5 in Springfi eld, State Hwy 126, known as the McKenzie River Highway, leads to McKenzie Pass in the Cascades. Highway 58 east from Eugene is the route to Willamette Pass, which offers hiking, white-water rafting, kayaking, fi shing and spectacular natural beauty. Roseburg is 67 miles south of Eugene, in the heart of Douglas County. East on Hwy 138 is the fascinating Colliding Rivers Viewpoint, where the waters of the North Umpqua River collide with those of the Little River. Diamond Lake and the summit of the Oregon Cascades are 79 miles away, and Crater Lake National

Park is just 20 miles farther. Wineries throughout western Oregon are open for tours and tastings; discover local appellations. Outdoor adventurers will fi nd abundant hiking, biking, camping, skiing, snowmobiling and snowboarding in western Oregon, and there are ample opportunities for hunters, anglers, and explorers. Discover beautiful scenery and bustling cities as you explore western Oregon.

Break out your board, bike or skates and challenge yourself at one of Oregon’s many skateparks. Work on your technique on Oregon’s rails, pipes, ramps, stairs and skate your way through snake runs, pools, bowls, and slaloms. Though most parks are outdoors, some offer indoor or covered areas to protect skaters from the Pacific Northwest’s rainy winter weather. While you might expect skate-parks only in urban centers like Eugene and Portland, they can also be found in surprisingly small com-munities, and most towns along your route will probably boast a local skating hotspot of their own.

Take in the Beauty of Handmade Quilts 2

Bring your camera! You won’t want to miss this opportunity to take some beautiful shots of some of the most majestic and interesting animals in Oregon. Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area, about 3 miles east of Reedsport on Highway 38, is an important part of the state’s elk management program. The viewing area provides plenty of opportunities to enjoy photographing and observing these beautiful animals. The herd of 60 to 100 Roosevelt elk roams freely in the protected pasture, woodland and wetland areas which are provided by the Bureau of Land Management and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife with public viewing and education in mind. The viewing area has a large parking lot as well as restroom facilities and handicap access. www.blm.gov/or/resources/recreation/site_info.php?siteid=31

There are many opportunities for finding quilts or quilting supplies throughout western Oregon. If quilting is your thing, or if you just enjoy the beauty of a handmade quilt, be sure to visit the Bi-Annual People’s Choice Quilt Show in August, hosted by the Rhododendron Quilt Guild of Florence. The event takes place at the Florence Events Center and features quilters, food, vendors and a gift boutique. The event holds a raffle to help local charities. You can enter to win a beautiful quilt. Oregon coast quilt shops also host an annual “quilt shop hop” - the “Quilt Run 101” in February. Quilters receive a passport and visit all 14 shops from Astoria to Brookings every year for a chance to win prizes or just to enjoy the Oregon coast. This annual event entices quilters from all over the United States. For more information about these events, contact Wenz-Daze Quilters Emporium at (541) 997-3293, see ad on page 49.

Cross a Covered Bridge 4Nothing quite compares to the rustic charm of a covered

bridge, and coming upon one of Oregon’s beautiful covered bridges is like walking into a bucolic watercolor painting. Beginning in the mid-1850s, close to 450 covered bridges were built in Oregon; today 51 of those remain, giving Oregon the most covered bridges west of the Mississippi River. Covered bridges can be found in abundance in western Oregon, and in a variety of architectural structures, from converted railway cars to classic pioneer construction. Maps of covered bridge locations are often available from local chambers of commerce, and covered bridge books, calendars and postcards are typically available in local bookstores. For a visual guide to

some bridge locations, see our county map on page 4.The Oregon Covered Bridge Festival, is the only event of its kind on the West Coast; it gives

residents and visitors alike a chance to enjoy these beautiful bridges and learn about their heritage. For more information on the festival, call the Covered Bridge Society of Oregon at (541) 752-8269, or to chat with a covered bridge historian, call (503) 399-0436.

Vineyards and winemaking have been a part of Oregon’s history since the days of the early pioneers in the 1840s, when precious starts were carefully brought overland on the perilous journey to the “Oregon Country.” It was just over 40 years ago that Oregon’s modern wine industry and commercial wine production got its start, when Richard Sommer established Hill Crest Vineyards near Roseburg. Sommer, like most of Oregon’s modern era wine producers and winemakers, was a refugee from the University of California at Davis, who defied conventional wisdom and planted Vitis vinifera grapes in cool viticulture sites. He and like-minded modern pioneers were convinced that Burgundian varieties could be grown better in Oregon than in California.

When you visit Western Oregon’s Wine Country, you’ll soon discover that its winemakers consider themselves stewards of the land. For many, sustainability is both a priority and a lifestyle. Indeed, a surprisingly large percentage of the vineyards are certified as sustainable, organic or biodynamic.

Western Oregon encompasses parts of two of Oregon’s most prominent regions—the Willamette Valley and Umpqua Valley appellations.

Willamette Valley AppellationThis is the coolest of Oregon’s wine

regions. It is bordered in the north by the Columbia River, to the south by the Cala-pooya Mountains south of Eugene, to the east by the Cascade Mountain foothills, and to the west by the Coast Range. Most of the wine grapes grown in the Willamette Valley come from vineyards located on bench-lands on the western side of the valley. However, there are a few vineyards and wineries to the northeast of Salem in the eastern Willamette Valley.

The valley’s climate is particularly well suited for the early-ripening Pinot Noir grape, but it also produces large amounts of Pinot Gris, Riesling and Chardonnay, as well as smaller amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Gewürztraminer, Müller-Thurgau, Sémillon and Zinfandel.

Dozens of wineries, ranging from small boutique wineries to large corporations, are located in the southern Willamette Valley Appellation. Please see pages 28 - 29 for more information.

Umpqua Valley AppellationUmpqua Valley contains the drainage basin of the Umpqua River, and is warmer and drier than

its northern neighbor Willamette Valley. It is not a simple open basin, but a series of valleys and undulating hills, hence its unofficial name, “The Hundred Valleys of the Umpqua.”

The region surrounding Roseburg has a long history in the wine culture of Oregon. The resurgence of the wine industry in Oregon began at Hillcrest Winery in 1961 with Richard Sommer planting, among other varietals, Cabernet Sauvignon. This was the first premium winery in Oregon’s modern day wine industry, and earned Sommer the title of “the father of the Oregon wine industry.” Forty years ago the Umpqua Valley was the only area producing wine in Oregon. Now the region is expe-riencing a renaissance in winemaking and growth, and is a fine wine destination.

With its varied micro-climates, the Umpqua Valley is cool enough to produce high-quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, yet warm enough to grow Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. These micro-climates allow Umpqua Valley growers to experiment with new varietals, being the first in the U.S. to plant both Grüner Veltliner and Tempranillo grapes. Wine enthusiasts will find a wide selection of wines including, Viognier, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and even a few respectable Zinfandels. Currently the Umpqua Valley hosts a number of wineries that are family-owned. This allows the taster to experience a friendly “down home” feel on their winery visit. Most wineries do not exceed 5,000 cases and are only available locally or at the winery. Experience the Umpqua Valley and enjoy an unspoiled wine country. Please see #37 on page 37 for more information on Umpqua Valley wineries.


M cMinnville is located in the western portion of Oregon’s agriculturally rich Willamette Valley on Hwy 99. This quiet, friendly city enjoys a central location to Pacifi c Ocean

beaches (50 miles), to Portland (30 miles to the northeast), and the state capitol (Salem - 25 miles southeast), with an easy scenic drive to Mt. Hood and other local ski areas. The mild climate is ideal for growing wine grapes; McMinnville is surrounded by Yamhill County’s 200 plus vineyards and 90 wineries; more than in any other county in Oregon.

The McMinnville Downtown Historic District comprises 100 commercial buildings of archi-tectural and historical signifi cance. The revitalization efforts of the McMinnville Downtown Association have made the downtown area one of the most charming and vital in the state. Visitors can enjoy shopping, live theater and fi ne restaurants. A self-guided historic building walking tour is available at the Chamber Visitors Center. The McMinnville Farmers Market blossoms seasonally from June through October on Thursday from 1:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Cowls St., between 3rd and 2nd Sts.

McMinnville has several wonderful parks, and Oregon’s oldest county fair is also held here in early August. The Yamhill County Fair features old fashioned fair food, rides and exhibits, and is host to a 3-day NPRA Rodeo and top name entertainment.

Let Your Imagination Take Flight 7While in the McMinnville area, be sure

to visit the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum, which proudly displays a large number of military and civilian aircraft and spacecraft, including the famous Hughes H-4 Hercules “Spruce Goose.” The museum is located across the street from the headquarters of Evergreen Interna-tional Aviation, and Route 18 separates the museum from the company’s opera-tions and McMinnville Municipal Airport (KMMV). First envisioned by Capt. Michael King Smith, son of Evergreen International Aviation founder Delford Smith, the Ever-green Aviation and Space Museum is the realization of his dream. The museum first began with a small collection of vintage aircraft on display in a hangar located at the headquarters and was called the Evergreen Museum. There are now two main large exhibit centers open to the public, consisting of aviation, where the Spruce Goose acts to anchor the other exhibits, and space flight, in another new large building. The current center of the space flight exhibit building is occupied by the SR-71 ‘Blackbird,’ which originally rested under one wing of the Spruce Goose. An IMAX theater opened in 2007, and a second exhibit hall focusing on the Titan II ICBM and space technol-ogy opened in 2008. Flight simulators for landing the space shuttle, as well as for Gemini capsule docking and the Lunar Excursion Module moon landing, are available for use by visitors now. For more information, reservations and tickets, call (503) 434-4185.

Historic Downtown McMinnville Take some time to discover the collection of public art to be found throughout Historic Down-

town McMinnville. The Historic District has become enhanced by art pieces that are now part of the streetscape. Pick up your copy of the Public Art Walking Tour map at the McMinnville Downtown Association, located in the Cozine House at 105 NE Third St.

The rich history of McMinnville is reflected in its downtown historic district. Many beautiful homes are located in Historic Downtown McMinnville, such as the Cozine House, built by Samuel and Mahala Cozine, some of the original settlers of McMinnville. The Cozine House, constructed in the Queen Anne Victorian style, was built in 1892, and features a steep roof, double-hung windows, gin-gerbread siding and octagonal bays.

Visit the McMinnville Bank & Schilling Building. Constructed in 1885, the McMinnville Bank Building is a narrow, two-story Italianate brick structure covered in stucco. Several operations have occupied this building, including the McMinnville Business College, physicians' and surgeons' offices, as well as a meat market and a boot repair shop. Next door, the Schilling building, built prior to 1884 as a saloon, is possibly the oldest brick building on Third Street. The stucco and raised ornamented parapet was added by Schilling in 1905.

Don't miss the Fenton House, located at 434 N Evans Street. This house, along with the McMinnville Downtown Historic District, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places in Yamhill County. For more informa-tion about these beautiful homes, contact the McMinnville Downtown Association at (503) 472-3605 or visit them at 105 NE Third Street in down-town McMinnville.

McMinnville is Oregon's Favorite Main StreetDowntown McMinnville is the perfect place to unwind and savor the feeling of a quieter time,

on Oregon's Favorite Main Street. It has been the heartbeat of Yamhill County since before it was incorporated in 1876. The McMinnville of today is rich in history and small town charm, while pro-viding amenities typically only associated with much larger cities. Nestled in the heart of Oregon's wine country, you'll find bursts of color in cascading flower baskets in the summer, green skin and tin foil hats in May and glittering lights and festive displays during the holiday season; all welcoming you to community events such as McMinnville's summer Farmers' Market, UFO Festival, or the Holiday parade. Music fills the air from the farmers’ market performers and outdoor concerts all summer long, and pours out of restaurants and pubs on winter evenings.

In downtown McMinnville, you'll want to visit the wealth of wineries in the area and taste locally produced wines - see adja-cent page for more information. Great wine naturally deserves excellent food. Visit downtown to dine at one of many restaurants from casual barbecue and pizza, to elegant Spanish tapas and fine French and Italian cuisine. While downtown, shop to your heart's content at an eclectic selection of quaint boutiques, unique shops, and local galleries. You'll find clothing and accessories, crafts and hobbies and shops dedicated to local products.

No trip to downtown McMinnville would be complete without a visit to McMenamins Hotel Oregon's legendary Rooftop Bar, named one of the top ten rooftop bars on the west coast by Sunset Magazine. Have a beer or glass of wine and take in panoramic views of downtown, the surrounding countryside and nearby Coast Range.

From their farm, Jake and Shirley run Jake Price Stables where they train, show, breed horses and offer riding lessons. Jake is a world champion in Carting, English Riding and Western Riding and had the honor to represent the United States in 1995 at the Equitana, an equestrian sports world fair held in Germany.

Jake, Shirley and the staff at their farm have come to know and love the area and are able to offer several different tour options. They do their best to design each and every tour to be unique in some way. Shirley has been known to bake fresh bread and offer a small smorgasbord for guests to enjoy after a tour. Or you may have goodies packed for a picnic on your tour. One thing

is for sure...you will be treated very special.

THE VALLEY - Salem

Salem, the capital of Oregon, is located in the north-central Willamette Valley. It is the third largest city in the state. The Willamette River runs through the city and forms a

boundary between Polk and Marion counties. The 45th parallel, the halfway point between the equator and the North Pole, passes through Salem’s city center.

Salem is nicknamed the “Cherry City” due to the past importance of the local cherry growing industry. Agriculture has played an important role in Salem’s history and has been celebrated in festivals and parades throughout the years. It was only fi tting that in 1861, Salem was chosen as the permanent site of the Oregon State Fair, which is held annually the end of August through Labor Day. The fair offers exhibits, competitions, music and carnival rides.

Downtown Salem is home to the Mission Mill Museum, Hallie Ford Museum of Art, the El-sinore Theatre, Prewitt-Allen Archaeological Museum, Riverfront Park, the Willamette River as well as some of the oldest buildings in Oregon. Don’t miss the A.C. Gilbert’s Discovery Village, and interactive childrens’ museum; a great place to take the kids.

During May through October, you can visit the Salem Saturday Market, located north of the Capitol building. You’ll fi nd local products such as crafts, baked goods, produce, meat, and various other items. During the summer months, there is a Wednesday Farmers’ Market in downtown Courthouse Square and a Holiday Gift Market during December. There is also an indoor Saturday Public Market which is open year round.

With Salem as the capital, there are many government agencies housed in buildings with varying architectural designs. Some were built in the early 20th century while others are state-of-the-art design. The modern Greek structure of the Capitol building, highlighted by four different types of marble and Depression Era art, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. When you visit the beautiful building, located at 900 Court Street NE, be sure to experience the Capitol Rotunda. You will fi nd historic murals which are surrounded by functional and decorative polished marble. You’ll be amazed at the size and scale of the great room. There is plenty to see and educational opportunities abound. Climb either of the two staircases to the Oregon House of Representatives and the Oregon Senate. You may visit the capitol between 7:30 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Admission is free. Tours are available Monday through Friday 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and leave on the hour. There are also self-guided walking tours of the Capitol grounds.

Your tour of the Oregon State Capitol building would not be complete without a visit to the Observation Deck. View Salem from this spectacular vantage point. One hundred twenty-one steps of marble, concrete, & metal with catwalks and ramps lead to a narrow spiral staircase

which leads to a heavy door that opens at the base of the guilded “Golden Pioneer”. Tours are conducted every thirty minutes, Monday through Friday from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Call (503) 986-1388 to confi rm the tour schedule.

Help Build a Victorian Carousel 11Imagine a grand, classic carousel, populated by prancing bears and leaping salmon, galloping

horses and bounding hares, a veritable Noah’s ark built by hand and ready to carry a new generation of children into a wonderful world of art and imagination. This dream is coming to life at Albany’s Brass Ring carousel studio, a non-profit volunteer-driven organization dedicated to building a tra-ditional Victorian carousel. The project began in 2002 and it is estimated that it will be completed in 2015; the finished carousel will feature 52 animals and 2 chariots, each hand-painted and carved from basswood with hand tools. Become a part of this incredible project by volunteering to help with the carving and painting of the carousel pieces. No experience is necessary, and volunteers of all skill levels are welcome. Help build a more beautiful community in Albany by supporting the Brass Ring’s carousel project. The Albany Brass Ring is located at 503 First Ave W. in Albany, and is

open 10 am to 4 pm Monday through Saturday, and until 9 pm on Wednesdays. To vol-unteer, arrange a group tour or for more information, call (541) 791-3340.

The Willamette Valley, located at the foot of the Oregon Coast Range, comprises some of the most fertile and lush farmland in the Northwest. Stretching from just below the

Oregon-Washington border to the city of Eugene, the Willamette Valley has long been considered the heartbeat of Oregon. Nineteenth century pioneers following the Oregon Trail were drawn by its Eden-like reputation for abundant land, idyllic beauty and ample resources. The Willamette Valley is best known for its agricultural accomplishments, which include a fl ourishing wine industry. Hazelnuts, raspberries, blackberries and surprisingly, Christmas trees, are major exports of the Willamette Valley area.

Cross the Bridge to Brownsville 14Just under 30 miles north of

Eugene, east of Interstate 5 on Oregon’s Hwy 228, lies the friendly town of Brownsville. When turning onto Browns-ville’s Main Street, you enter a slower time zone. Crossing the green bridge over the Calapooia River, you’ll see a glorious white church, historic homes, and ahead of you, a miniature downtown. Brownsville is one of Oregon’s oldest communities. Brownsville’s thriving main street has something for every shopper, and the downtown Linn County Histori-cal Museum is the best place to discover artifacts. Local residents love Brownsville for the full menu of things to do such as fishing for native salmon and steelhead, birding, hiking in the nearby National Forest, visiting studios of local artists and picnicking in the park. The movie Stand by Me was filmed in Brownsville and a walking film tour map is available at the museum. For more information, visit the Chamber of Commerce Welcome Center in the Linn County Historical Museum at 101 Park Avenue, or call (541) 928-0831.

The William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge is a spectacular area dedicated to preserving and maintaining natural habitats. The refuge boasts beautiful wetlands, white oak savannas, lazy creeks, natural prairie land and a lowland ash forest that is home to a herd of elk. As the first National Wildlife Refuge west of the Mississippi River, its primary goal serves as a wintering habitat for dusky subspecies of Canada geese. Portions of the refuge are closed to the public while the geese are wintering, but you can check it out any other time of the year and see bald eagles, Oregon chub, Bradshaw’s desert parsley and the endangered peregrine falcons that call the refuge home. The refuge is 10 miles south of Corvallis on Hwy 99 West and is a “must see” for every wildlife and nature enthusiast. For more information, call (541) 757-7236.

The Peavy Arboretum, which is part of the McDonald Forest, is a fantastic place to enjoy the outdoors. The arboretum is maintained by Oregon State University’s College of Forestry. Established in 1924, the arboretum was built to be an outdoor laboratory and is a nice place to have a picnic. There are extensive hiking trails that were built by the College Forest staff. A short walk from the parking lot leads to peaceful Cronemiller Lake. Also close at hand is the George Brown Sports Arena, which is home to the OSU Logging Sports team. The Arboretum provides a fantastic location for relaxation and hiking. It is located about half a mile off Hwy 99 on Arboretum Road. For more information, call (541) 737-6702.

Nestled in the Willamette Valley between the breathtaking scenery of the Cascade Mountains and the Oregon Coast Range, Eugene is often referred to as “The Emerald City.” Douglas fi r

forests border Eugene on three sides and account for its past reputation as a lumber town.The city of Eugene is often named one of America’s most livable cities and it’s not hard to see

why. It is home to the University of Oregon, has renowned cultural activities, abundant recreational opportunities and enjoys a beautiful setting and mild climate.

The area is so pleasant the Kalapuya people, the fi rst inhabitants of the Willamette Valley, are thought to have occupied the area for centuries. However, by the mid-1800s settlers were displacing the Kalapuya. Eugene Franklin Skinner built the fi rst cabin in the area in 1846. It was used as a trad-ing post and offi cially designated as a post offi ce in 1850. In another two years, Skinner and a local judge had Eugene City laid out.

After heavy rains proved their fi rst location to be rather soggy (the site became known as “Skin-ner’s Mudhole”), they moved the town site to higher ground. Settlers kept arriving in the fertile region. Several sawmills were built to process nearby timber, and by 1858 there were more than 500 people in Eugene City. In 1862, the city was fi nally incorporated and two years later changed its name to City of Eugene.

Eugene is now home to more than 150,000 people, and with its neighbor Springfi eld, makes up the third largest metropolitan area in Oregon, after Portland and Salem. It is located 426 feet above sea level and covers approximately 36 square miles.

Eugene & Springfield

But statistics do little to describe Eugene. It is a vibrant community, the quintessential college town, full of active people who make it a point to enjoy their surroundings and the arts. A favorite spot to congregate is along the banks of the peaceful Willamette River, which meanders through the city. Miles of biking and running trails line the river in Alton Baker Park. Canoes and kayaks can be rented for leisurely boating. Summer temperatures can reach the 80s and 90s and the cool grass along the river is perfect for outdoor concerts, fairs and festivals. Additional cycling is available on more than 300 miles of bike paths in Eugene and Springfi eld, most of them fl at. Whitewater rafting and kayaking are popular on the nearby McKenzie, Rogue and Umpqua Rivers.

Flower-lovers will want to visit the renowned Rhododendron Garden at Hendrick’s Park. This 12-acre garden contains more than 6,000 rhododendrons, azaleas, magnolias, viburnums and other plants. Paths wander through the garden to secluded seating areas. The rhodies bloom from February through July, with peak fl owering in April and May. Another fl ower-lover’s mecca is the Owen Rose Garden in Skinner Butte Park where 4,500 roses scent the air. The park is where city founder Eugene Skinner built his cabin in 1846. In all, Eugene has 133 diverse city parks that encompass more than 3,000 acres. For further information, call (541) 682-4800.

If you love wine or love to tour wineries and vineyards, you’ll fi nd dozens of them, ranging from small boutique wineries to large corporations, are located in the southern portion of the Willamette Valley. See pages 28 & 29 for more information.

Neighboring Eugene is Springfi eld, the second largest city in Lane County with a population of over 55,000. Springfi eld’s name has a unique origin. In 1894, after a long trip across the country via the “southern route,” Elias M. Briggs and his wife Mary built their house near a babbling spring. Briggs developed a town around the spring in a meadow near his homestead—now Springfi eld, Oregon.

These pioneers were typical of the generations of hard workers who followed them. As soon as the early settlers dug millraces and opened their fl our and lumber mills, Springfi eld became known as a mill town. Though it has been 150 years since the fi rst settlers spawned Springfi eld’s reputation, important mill icons remain embedded in the psyche of many of the town’s residents. Even Springfi eld High School’s mascot is the Miller.

Incorporated as a city in 1885, Springfi eld continues to attract new businesses and residents with its prime location and high quality of life. Springfi eld lies between two rolling rivers in the heart of the Willamette Valley in western Oregon—the McKenzie River, famous for its fl y fi shing waters, and the Willamette River. Spring-fi eld is a friendly place to live, work and play, and is a popular choice for statewide events, due to its convenient location on Interstate 5, halfway between the coast and the Cascade Mountains.

Summer in Springfi eld is full of many special events and festivals, such as the Fiesta Latina, the Springfi eld Filbert Festival and many concerts in the park. The area offers local access to camp-ing, boating and some of the best freshwater fi shing in the state. The Lively Park Swim Center Wave Pool is a favorite with kids.

Much of the community’s historic heritage has been preserved. The Washburne Historic Dis-trict, adjoining downtown, shows a fi ne example of working-class mill cottages.

Editor’s Note: Former Springfi eld Mayor Sidney Leiken and the Springfi eld Chamber of Commerce contributed to this report.

Drift the McKenzie River 27The famous McKenzie River is truly one of the most beautiful and easy-to-enjoy rivers in the

world. This partially spring-fed river originates high in the volcanic Cascade Mountain Range at Col-lier Glacier, one of the largest glaciers in North America, and is located on the western slope of the Middle Sister, in the remote Three Sisters Wilderness.

The McKenzie begins its decent, rumbling and tumbling its way westward through the lush green foothills of the Cascade Mountains and picturesque Willamette National Forest. Cutting its way through heavily-forested canyons, the river slows briefl y as if to enjoy the beauty it helped to create at Clear Lake. The crystal clear, blue McKenzie continues its journey westward, cascading through pure stands of Douglas fi r and western red cedar, mixed in with white alder and big leaf maple along the banks.

This is where the “Wild & Scenic” section begins, near Olallie Camp-ground. This section is ideal for raft-ing and fi shing, and can be accessed at many points along the McKenzie River Highway (SR-126). Wild osprey fl y overhead looking for fi sh as you fl oat past charming cottages, nestled in a lush forest setting with colorful wildfl owers in full bloom. A number of local rafting outfitters are available to make your trip along the McKenzie both safe and fun; for more infor-mation, call The Caddis Fly Angling Shop, (541) 342-7005.

other: Odell and Crescent Lakes. The lakes are known for their deep waters, dramatic mountain views and fabulous salmon and trout fishing. Activities include hiking, biking, waterskiing, wind-surfing and canoeing.

The area is also fantastic for bird watching or wildlife viewing. There are a number of peaceful meadows in the area that are great for relaxing. In the winter the meadows are perfect for kids to play in the snow. There are a number of places for skiing. In the fall, hunting for deer and elk is allowed. There are a number of campgrounds. To find Odell and Crescent Lakes, go east on Hwy 58 from Eugene. For more information, call Crescent Ranger District at (541) 433-3200.

The waters of Waldo Lake are crystal clear and have been compared to distilled water. Not only is this lake famous for its amazing waters, it is the second deepest natural lake in the state (Crater Lake is the deepest). Any size boat can be used for fishing or just sightseeing.

This is a terrific setting with views of the peaks of the Cascade Mountains. Hiking and mountain biking trails circle and radiate out from the water. Waldo Lake is found 12 miles back in a forest just south of the Willamette Pass on Hwy 58, about 70 miles from the Eugene-Springfield area. However, due to its elevation, the lake is only accessible during the summer. For more informa-tion, call (541) 782-2283.

Imagine the cold wind whipping in a downhill run on the whitest of ski slopes. Both skiing and snowboarding are a pleasure at Willamette Pass, located approximately 65 miles southeast of Eugene off Hwy 58. It is a fantastic ski area that offers people of all skill levels a chance to hit the slopes, even at night. It has a number of exciting programs, including children and adult lessons in both skiing and snowboarding. The resort has eight chal-lenging black diamond runs where advanced skiers will find all the challenge they need. The nearly 30 downhill trails cover over 1,500 vertical feet and the new “accelera-tor” high speed chair lift makes it easy to spend more time on the 550 snow covered acres, and less time in the air above them. Rentals are available for both skiers and boarders. During the summer, the resort is open for mountain biking and disc golf. The area features a restaurant as well as a snack bar and lounge. There is no on-site lodging facility, but there are four lodges within 15 minutes of the slopes. For more information, call (541) 345-SNOW (7669).

S outh of Eugene, 25 miles on Interstate 5, is the quaint community of Cottage Grove, nestled at the southern edge of Lane County. Its tree-lined streets are home to over 8,000 people

attracted by its small-town fl avor and abundant natural beauty. Cottage Grove calls itself the “Covered Bridge Capital of Oregon” and features a covered bridge in its municipal logo. There are six such bridges near Cottage Grove and all can be visited within a couple hours. The oldest of the bridges dates from 1920. At the time, steel and concrete were both expensive. Good timber was not only available but plentiful, and the older bridges were largely built by hand.

Downtown Cottage Grove and nine local homes are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It’s an easy stroll through town to visit antique stores, restaurants, galleries and specialty shops. A few blocks from downtown is the Cottage Grove Museum which holds mining and logging artifacts. There is also a display of memorabilia from the Titanic. Theater buffs might catch a locally-produced drama or musical performed by the Cottage Theater.

Cyclists, equestrians and joggers can set out on the Row River Trail, a paved 14-mile multi-use path that leads to Dorena Lake and the Cascades. The route follows an old railroad line that serviced outlying timber mills. Dorena Lake and Cottage Grove Lake are both within 10 minutes of town and offer fi shing, swimming, boating and camping.

There are three backcountry waterfalls in the Umpqua National Forest east of Cottage Grove you can hike to in a single day—Pinard, Spirit and Moon Falls. The trail to Pinard Falls, a 105-foot cas-cade on the East Fork of Laying Creek, is relatively new, and is less than two-thirds of a mile long. The first half is a gentle downhill walk from the trailhead. The second half is steeper, descending down a series of switchbacks, then down some stone steps along a narrow, rocky ridge. The trail ends at a stand of old-growth Douglas fir, where a shaded bench is angled for optimum viewing as the creek tumbles into the weir below. The trail to Spirit Falls is a third of a mile long. It follows a gentle, forested grade for most of its length, then in a short series of switchbacks descends to the base of the falls. A lush forest shades the pool most of the day, but on summer afternoons sunlight pokes through for awhile and Spirit Falls become a photographer’s delight. The Moon Falls trail is an easy half-mile trek over a closed road, then through a majestic old-growth forest. The 125-foot waterfall cascades down the rock, generating a heavy mist that cools hikers on hot summer days. All three trailheads are located near each other, off Row River Road 19 miles east of Cottage Grove. Download maps from the Forest Service website or stop at the Ranger Station, 78405 Cedar Park Road in Cottage Grove for directions. For information, call (541) 767-5000.

Uncover Mining History 32Bohemia Mining District, near Cottage Grove,

is a little piece of the region’s living history. Once the site of a nineteenth-century gold rush, the area is now a reminder of another time, with abandoned mines, ghost towns and classic covered bridges, all of which can be toured by car or bike. The Bohemia Gold Mining Museum at 737 E Main St. has more informa-tion on the region’s history and the sights to see in the mining district.

Take a step back in time to gold rush days with the Bohemia Mining Days festival, scheduled July 19-22, 2012, featuring a carnival, concert performances, talent shows, arts and crafts, vendors, activities for the kids and demonstrations of everything from martial arts and antiques to yodeling and whistling. Pan for gold and take a ride in a horse-drawn wagon; watch the rodeo and take a train ride. This festival is fun for the whole family with a frontier flavor, and happens every summer in Cottage Grove. For more information, visit:

Roseburg is a small city of 20,000 people near the confl uence of the north and south branches of the Umpqua River. Roseburg has many amenities to attract the traveler,

including riverside lodging, fi ne restaurants, live theater, art galleries, parks, golf and muse-ums. The Douglas County Museum of History and Natural History features a hands-on Children’s Discovery Room, dioramas, 8,000-year-old tools of native peoples and exhibits on the Apple-gate Trail, the route for early Euro-American settlers to the region. Live theater is offered by the Theater Arts Department at Umpqua Community College, as well as the Umpqua Actors Community Theatre, which performs in the Betty Long Unruh Theater in Stewart Park. The Umpqua Valley Arts Center has rotating exhibits in its main gallery, as well as a youth gallery with works by local students.

Visitors will be amazed by the grandeur of the surrounding countryside, and the Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway, Hwy 138, is a fi ne example. Eighteen miles from town is Colliding Riv-ers, where the waters of the North Umpqua smash directly into the waters of the Little River during high water fl ows. At Steamboat Springs, the road passes some of the best fl y-fi shing in the world. Nearby is The Narrows, where the river’s width is greatly constricted in a deep channel. Parks and campgrounds provide access to the river and hiking trails lead to several waterfalls. Several local outfi tters and lodges offer white-water rafting and kayaking trips on the river. The southern portion of the Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway parallels the Rogue River on the way back to Hwy 5 and Medford. Reservoirs, lakes and rivers throughout Douglas County offer a variety of boating opportunities. The Roseburg Visitors & Convention Bureau has boating information available including location of boat access points along the north, south and main Umpqua Rivers. For more information, call (541) 672-9731.

It is still possible to pan for gold, just as if it were 100 years ago during the Gold Rush. About 21 miles south of Roseburg off I-5, Cow Creek still offers panning for gold amid the trees, meadows and wildflowers. This area used to be privately owned for mining, but recently a 1,300-foot seg-ment along the lower part of the creek has been made public. Visitors who don’t strike it rich still enjoy the scenery—waterfalls, flower speckled fields and the huge rocks jutting out of the creek. Enjoy a picnic lunch down by the creek at one of the tables. This is an opportunity of a lifetime. Finding your own piece of gold would certainly make the visit complete. For more information, call the Bureau of Land Management in Roseburg at (541) 440-4930.

www.blm.gov/or/districts/roseburg/recreation/activities.php

The Douglas County Museum of Natural & Cultural History has thousands of artifacts to amaze and educate, with many exhibits showing the culture of native people who lived in the area before the pioneers. Visitors will be treated to a closer look at the lives of early explorers and pioneers who crossed the Applegate Trail on their way to the west coast. There are many historic photographs showing how the first settlers lived and worked in the town of Rose-burg. The Lavola Bakken Research Library offers rare books and maps of the county. The Children’s Discovery Room can give children wonderful hands-on experience. There are also many exhibits that display changes to the environment over the years, including volcanic eruptions that have altered the land. There is a complete section of the museum dedicated to the Oregon and California Railroad Depot. To get to the museum, take I-5 to Exit 123. For more information on hours, admission or special events, call (541) 957-7007.

Take a Drive-Through Safari 36Wildlife Safari in Win-

ston is the closest thing you will find to an African Safari. Hop in your car and the adventure begins. Seen through the windows of your own vehicle are animals from all over the world wandering around in a habitat exactly like their natural ones. You will find animals from Africa such as lions, giraffes, rhinos, hippos, cheetahs and elephants. Animals from Asia include camels and Siberian tigers. There are also animals from the Americas as well, such as bald eagles, bear, elk and bison. Don’t be surprised if these amaz-ing animals stroll right up to the car to take a peek inside.

Wildlife Safari has a Safari Village where you can take your time walking through, viewing animals, taking in an animal show or catching a lunch at the Smokin’ Hippo BBQ. But watch out—the Village Rangers may be walking around with something pretty amazing to show off. Let them know a week or so in advance and they can schedule you for a “Get Inside Encounter.” Feed a giraffe, bathe an elephant, serve breakfast to the bears or participate in a lion, cheetah or tiger feed. Price of encounters vary, but they can help you plan something you will not easily forget.

Wildlife Safari has a long history of successful conservation. They have witnessed the birth of 161 cheetahs since the park opened, more than at any other facility in the United States. Cheetahs are notoriously difficult to breed in captivity. Currently, the captive population still

requires the genes of wild cheetahs to remain healthy. Wildlife Safari works very hard improving their suc-cessful breeding program, and help-ing other zoos become successful breeders as well. Cheetahs may be extinct in the wild in as little as 20 years. Wildlife Safari works with the Species Survival Plan to decide on breeding pairs that would best help the captive population genetically, and are committed to keeping a healthy zoo population, so even if wild cheetah numbers dwindle, they can ensure that cheetahs will be in this world for a long time to come. To get to Wildlife Safari, take Interstate 5 to Exit 119 (Hwy 42) and follow the signs. For more in formation, call (541) 679-6761.

Tour a Winery 37

You owe it to yourself to get off of I-5 in Roseburg and enjoy the spectacular countryside that surrounds the town. You can’t see this exceptionally active wine industry from the Highway—you must look around the hills. There you will find peaceful, rolling hillsides and pastures, and plenty of wineries to enjoy. The back roads are well-maintained, and form a network among the “Hundred Valleys of the Umpqua.” Most of the small towns along the way have a little store, and some have fueling stations. The Umpqua Valley AVA is spread along both sides of I-5 and covers approximately 60 miles north to south, and 40 miles east to west. Map out a few wineries that you can comfort-ably drive to, and take a little picnic. Many of the wineries have a pleasant picnic area. You will need at least three days to stop at every winery. Oregon wine country has fun and romantic lodging opportunities, as well as larger 2, 3 and 4 star hotels. Stay among the vines, or in town—the choices are varied. All offer friendly surroundings as you explore the wines and countryside.

www.umpquavalleywineries.org

Imagine speeding through the snow with the wind whipping up along the trails, surrounded by snow-dusted trees. There is nothing like being in the heart of nature, away from traffic and ring-ing phones in white winter scenery. At Diamond Lake, roughly 80 miles from Roseburg, visitors can enjoy snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. It is one of the most popular places in the northwest for snowmobiling. There are over 300 miles of trails to explore alone or on a guided tour. The North Rim Overlook is an easy trail and great for beginners. It offers one of the area’s most spectacular views. Cross-country skiers will find miles of groomed ski trails and plenty of places to rent all the needed equipment. For more information on snowmobiling or cross-country skiing, call the Diamond Lake Resort at (541) 793-3333.

www.co.douglas.or.us/countyinfo/dl.html

The perfect old-fashioned, small town experience can be found on a trip to Oakland, 16 miles north of Roseburg. Walking tour and informational pamphlets are available at the Chamber of Commerce on 3rd Street in downtown Oakland. Exploring this quaint town offers a beautiful archi-tectural sampling of buildings from the late 19th Century. These historic properties helped Oakland become Oregon’s first historic district recognized in the National Register of Historic Places. There are over a dozen wonderful antique stores located in Oakland along with several curio shops and art galleries. The downtown brick storefronts will take you back to a time when life was simpler and time moved more slowly. Most of the buildings have placards that include the year the building was built as well as its original use.

One of the best ways to appreciate the rare plants, wildlife and grassland communities that were once abundant along the Oregon Coast, is to take a trip to Cascade Head, a Nature Conservancy preserve located just north of Lincoln City, off Hwy 101. The spectacular coastal headland provides critical habitat for native prairie grasses, rare wildflowers and the Oregon silverspot butterfly. Visi-tors may encounter elk, coyote, deer, snowshoe hares and giant salamanders. Bald eagles, great horned owls, northern harriers, red-tail hawks and peregrine falcons make hunting forays over the Preserve’s grassy slopes. The Preserve and the surrounding National Forest lands won recognition in 1980 as a National Scenic Research Area and a United Nations Biosphere Reserve. Try to spot the stunning and rare hairy Checkermellow flower. Serenity and wildlife are the two things that can always be expected from a trip to Cascade Head. Bikes and pets are prohibited, since the Preserve harbors ground-nesting birds and other wildlife that are extremely sensitive to disturbance. For more information, call (503) 802-8100.

For a truly delightful treat, visit the Connie Hansen Garden in Lincoln City, where more than an acre of color and fragrance await. Visitors on the many garden paths are surrounded by an extensive collection of unusual plants including more than 300 rhododendrons, azaleas, Japanese and Siberian iris and geraniums. The rich variety of plants makes a visit at any time

of year a treat. Flowers add fragrance to the air and birds provide the music. This sensational coastal garden was developed by well-known botanist Connie Hansen, with her own hybrid and exotic plants, creat-ing an oasis of blooms, ponds and trees. A volunteer conservancy has maintained the garden since Hansen’s death. The garden, located at 1931 NW 33rd St., is open daily from dawn to dusk. There is no charge, but donations are appreciated. Hosts are on site Tuesday and Saturday, and tours are available upon request. For more information, call (541) 994-6338.

The D River is the world’s shortest river. It begins in sparkling Devil’s Lake and flows a mere 120 feet before dumping into the powerful Pacific Ocean. It is best viewed from a boat in Devil’s Lake. The D River is so small that it is contained entirely within the Lincoln City limits. The ocean tides can dramatically affect the length of this tiny river. The D River State Recreation Park provides a popular beach and excellent fishing opportunities. The D River flows under Hwy 101 and visitors love to brag about following the entire length of the river from the source to the Pacific Ocean. For more information, call (800) 551-6949.

Check Out the World’s Shortest River 44

With downtown Lincoln City mere minutes away, you can glide quietly by canoe or kayak on Devil’s Lake while you watch for coots, loons, ducks, cormorants, bald eagles and grebes. As the only Oregon coast campground located in the midst of a city, the lake is a center of summertime activity. Visit Blue Heron Landing Boat & Bike Rental to rent kayaks, paddleboats, or motorboats or to have family fun in bumper boats. (See ad on this page for details.) The wetland ecology trail

is a great chance to observe several species of birds that make the 678-acre lake their home. The lake is a primary wintering ground for migratory geese and ducks—the den-sity of waterfowl here is greater than any other coastal wetland in Oregon. Swimmers will enjoy Sand Point Park. The park lies on a peninsula and reaches out into the lake with large beaches for swimming or relaxing and picnic areas for a meal in the great outdoors. The campground offers RV and tent sites, yurts and a hiker-biker camp. To make reservations, call (800) 452-5687. For information, call (541) 994-2002 or (800) 551-6949. The park is located at 1452 NE 6th Drive in Lincoln City.

The Devil’s Punchbowl is named after a unique rock formation that really looks like a punch-bowl. Especially during stormy weather when the ocean slams into the hollow rock formation—the surf churns, foams and swirls into a violent brew. It was most likely created by the collapse of the rock roof over two sea caves, then shaped by eroding waves. After viewing the punchbowl, take advantage of the great picnic area and its phenomenal views. Look just off the coast for Otter Rock, a large seabird rookery, or to catch a glimpse of a whale. The park is exceptional in its rugged and scenic beauty. Devil’s Punchbowl State Natural Area can be found approxi-mately 17 miles south of Lincoln City, west of Hwy 101. For more information, call (800) 551-6949.

Go Horseback Riding on the Beach or Trail 45There is no better way to experience the Oregon

Coast and all of its breathtaking scenery than on the back of a horse. Bring your camera and meet the guides from Green Acres Boarding Stables at Bob Straub Park in Pacific City at your scheduled time. You’ll be paired up with a horse that matches your personality and skill level.

Or, if you’d rather take a mountain trail ride, meet your guide at the stable. The guide will get your horse saddled up and you’ll head out along the edge of their large pastures to the entrance of several different trails. Many of the trails are maintained by local elk herd and you might get a glimpse of them. If you’re feeling romantic, choose the Romantic Picnic Ride, which is an afternoon ride into the mountains where you both can enjoy a simple picnic, catered by one of the local restaurants, then spend an hour or two in privacy while your horses wait to take you home.

For more information, contact Green Acres Boarding Stables at (541) 921-6289 or (541) 603-1768.

The Seal Rock State Recre-ation Site is a small but beautiful strip of coast that offers a vari-ety of fun and relaxing activities. Seal Rock is part of a fascinating habitat for seals, sea lions, birds and other marine life. Seals and sea lions in particular love this large basalt rock formation—the younger mammals play and frolic on and around the rocks, while the adults

simply sunbathe. The area is excellent for tide pool-ing or clamming. Some of the best littleneck clams in the area are harvested from this area. There are plenty of fishing oppor-tunities in the area and many shady picnic areas. The Seal Rock State Rec-reation Site is located 10 miles south of Newport, directly adjacent to Hwy 101. For more informa-tion, call (800) 551-6949.

Tucked between the Coastal Mountains and the Pacifi c Ocean, nestled on the shores of spectacular Yaquina Bay, Newport lives up to its slogan as “the friendliest

town” and is the largest on the Central Oregon Coast with a population of nearly 10,000.The history of Newport shaped the two distinct parts of the town—the historic

Bayfront and Nye Beach. With the discovery in 1862 of huge oyster beds in the bay and river, companies from San Francisco began to arrive for oyster harvesting. In 1866, Samuel Case staked a claim on the north shore of Yaquina Bay and soon announced the construction of the area’s fi rst hotel. Being familiar with the Ocean House Hotel in Newport, Rhode Island, he subsequently named the hotel and the new city after the town on the Atlantic coast.

With the completion of the Corvallis-Yaquina Bay Wagon Road, tourists from the Willamette Valley could ride the stage to Elk City, about 25 miles up the Yaquina River, then travel down river on a mail boat to the Newport Bayfront. Before long, talk of Newport becoming “the San Francisco of the Northwest” was spreading far and wide. The Oregon Development First Class Steamship Company began carrying passengers between Yaquina and San Francisco. By 1867, the town consisted of two stores, two fi sh-packing plants, two hotels, two saloons, a restaurant and a meat market.

Those with an interest in history will not lack for places to whet their appetite. In 1871, the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse was built as an aid to navigation. Unfortunately, because of where the lighthouse had been located, ships entering the area from the north were unable to see the light. Consequently, in 1873, a new lighthouse was com-missioned and the Yaquina Head Lighthouse was built. It is still operational today. Both lighthouses are open to the public.

Historically, Bayfront was Newport’s economic backbone and later became a port for the commercial fi shing and lumber products industries. Today, Bayfront is still home to Oregon’s largest commercial fi shing fl eets, a working waterfront on which visitors can enjoy shops, art galleries, chowder houses, restaurants and family attractions in its turn-of-the-century storefronts. Charter fi shing boats offer trips for salmon and halibut.

By the 1890s, as Newport grew, an area north of Bayfront, called Nye Beach, became popular with tourists as well. By the early 1900s, Nye Beach was the number one visitor attrac-tion on the Oregon coast, with hot sea baths, taffy stores, arcades and agate shops. Numerous summer cottages and cabins began to be built in the area. In 1891, the city built a wooden

sidewalk to connect the area with the Bayfront. Today, Nye Beach is a very popular destination for unique galleries, book stores, restaurants, shops and lodging. Call (800) 262-7844 or (541) 265-8801 for more information.

Camp in a Yurt at Beverly Beach State Park 50If place names like Cape Foulweather and Devil’s Punch Bowl don’t entice you to check out

Beverly Beach State Park, perhaps the opportunity to stay the night in a yurt village will. Beverly Beach is seven miles north of Newport; the lighthouse at Yaquina Head is visible to the south, and the beach is popular for fossil hunting, sand-castle building, kite-flying, surfing, and nearby whale-watching. Beverly Beach boasts one of the state park system’s largest campgrounds. Thick forest frames the campsites spread out along a creek, and the campground includes a visitor center, children’s playground and picnic area. Then, there are the yurts. A yurt is a cylindrical domed tent structure with a pointy top that sleeps seven with features that include a wooden floor, lights, heat and beds with mattresses, a fire ring and picnic table outside. They are situated like a village inside the campground, and can be rented by the night. For park information, call (800) 551-6949. To reserve a campsite or yurt, call (800) 452-5687.

Visit the Oregon Coast Aquarium 58For those who are curious about

the wildlife that lives in and around the Pacific Ocean, the Oregon Coast Aquarium is truly amazing. The Oregon Coast Aquarium has been named among the top ten in the nation by USA Today, Coastal Living, and Parents Magazine.

Showcasing the diverse marine life found off the Oregon coast, the exhibit features three large ocean habitats, connected by a 200-foot underwater tunnel. The outdoor exhibits include sea otters, sea lions, tide pools and a state-of-the-art marine aviary. One of the largest outdoor seabird aviaries in North America is found here, featuring the comical tufted puffins, common murres and graceful pigeon guillemots. The 29-acre aquarium is located at 2820 SE Ferry Slip Road, Newport. For more information, call (541) 867-3474.

If you have ever wondered how a lighthouse works either today or a century ago, or just want to experience the amazing views from Oregon’s tallest lighthouse, the Yaquina Head Lighthouse is a sight that you cannot afford to miss. Standing at 93-feet-tall, the lighthouse is situated on a peninsula that juts into the Pacific Ocean. The lighthouse was built in 1873 and is now fully automated. Take

a tour with a knowledgeable guide and learn the facts and stories, then climb the 114 steps to the top of the lighthouse. Explore the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area or visit the Interpretive Center, which is home to exhibits showcasing the area’s natural features. The Natural Area is also home to a man-made tide pool that was previously part of a rock quarry. Check out the harbor seals who are now year-round visitors and the Quarry Cove viewing area. The Yaquina Head Lighthouse is located three miles north of Newport at 750 North Lighthouse Drive, west of the town of Agate Beach, off Hwy 101. For more information, call (541) 574-3100.

Yachats (pronounced “YAH-hots”) is a little community nestled between the lush green mountains of the Coast Range and the dramatic waves of the Pacifi c surf. It is the ideal

place for discovery and renewal, rest, recreation and romance. In 2007, Budget Travel Magazine named Yachats one of the “Ten Coolest Small Towns of the U.S.A.,” and Virtualtourist dubbed it one of the “Top 10 U.S. Up-And-Coming Vacation Destinations.”

Fishing on the Yachats River offers trout and freshwater salmon. Between April and Octo-ber, people come to catch the sardine-like smelt. Yachats is one of the few ocean beach areas where smelt come ashore to spawn. During the second Saturday in July, Yachats has a huge fi sh fry, where they serve more than 500 lbs. of the dainty silver fi sh. There are restaurants for every type of budget, ranging from take-away to specialty gourmet dining. Accommoda-

tions in Yachats include secluded suites, cabins and bed and breakfast inns, many of which take advantage of the spectacular views available in the area. For more information, contact the Yachats Area Chamber of Commerce (541) 547-3530.

THE COAST - Yachats

The Cape Perpetua Scenic Area is part of the 630,000-acre Siuslaw National Forest. This forest is actually a temperate rainforest that has more dense vegetation than the Amazon jungle. A good place to start is to take the steep road up to the Cape Perpetua Visitor and Interpretative Center, located two miles south of Yachats off Hwy 101. There are many guided hikes and educational programs available, or set out on your own. Hiking trails lead through the forest and allow for encounters with spotted owls, marbled murrelets, deer and elk. Follow the Giant Spruce Trail, which leads past trees as large as 10 feet in diameter, and at low tide, check out the marine garden. Visitors who take the Overlook Road to the West Shelter, just north of the Visitor Center, will be rewarded with arguably the most stunning view along the Oregon coast. For more information, call (541) 547-3289.

Over the years, the cross-shaped Little Log Church and Museum has become a source of pride for the residents. It was built from local timber and was dedicated for church use in 1930. The building now houses a museum and exhibits items of historical interest as well as traveling art exhibits. There is a framed map that shows the State of Oregon and the Washington Territory, which was printed around 1880. The museum also houses a 48-star flag that was used at the church before Alaska and Hawaii became states. There are also many other interesting items, such as books and artworks

donated by local residents, which commemorate Yachats and the surrounding area. Anyone who is intrigued by history and heritage should definitely visit the Little Log Church and Museum at 328 West 3rd Street in Yachats. For more information, call (541) 547-3976.

O n the central coast of Lane County, the lovely town of Florence is located on a bend of the Siuslaw River, where it turns north to fl ow to the Pacifi c.

Florence grew from its riverfront origins, and historic Old Town is a good place to absorb its nautical fl avor. Surrounded by Victorian buildings, it’s easy to imagine when life in the city revolved around the coming and going of boats.

The river, ocean and nearby lakes provide numerous sites for fi shing, swimming, paddling and sailing. Florence is the northern gateway to the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, 47 miles of coastal dune habitat rich in unique plant and animal species, with more than 137 different birds. The dunes can be explored on several hiking trails, on horseback or aboard dune buggies available at several outfi tters.

Spend time exploring antique stores, art galleries and specialty shops along Hwy 101, Florence’s antique district. Antique stores offer items from times past, “one-of-a-kinds,” or some things more common. See page 58 for information about the Florence Antique District.

Florence celebrates several annual events including the January Winter Folk Festival; the March Oregon Dunes Mushers Mail Run; the Rhododendron Festival the third week in May when the local shrub is in full bloom; the Chowder, Blues and Brews Festival in the fall; and the annual Dickens Christmas in December. For more information regarding Florence, contact the Florence Area Chamber of Commerce, located at 290 Hwy 101, call (541) 997-3128.

www.fl orencechamber.comThe Port of Siuslaw is your launching point for maritime adventure; take a stroll down

the boardwalk and have a look at the many commercial and sport boats moored here, during fi shing season you may be able to buy fresh seafood directly from the vessels. The Port’s RV campground offers travelers all the usual amenities with a gorgeous view, and all within walk-

ing distance of restaurants, shops, the Florence Events Center and more. For more information on the Port of Siuslaw, call (541) 997-3040. www.portofsiuslaw.com

Take a Trip into the Past & Arrive in the Future 66

Take the Elevator to Visit the Sea Lions 65

Anyone interested in seeing an amazing one-of-a-kind natural phenomenon should take a trip to Sea Lion Caves, featuring the world’s largest sea cave. The cave was formed almost 25 million years ago and is now home to about 200 Steller sea lions. There is elevator access 208 feet down into the enormous cave. The cave is about 12 stories high and as wide as a football field. During the fall and winter months this amazing cave may be filled with fun-loving sea lions. The rock ledge below the lookout located just outside the cave is the sea lions’ home during the spring and summer, and is where they breed and bear their young. Great care is taken to maintain the cave as a natural habitat for the sea lions. Flash photography is not allowed in the cave. Sea Lion Caves is located 11 miles north of Florence, at 91560 Hwy 101 North. For more information, call (541) 547-3111.

Only a few miles inland from Florence, you can find the Sweet Creek Trail, which follows the scenic cascading waters of Sweet Creek. You will encounter 11 waterfalls in all as you hike along the trail under a canopy of Doug-las-Fir, Alder and Big Leaf Maple. Homestead Trailhead, about 10 miles east of Highway 126 on Sweet Creek Road, is where you will begin your approximately 3 mile hike.

You can make this hike year round, but making the trip in April or May might allow you to see woodland wildflowers, including big white trilliums and a rare breed of pink fawn lilies. You’ll also see columbines and wild woodland iris among the rocks in the sides of the trail. Ferns and mosses of various shades of green cover rocks, trees and downed logs. Metal catwalks have been built into the trail, making it an easy hike. For more information about Sweet Creek Falls, call (541) 750-7000.

No snow? No problem. You won’t need winter weather to break out your board at Oregon’s famous coastal sand dunes. Sand Master Park in Florence — the world’s first sandboard park — boasts beginner to advanced slopes, bowls, a 40-foot ramp, jumps and rail slides centered on 40 acres of private sand dunes and surrounded by 200 acres of public dunes and forest land. The annual Sand Master Jam event is held the third full weekend of June, along with the popular Battle of the Bands series of free concerts throughout the summer months. Groups and parties are welcome to take a lesson from a world sandboard champion, and the pro shop offers board rentals and all of the necessary gear, including sandboards, sand sleds, boogie boards and skim boards. Sand Master Park is located on Hwy 101 at the north end of Florence. For more information, call (541) 997-6006.

Visitors are sure to find exciting things to do at the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. Over the years, winds have carved out the sand to form dunes of up to 500 feet above sea level. Located just south of Florence off Hwy 101, the dunes cover a 40-mile stretch of coast making it the largest coastal dune area in North America. Off-roading is allowed in three designated areas for ATVs and dune buggies. Visitors can take a self-guided tour by renting or bringing their own. There are several companies in the area that offer tours, lead by experienced and knowledgeable guides. Buggies can carry anywhere from one, two, four or 13 people. For more information, call Sandland Adventures at (541) 997-8087, or Sand Dunes Frontier at (541) 997-3544. Hiking trails and camp-ing areas abound in the area as well. Those looking for a change should check out sand camping in dispersed sand camping sites. Vehicles accessing campsites should be capable of off-highway travel over soft sand in a dune environment. For more informa-tion, call Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area (541) 271-3611.

Tee Off at Sandpines Golf Links 68

Rent an ATV or Buggy and Play on the Dunes 70

Nestled amidst wind-swept sand dunes and towering pines, Sandpines Golf Links is a breathtak-ing location for coastal golf. The Rees Jones designed course was honored as the “Best New Public Course in America” in 1993. As one of the premier courses in the Northwest, Sandpines received a 4½ star rating from Golf Digest’s list of “Places to Play in the USA.”

The par 72, 7190-yard course is a true test of the game to golfers of all levels. Both nines incorporate the beautifully rugged canvas that is the Central Oregon Coast. The outward nine is sculpted out of a forest of towering pines and majestic crystal blue lakes reminiscent of those found on the Monterey Peninsula. The inward nine, with its traditional links style, brings you back to the soul of the game, with the rolling dunes at the forefront from tee to green.

The 9,000 square foot clubhouse with the Tavolo Restaurant & Lounge is the centerpiece, featuring breathtaking views of the golf course and fresh, local cuisine. The golf shop offers the latest in golf equipment, apparel and accessories for both men and women, and instruction with a PGA professional is also available. For more information, call (541) 917-4653.

The Darlingtonia State Natural Site provides visitors with a very rare opportunity to see the Cobra Lily, a carnivorous plant. Though the Cobra Lily appears beautiful to humans, it is a treacher-ous predator for insects. The Cobra Lily’s magnificent reddish purple top leaves and sweet smelling nectar attract the bugs, but once inside the plant, life ends. The plant traps the insects, which slide down and get digested and absorbed by the plant. The 18-acre Botanical Park has a very nice boardwalk trail leading to the plants. It is also home to other lush vegetation and wildlife, and has a picnic area. It is free to use and located just five miles north of Florence off Hwy 101. For more information about the Darlingtonia State Natural Site and the carnivorous Cobra Lily, call (800) 551-6949.

Cummins Creek Wilderness Area is a 9,100-acre spot that features the only remaining old-growth Sitka spruce forest on the Oregon coast. While heavily forested, the area still offers stunning views, scenery and wildlife. The Cummins Creek Wilderness Area ranges in elevation from 100 to 2,400 feet above sea level. The dramatic elevation changes allow the area to show off many different kinds of vegetation and animal life. Camping allows for longer stays and more exploration. The 6.5 mile long Cummins Ridge Trail bisects the Wilderness, and is the only trail in the wilderness area. It passes through magnificent stands of western hemlock, Sitka spruce and Douglas fir. In the spring and summer, the wilderness area springs forth with the color of rhododendron, elderberry, salmonberry, salal and thousands of wildflowers. The Cummins Creek Wilderness Area is located in the Siuslaw National Forest just north of Florence off Hwy 101. For more information, call (541) 750-7000.

Take a walk on the newly restored boardwalk to the historic 1936 art deco Siuslaw River Drawbridge and see an authentic working fi shing fl eet, boat basin and the Port Marina. Florence and its Old Town District offer a variety of All-American, small-town events throughout the year. You’re likely to fi nd something going on whenever you visit. There are the 4 Days of 4th of July; the Chowder, Blues & Brews Festival; the well-known Florence Rods ‘n’ Rhodies Car Show; an Annual Rhododendron Festival; a moving Veterans’ Day Parade; and a Winter Folk Festival among many other small celebrations.

The lake, just three miles inland from the Pacific Ocean and just south of Florence on Hwy 101, provides excellent opportunities for fishing, boating, swimming and other outdoor activities. The area is part of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, so named because of the fantastic dunes that line the lake. Boats and a variety of watercraft are available for rent. The fishing is spectacular in Woahink Lake, and includes warm-water species such as yellow perch and largemouth bass, as well as cold-water species such as rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, and kokanee. There is a large public swimming area. For the hiker, explore any of the trails in the bordering 522-acre Jesse M. Honeyman State Park. The shaded picnic areas adjacent to the lake are especially pleasant. For more information about any of the activities on Woahink Lake, call (541) 997-3338.

Where good friends meet for great food!

Florence has many things to offer and one of the gemstones is its Siuslaw Pioneer

Museum. It is easily seen from Highway 101 as you arrive at the “Maple Street - Gateway to Old Town Florence”, located in the original old Florence School building at 278 Maple street. Do the Old Town walking tour and experience the ambiance of Florence’s Historic Old Town with its quaint shops and many great restaurants. The museum’s hours are 12 noon to 4 pm, Tuesday through Sunday November through May. During June through October it is open seven days. You are invited to come and see why visitors are saying this is the best little Museum on the Oregon coast, bar none. As you come into the parlor and gift shop, warm and friendly people will greet you and make you feel right at home. You will be directed to display areas where you can see how people made their living and lived in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Upstairs you will see displays of business machines, cameras, rifles, military medals and the original AT&T Switch Board for Florence, taken out of service in 1960. You will also see many Native American Artifacts and one of the most extensive collections of historical pictures collected by one man anywhere. On the covered porch that connects the museum and the library you will find dugout canoes, a real Siuslaw River drag net fishing boat and an interactive display of the original 1936 draw bridge controls.

The coffee is always on and if you time it just right, the cookies may be warm. The library has history files on over 800 families stemming from the Siuslaw Region of the Central Oregon Coast. Call (541) 997-7884 for more information.

The Heceta Head Lighthouse is as quaint and beautiful as it is powerful. The 56-foot tall lighthouse is rated as the brightest light of any of the lighthouses on the Oregon coast—its “first order” Fresnel lens is visible some 21 miles out to sea. The views from the lighthouse are amazing. Since it sits 205 feet above the sea on a jagged and rugged cliff line, its sightline is unobstructed. The Queen Anne-style Keeper’s House has been restored to its original splendor. By day the first floor serves as an Interpretive Center, and the home is a bed and breakfast at night, welcoming guests year-round. Guests are encouraged to visit the lighthouse after dark, a rare experience. A seven-course gourmet breakfast is served each morning, and is included in the price of the room. For further information, contact the Heceta Head Lighthouse Bed and Breakfast, (866) 547-3696.

During the summer months occasional night tours of the lighthouse start at the Heceta Head Lighthouse State Scenic Viewpoint at 9 p.m. and include a walk to the lighthouse to learn about the history of the area and how the lens works. Special Christmas tours are given on two weekends before Christmas. The area surrounding the lighthouse is well-known as an outstanding wildlife area. Common murres lay their eggs on the bare rocks, and can be seen by looking down, just over the railing near the lighthouse. Brown pelicans commonly fly by, as do bald eagles. May is an especially good time to look down on migrating gray whales as the mothers and their calves travel close to shore. Other natural attractions are natural caves, tidepools, and a very attractive sandy beach. In addition, there are plenty of hiking and picnicking areas. This is one trip that will definitely be fun for everyone. The park is located off of Hwy 101 just 13 miles north of Florence. For more information, call (541) 547-3416.

THE COAST - Reedsport & Winchester Bay


The charming towns of Reedsport and Winchester Bay are bound by the Smith and Umpqua Rivers, the Pacifi c Ocean and scores of natural lakes. This area is a perfect setting for all

forms of recreation, and is in the heart of the spectacular Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, the largest area of coastal dunes in North America, with wind-sculptured sand dunes up to 500 feet tall. Stretching for more than 40 miles along the coast, 14,300 acres of the Recreation Area are open to dune and trail riding. Other portions offer hiking trails, camping and day use areas.

Douglas County’s ocean beaches are clean and unspoiled. The Umpqua Lighthouse lookout is a good place to spot migrating gray whales. There are also interpretive displays about the whale’s twice-yearly, 12,000-mile migration.

Salmon Harbor, located in Winchester Bay, is the largest recreational fi shing port on the Or-egon Coast. Whether fi shing for Chinook or Coho salmon, bottom fi sh, freshwater bass, bluegill, steelhead, sturgeon or trout, there’s plenty of good fi shing nearby. The docks are lined with bait and tackle shops, canneries and markets. Shops can provide anglers with information, licenses and equipment.

In Old Town Reedsport, a must-see is the Umpqua Discovery Center, where exhibits and displays focus on the land, water and people that shaped the region. A stroll downtown will lead visitors to shops, art galleries and restaurants. Residents are friendly and glad to offer advice on all there is to see and do in Reedsport and Winchester Bay.

The area is home to ducks and seabirds, and is a seasonal stopover for migrating Canada geese. It is not uncommon to see osprey, bald eagles, great blue herons, beaver and nutria. Binoculars

or spotting scopes can enhance viewing. Interpretive displays designed especially for children teach about animal tracks, the annual shedding of antlers and much more. A herd of elk make their home here, and can sometimes be seen from the Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area.

The beautiful 65-foot-tall Umpqua River Lighthouse guards the entrance to Winchester Bay and offers magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding area. The cur-rent building was completed in 1894, and the lens remains in operation with its distinctive two-white, one-red pattern. The lighthouse is owned by the U.S. Coast Guard and leased to Douglas County. Guided tours are available from May through October. A small museum in the Coast Guard building adjacent to the light-house features historical displays. The Umpqua River Lighthouse is located 6 miles south of Reedsport off Hwy 101. For more information about the lighthouse tours and museum, call (541) 271-4631. Camping is available in the nearby Umpqua River Lighthouse State Park. The park offers overnight camping for RVs and tents as well as a variety of one-room cabins and rustic yurts. For more information, call (541) 271-4118.


Despite its close proximity to Hwy 101, Tugman State Park is relatively unknown — a private hideaway on the wondrous south coast. Located only about one mile from the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, this quaint and rustic area provides everything needed for a relaxing getaway. There is a picnic area that may be reserved, a public access boat ramp and a public fishing dock. The park boasts beautiful campsites tucked away in a strand of mature shore pine, and 16 yurts for lodging available by reservation. The park is located on scenic Eel Lake, excellent for boating, fishing, canoeing, swimming and sailing. The bushy shores provide areas for bass fishing and the lake is full of rainbow trout, steelhead, crappie and Coho salmon as well. You can also hike a great trail that follows the southern side of the lake and traces the many unique coves and inlets that shape the lake. For more information, call (800) 551-6949.


Got Rocks? 80Spend the afternoon in an Oregon lapidary treasure trove. This is a great educational and

entertaining spot for families. Bill and Doris Usrey are rock hounds who are in it for life. They run their unique specialty rock and bead shop, Usrey’s Rock Bin, in Lakeside and have drawn in hobbyists from all over the country as they travel up and down the Oregon Coast. They have “lots and lots of rocks,” according to Doris. There are millions of beads along with cut and polished stones and even more rough rocks for people who want to cut their own. They have a bit of everything mineral,

from magnetic jewelry to amethyst geodes. They have a large selection of rocks native to Oregon including sunstone, opals, agates, jasper, gemstones, thundereggs and of course, gold. Don’t just see something, make something. The Usreys offer lessons on bead stringing and wire wrapping, along with hand tools, grit for rock tumblers and other lapidary equipment for the experienced hound. (They also have an RV storage business onsite.) Usrey’s Rock Bin is next to Tugman State Park at 72445 Hwy 101 in Lakeside. For more information, call (541) 759-2321.

The House of Myrtlewood

This unique section of the Oregon oceanfront is known as Oregon’s Adventure Coast for several reasons, and when you arrive in the area, you will easily see why. With indoor,

outdoor, water-centric sports and nature providing the backdrop for your visit, there are certainly lots of things to do. The Coos Bay Area is comprised of more than one community. Coos Bay (the water, an estuary of several rivers) is dominated by Coos Bay (the city), and its neighbors, North Bend and Charleston.

For a closer look at the waterfront activity, as well as the opportunity to learn about Coos Bay’s ties to the maritime and timber industries—both past and present—take a stroll along the Coos Bay Boardwalk and visit the Interpretive Center located in downtown Coos Bay, at 50 Central Avenue, (541) 269-0215 or (800) 824-8486. www.oregonsadventurecoast.com

Coos Bay is the largest city on the Oregon Coast and is the area’s commercial and cultural hub. There are many intriguing restaurants, gourmet coffeehouses, bookstores, antique shops, gift shops and comfortable lodging. Just about anything the traveler might require is available in this unique community. North Bend is situated on the north bend of the bay and the town is surrounded on three sides by the waters of Coos Bay. Downtown North Bend today offers a variety of restaurants and shops to explore.

The Conde B. McCullouch Memorial Bridge dominates much of the skyline in North Bend, and the surrounding areas that front Coos Bay. This cantilevered bridge is in excess of one mile long, and at 150 feet high, allows large ships to pass below. At the time it was built it in 1936, it was one of the most expensive, and certainly the longest bridge in Oregon. It is considered remarkable because its architect, Conde McCullouch, focused on architectural beauty in lieu of the typically unpleasant appearance of cantilevered bridges. With its soaring spans and elegant arches, it is the offi cial symbol of North Bend.

Immediately north of Coos Bay is the southern boundary of the extensive Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, administered by the Siuslaw National Forest. The dunes are the largest expanse of coastal dunes in North America—wind-sculpted dunes that tower up to 500 feet above sea level. The area’s recreational opportunities include hiking, photography, fi sh-

ing, canoeing, horseback riding, camping and off-highway vehicle use. Visitors can enjoy thick “tree islands” that are remnants of buried coastal forests, as well as open dunes, marsh-like defl ation plains and beaches. For further information, contact the Siuslaw National Forest at (541) 750-7000.

Hike to Two Waterfalls 86Regardless of size, waterfalls are wonderful attrac-

tions. Golden Falls and Silver Falls are no exception. Located northeast of Coos Bay, these two hidden wonders cascade 100 feet into crystal clear pools. The water crashes down onto moss covered rocks and numerous kinds of wildlife roam around in the heart of nature. There is a path that allows hikers to reach the top of Golden Falls for a view of the forest. Fishing is allowed. Have a picnic in the shade of maple, alder and Oregon myrtle trees. Then take a hike through scenic canyons filled with old-growth myrtle and Douglas fir until reach-ing the falls. The Golden and Silver Falls State Natural Area may be difficult to find, but it is well worth the 24-mile journey northeast of Coos Bay. To get to the park, follow Hwy 241 east from Coos Bay, through Allegheny to the park. For more information, call (800) 551-6949.

Ride on the Dunes at North Bend 88

Tenmile Lakes—actually two natural lakes connected by a manmade channel—are the perfect place for swimming, sailing, fishing, water skiing, boating or anything having to do with water. The 2,000-acre Tenmile Lakes are one of Oregon’s most popular water spots, with superb year-round fishing for large mouth bass, trout, crappie, bluegill and catfish. The lakes are unique because they drain almost directly into the ocean via Tenmile Creek, which provides great steelhead runs in the spring and fall. Make a picnic lunch and go down to one of the many tables or shelters. There are areas for swimming and wading. One day might not be enough to enjoy everything these

lakes have to offer, so park the RV or pitch a tent at one of the many campgrounds. The lakes are located 10 miles north of Coos Bay on Hwy 101. For more information, call (541) 759-3981.

Learn About Coos County History 89Pioneers first settled in Coos Bay in 1853. Less than 40 years later in 1891, the Coos County

Historical Society was founded. The society operates the museum, where you can learn about Coos County and its industries of logging, shipping and mining. At the entrance of the museum is a “steam donkey,” which was used to haul logs cut down for industrial use. Inside the museum, you will find many artifacts from native tribes and a variety of displays showing how early white settlers lived. The Coos County Historical Society Museum is located at 1220 Sherman Avenue, in Simpson Park. For more information, call (541) 756-6320.

Check Out Cape Arago State Park & Lighthouse 90Cape Arago State Park may be at the end of the Cape Arago Hwy, about 15 miles southwest

of Coos Bay, but it can be the beginning of your experience exploring this very scenic part of the Oregon Coast. The Cape itself is one of the most scenic headlands to be found on this section of the Oregon coast, and was first sighted by European explorers in the late 1500s, by Sir Francis Drake’s expedition. However, even in the early 1500s the site had long been used by Native Americans.The South Cove Trail will take you down to a sandy beach and superior tidepools where you can see many intertidal plants and animals—but please enjoy them with your eyes only. The North Cove Trail provides access to favorite fishing, beachcombing and viewing sites for offshore colonies of seals and sea lions at Shell Island. The trail is closed March 1 to June 30 to protect seal pups. The

park also offers picnic tables, gazebos and restrooms. The park is free and open year-round. The Cape Arago Light is found on Cape Arago Hwy, at the entrance to Coos Bay. If you would like more informa-tion about the lighthouse, call the U.S. Coast Guard at (541) 756-9669. For more information about Cape Arago State Park, call (800) 551-6949.www.oregonstateparks.org/park_94.php

According to local residents, the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area is the place to go ATVing or dune buggy riding. The Recreation Area stretches for 40 miles along the coast from Florence to Coos Bay and North Bend. The dunes vary in size, some even as high as 500 feet above sea level, and because of the wind, the dunes change from day to day to create some of the most amazing terrain. However, the Recreation Area is not just dunes. There are also forested trails and over 10 miles of exquisite beach that all can be accessed with an ATV.

Your adventure can begin at Spinreel Dune Buggy & ATV Rentals, located at 67045 Spinreel Road in North Bend, (541) 759-3313.

Take Cape Arago Hwy south and in a few minutes you will find yourself in the paradox that is Shore Acres State Park. Here a rugged and pristine seashore contrasts with the cultivated beauty of carefully tended gardens. The dramatic and wild seascape is complimented by the orderly Victorian gardens. Stroll down the trail to Simpson Cove, a secluded inlet where turbulent waves crash into weathered rocks, or skirt the cliffs on the trail above and stop at the overlook to watch sea lions cavort. In season, the overlook also provides an observation point for migrating whales. Friends of Shore Acres sponsors a half dozen botanical events annually, from mid-April through late September. From Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve the gardens are ablaze in holiday lights. A fully enclosed observation building with excellent views of the sea offers a comfortable vantage point. Shore Acres State Park is near the end of Cape Arago Hwy, 12 miles southwest of Coos Bay, (541) 888-2472.

Bandon-by-the-Sea is one of the most charming seaport villages on the Oregon Coast. Located near the mouth of the Coquille River and overlooking the Pacifi c Ocean, it is surrounded

by natural beauty. Visitors to Bandon will fi nd modern oceanfront motels, romantic bed and breakfast inns, convenient and comfortable campgrounds and quality restaurants. They will also fi nd a mild, temperate climate, a burgeoning artist’s colony and shopping, from bargain to upscale. The waterfront is now beautifully restored as an artist/tourist district known as Old Town. Old Town has charming cafes, art galleries and studios, a bookstore with a great inventory, candy stores and unique shops as well.

Across the street from the shops and eateries, visitors can see the bustling traffi c of Ban-don’s port. Bandon’s docks provide moorage for commercial and recreational boats, a boat ramp and access to 26 miles of the Coquille River for fi shing, crabbing, canoeing, kayaking and boating of all types. Several operators offer river and ocean charters, and anglers will fi nd excellent salmon and steelhead fi shing in the Coquille, plus surf perch, kelp greenling, ling cod, fl ounder and surf smelt from the South Jetty. Right across the river is one of the most picturesque—and thus most photographed, drawn and painted—landmarks of the area, the Coquille River Lighthouse. The lighthouse was built in 1896 and celebrated its centennial with proper pomp and circumstance in 1996. As a designated historic site, it is open to the public and houses an exhibit of its colorful past.

There are nine state and county parks within 15 miles of Bandon. They offer miles of beaches for beachcombing, tidepooling, jogging, storm watching, kite-fl ying, picnicking and fi shing. Local outfi tters will take visitors on an invigorating horseback ride along the beach or on forested trails. A drive along Beach Loop Road will take visitors past Bandon Rocks, Bandon Ocean Wayside and Bandon State Park, all offering beach access and spectacular views of off-shore sea stacks. Across the river to the north is a great view of the aforementioned Coquille River Lighthouse.

Along the highways near Bandon travelers can see the cranberry bogs that make Bandon the “Cranberry Capital of Oregon.” Bandon farmers have been growing and harvesting the crop for more than 100 years. Bandon berries are especially valued for their rich, red color and are used extensively in creating the deep color of Ocean Spray cranberry juice products, as well as in making unique candies. For more than 60 years the city has celebrated the cranberry crop with a Cranberry Festival.

Visit Bullard’s Beach & Coquille River Lighthouse 95In 1896, the Coquille River Lighthouse was built at the mouth of the Coquille River. The light-

house with its fourth order Fresnel lens was decommissioned in 1939, then was vandalized and fell into disrepair. However, through community involvement, the Oregon State Parks and Army Corps of Engineers have restored the lighthouse to its former glory and original beauty. Today, there is a highly informative guided tour of the lighthouse from May through October. Access to the lighthouse is through Bullard’s Beach State Park, just two miles north of Bandon on Hwy 101. The park is endowed with grassy fields, lowland for-ests, bike paths, over four miles of beach, and is a popular place for horseback riding. There are campgrounds as well. For more information, call (541) 347-2209.

Explore the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge Wildlife Refuge Wildlife Refuge Wildlife Refuge Wildlife Refuge Wildlife Refuge Wildlife Refuge 96

The Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge provides sanctuary for 1.2 million nesting seabirds on 1,853 picturesque rocks, reefs and islands along the Oregon coast. From nearly every viewpoint on the Oregon coast, colossal rocks can be seen jutting out of the Pacific Ocean creating postcard images. Each of these rocks is protected as part of Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge. A wide variety of birds and mammals including puffins, oyster catchers, seals and sea lions, which use the areas for breeding, can be observed.

A spectacular place to observe seabirds and harbor seals, as well as explore the beach, is Coquille Point, a mainland unit of the Refuge. The point overlooks offshore rocks that provide habitat for Common Murre, Tufted Puffin, Western Full and Brandt’s Cormorant, as well as harbor seals and intertidal invertebrates. A paved trail makes its way over the headlands and features interpretive panels that provide insight about the area’s wildlife and its rich Native American history. Stairs on opposite sides of the headland allow visitors to make a loop on the beach (tides permitting). Coquille Point can be accessed by taking Hwy 101 and turning west on 11th St. in Bandon, but other parts of the refuge can be seen from all along the highway. For more information and directions to the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge, call (541) 867-4550.

The Old Town Dock offers crabbing and fishing opportunities, considered to be some of the best on the coast. Bait and tackle needs are met at Port of Call, Bandon Bait & Tackle, or Prowler Charters (where reservations for fishing can also be made). A number of area restaurants will serve up your catch, and offer robust menus to tide you over if the fish aren’t biting. Charter boats are available in Bandon to carry sport fishermen out onto the water, or catch Dungeness crab right off the pier. In these waters you’ll also find steelhead, salmon, halibut and sturgeon. Surf fishermen can cast their lines for Perch right on the beach. For more information on angling opportunities, lodging and activities in Bandon, contact the Visitor Center at (541) 347-9616.

Bird Watch at a National Wildlife Refuge 93For bird watchers, the Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge is a “must do.” The refuge sits at

the mouth of the Coquille River, located just north of Bandon on Riverside Drive off Hwy 101. Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge protects the largest remaining tidal salt marsh within the Coquille River estuary. This 712-acre refuge is an oasis for migrating shorebirds, waterfowl and endangered birds. This may be the premium shorebird site on the Oregon Coast. Thousands of shorebirds of numerous species are routinely found here, and peak counts have reached 60,000. An observation deck allows viewing of species such as sandpipers, whimbrel, dunlin, California brown pelican and bald eagle. Stairs lead down to the mudflats. The observation areas are open daily from sunrise to sunset. For more information, call (541) 347-1470.

Taste Local Cranberries 94Get to know the surprising cranberry in Bandon. Cranberries may be linked in the public mind

to the flinty shores of New England and the bogs of Wisconsin, but they also love Bandon, Oregon, where they thrive in the sandy soil and mild climate. Bandon loves its favorite fruit, honoring it annually with an Annual Cranberry Festival that’s been going on since 1947. The festivities begin in early September and are just a warm-up to the main event, the October-long harvest. If you’re a fan of these tart little not-really-berries, Bandon is the place to go. Bandon’s Cranberry Festival takes place on the second weekend in September. The event features a blessing of the harvest, crafts, food, music, a street fair in Old Town Bandon, the Queen’s Coronation, Grand Parade, Lions BBQ, Bandon Dunes Golf Resort Golf Challenge and the Cranberry Bowl Football game. For more information on Oregon “crans,” visit

www.oregoncoastcranberries.com.

Visit the Farmers Market 100Shop at a fabulous Farmers Market. Known as one of the best little organic markets south of

Seattle, the Bandon Little Farmers Market in Old Town Bandon has gained a reputation that seems to be approaching its capacity for output. It features around a dozen or so vendors and offers seasonal fruits, vegetables and even locally produced lamb. It opens at 10 a.m. on the dot and is open until 2 p.m., if farmers have enough produce to stay that late; often booths are sold out hours earlier. The Bandon Little Farmers Market is a non-profit organization run by the Bandon Organic Growers Association (BOG). Vendors are not charged for booth space and are all organic (unless vendors are visitors, and otherwise posted). The vendors range in age from 8 to 80, with the youngest a Farmers Market veteran specializing in tomatoes and carrots. The Market runs from the first Saturday after the Fourth of July until around mid-September, closing the weekend after the Cranberry Festival, and happens rain or shine. It is located at 350 2nd Street SW, in Old Town Bandon in the courtyard of Tea by the Sea, under Bandon’s famous archway. For more information, call (541) 347-9081.

Experience the Breathtaking Beaches of Bandon 98If you’re driving along the Oregon coast, you’ll want to make a point

of spending at least one day in Bandon to take in the full beauty of the beach. Walk along the beach or take a leisurely drive along Beach Loop Drive and you’ll be amazed at the unique and stunning views. Bandon beaches include some of the most gorgeous and spectacular rock forma-tions. Keep your camera handy for shots of these most interesting craggy sea stacks. Look for Table Rock, the Garden of the Gods, Elephant Rock and Cat & Kittens Rock.

The most famous and stunning forma-tion is known as Face Rock. Local legend says that Face Rock is the face of an Indian maiden that was frozen into stone by an evil spirit. Legend also says that Cat & Kit-tens Rock had been her animals who were thrown into the sea and turned to stone by the same evil spirit. Bandon is likely one of the most beautiful beaches along the Oregon coast and shouldn’t be missed.

In 1936, a devastating fire spread throughout the small town of Bandon and only a few buildings survived. These 19th century buildings can be found in the recently renovated Old Town District. A brick chimney on the site of the old bakery stands as a memorial just off Hwy 101. The Sprague Theatre is the venue for live-theater productions. A visitors information center is located at the entrance to Old Town near the welcome arches. This district is a haven for local artists, galleries and quaint gift shops. There are numerous places to grab a bite to eat, from restaurants to coffee shops. The city park is a venue for many varied activities throughout the year. Down by the water you will encounter windsurfers, fishermen and crabbers, and there is ample access to picturesque beaches. For more information, call the Visitors Center at (541) 347-9616, located at 300 Second St, Old Town Bandon.

Southern Oregon’s Josephine and Jackson Counties are east of Curry County and offer warmer summertime temperatures, winter skiing, whitewater excitement, wineries and Shake-

speare performances. The major communities of these counties are situated along Interstate 5. Small, charming villages can be found along east-west routes such as Hwy 199 and Hwy 62.

Just north of the California/Oregon border is Brookings, the southernmost town in Oregon’s Curry County. It offers many retail amenities and is near spectacular coastal parks such as Harris Beach and Samuel H. Boardman State Parks.

Farther north, Gold Beach and the tiny village of Wedderburn fl ank the mouth of the Rogue River, where fi shing is a major activity year-round. The Rogue is also well known for its jet boat trips.

Since 1895, the Rogue River Mail boat Trips have been delivering the U.S. mail up the Rogue River to the remote community of Agness. This rural river mail route remains one of the few in existence in the United States. Presently, from May through October the mail is delivered by boat, and the other six months by 4-wheel drive. They also take these powerful boats fi lled with 40 to 70 people up the wild and scenic Rogue River. Mail Boats and Jerry’s Rogue Jets have joined forces on the Lower Rogue River. Find them at the Port of Gold Beach. Call Jerry’s Rogue Jets at (800) 451-3645 for more information.

www.roguejets.comGold Beach is also one of the Northwest’s choice bases for launching yourself into white-

water jet boating, kayaking, windsurfi ng, wilderness mountain hiking or biking, or maybe just seeing an eagle, otter or bear in the wild. Beach Resort at Turtle Rock offers beautiful sunsets, magnifi cent whale watching, joyful otters and ocean breezes. The oceanside resort on the southern end of Gold Beach has ocean beach vacation rentals with full accommodations, and large full hook up RV sites. For more information, call (800) 353-9754.

NATURAL. ROGUE RIVER. LEGENDS.

This summer discoverthe magic in

Grants Pass, Oregon.

Raft, fish, hike, and explorethe legendary

wild & scenic Rogue River.

California’s northernmost coastal county—Del Norte—contains miles of unspoiled beaches and rivers famous for salmon and steelhead. Most of the communities in the county are

situated along coastal Hwy 101. Del Norte County is located 366 miles north of San Francisco via Hwy 101 and 383 miles south of Portland via Interstate 5 and Hwy 199. Towering redwood forests can be seen in Redwood National Park, Jedediah Smith State Park and Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park.

Just 13 miles south of the California/Oregon border, is the tiny, quiet agricultural com-munity of Smith River. The majestic Smith River fl ows to the ocean and offers a number of recreational activities, including rafting, inner tubing, kayaking, fi shing and more. Each year, several hundred acres of lily bulbs are planted in Smith River and, along with Brookings to the north, account for 90 percent of the Easter lilies sold in the nation during the holidays.

Further south, Crescent City (population 7,000) is the county seat and Del Norte’s largest city. The Redwood National and State Parks Visitor Center is located at 1111 Second St. At-tractions include Battery Point Lighthouse, Crescent City Harbor, scenic drives, public fi shing piers, a history museum and the Elk Valley Casino. The town also has a wide variety of stores, restaurants, RV Parks and lodging facilities.

Rogue River in Agness, photo by Steve Hammons

At the crossroads of Hwy 101 and County Road 595 in Gold Beach, many travelers zipping along don’t realize what making that turnoff could do for them. County 595 becomes Agness Road after about 20 miles, and leads to the small town of its namesake, Agness. The world famous Rogue River runs right through the center of town. Located where the Rogue National Wild and Scenic River area, and the Illinois Wild and Scenic River area connect, the 35-mile drive is slow-going, but full of beauty. Travelers can stop many times along the way.

Singing Springs Resort in Agness offers Rogue River visitors hospitality, fi ne food, casual overnight accommodations and an escape from the hustle of everyday life. They feature expe-rienced driftboat operators and fi shing guides on the Rogue. For information and reservations for the Singing Springs Resort experience, call (877) 330-3777.

www.singingspringsresort.com Highway 199 travels east out of Crescent City, California and into Josephine County. The

picturesque highway is known as the Smith River Scenic Byway along the portions that parallel the Wild and Scenic waterway of that name. After crossing into Josephine County, the road leads to Cave Junction, a cozy community named for the nearby Oregon Caves National Monu-ment. Several family-run wineries offer tastings just off Hwy 46, which leads to the caves and its historic chateau. Tours of the caves are available March through November.

Further east, Highway 199 intersects with Interstate 5 at the Josephine County seat of Grants Pass (population 23,000). The city is also situated on the Rogue River and local outfi t-ters offer jet boat trips, as well as raft and kayak excursions. Josephine County sits amidst the foothills of the Cascade, Siskiyou and Coast mountains, so hiking, fi shing, picnicking and other outdoor activities are abundant. The Grants Pass Visitors Center will provide historic walking tour brochures.

www.visitgrantspass.org Thirty miles southeast of Grants Pass is

Medford, the county seat of Jackson County. Medford, with a population close to 64,000, is one of the largest cities in Southern Oregon. At the north end of Medford, Highway 62 intersects with Interstate 5 and leads northeast to Crater Lake National Park. Medford has a vast array of dining, lodging and shopping opportunities.

A visitor center is located at the Country Village complex, which can be reached by traveling west on Barnett Road from Exit 27 off Interstate 5. Other attractions include the Southern Oregon History Center and the Craterian Ginger Rogers Theatre, both in the downtown district.

Ten miles south of Medford is Ashland, known internationally as the home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. The town has maintained and honored many of its historic homes and commercial buildings. Next to the town plaza is beautiful Lithia Park with 100 acres of gardens, duck ponds, grass and trails enjoyed by all who visit. South of town is the Mt. Ashland ski area, which offers day and night skiing and snowboarding. Its 23 runs are served by four chairlifts.

.Humboldt County is a haven for travelers and residents alike. It boasts half the remaining old growth redwoods, including the world’s tallest trees; 160 miles of unspoiled beaches,

much of them along the fabled Lost Coast; as well as bustling seaports, quaint farming com-munities and historic fishing villages. Everywhere in the county, travelers will find exceptional accommodations, fine restaurants, a multitude of shopping and numerous campgrounds.

The county is situated on the Northern California coast 90 miles south of the Oregon border. The largest towns are adjacent to Hwy 101. The county is 200 miles north of San Francisco and 350 miles south of Portland.

In northern Humboldt, Orick is the gateway to Redwood National Park, home of the world’s tallest trees. Many notable redwoods are along the Newton B. Drury Parkway, a short stretch of old Hwy 101. Orick has its own distinctive products to sell, such as redwood burl furniture and sculptures. California Native Woods has an incredible inventory of finished and unfinished burlwoods with easy access off Hwy 101. For more information, call (707) 488-5155.

Just south of the park is the fishing village of Trinidad, which overlooks a beautiful sheltered harbor. Ten miles south along Hwy 101, McKinleyville has the Arcata-Eureka Airport, the county’s only commercial airport. A few miles south is Arcata, home to Humboldt State University and a unique marsh and wildlife area that serves as a natural wastewater treatment system.

East of Arcata, along Hwy 299 is sunny Willow Creek, known for recreation along the Trinity Rivers, and as the birthplace of Bigfoot.

Eight miles south of Arcata is the Victorian seaport of Eureka on Humboldt Bay, which offers kayaking, fishing and wildlife watching. There are harbor tours aboard the M.V. Madaket, and the Woodley Island Marina is a great spot to enjoy a panoramic view of the waterfront.

Eureka is the county seat and contains many fine examples of Victorian architecture, par-ticularly along the waterfront in Old Town, which includes the ornate Carson Mansion, one of the most photographed buildings in California. Eureka’s population of nearly 28,000 makes it the largest coastal city between San Francisco and the Oregon border.

Eureka has many excellent restaurants, cafes, specialty shops and lodging facilities. The city is also known for its large and active arts community. In fact, Humboldt County has the distinction of having more artists per capita than any other of the state’s 58 counties.

Further south, five miles west of Hwy 101, is the Victorian Village of Ferndale. The entire town has been named a State Historical Landmark because of its outstanding preservation of commercial buildings and residences.

Seven miles southeast is the sunny inland town of Fortuna, or the Friendly City. Right along Hwy 101, it has many newer hotels and an attractive community lodge overlooking the Eel River. East of Fortuna along State Hwy 36 is Grizzly Creek State Park, a favorite for hiking, camping and summer sun.

Further south on Hwy 101 is Scotia, an historic timber mill town. In southern Humboldt, Hwy 101 and nearby roads are lined by some of the finest examples of old growth redwoods. From Redcrest south to Phillipsville, motorists can detour along the renowned Avenue of the Giants, a 31-mile stretch of two-lane road that parallels Hwy 101 and winds through stands of huge redwoods along the Eel River.

Humboldt Redwoods State Park, which is located along the Avenue of the Giants, covers more than 51,000 acres. The park includes the Rockefeller Forest, the largest single stand of virgin redwoods. After leaving the avenue, the traveler will once again be on Hwy 101.

A jaunt east on side roads that exit Hwy 101 will lead travelers to the King Range National Conservation Area and the legendary Lost Coast. This adventure leads to hamlets such as Hidden Valley, Whitethorn, and ultimately ends at the town of Shelter Cove.

Near the southern county line, 9 miles south of Garberville, Richardson Grove State Park is a magnificent 2,000 acres of redwoods. The state acquired the area in the early 1920s, making it one of the oldest state parks in California.

For more information, contact the Humboldt County Convention & Visitors Bureau, 1034 2nd St., Eureka, (800) 346-3482.
