Forest Hike

Looking for a complete Pacific Northwest experience?

Oregon is approximately 1/3 smaller than modern Germany, yet has about 1/25 the population. In Europe you would concentrate on culture and museums. Here in America, our greatest treasures are works of nature, not works of man. Oregon is blessed with lots of natural beauty. Plus, we live here and we want to show it off!

Discover Oregon Tour:
Best of Oregon & the Redwoods!

There's hiking almost everyday: an old growth forest, a coastal rain forest, a mile of the Oregon Trail, on a beach, to an ocean bluff, and among the towering redwoods, for example. Other explorations include a wilderness alpine lake, up to 19 waterfalls, and a small town with great theatre, art galleries, restaurants, and shops. Most hikes are easy to moderate. Boat rentals are available at some of the stops. Driving is every other day, with free time for relaxed exploration on non-driving days.

Meals: Provided meals are listed for each day below as (B) breakfast, (L) lunch, and (D) dinner. 14 meals will be provided as follows: 10 breakfasts, 2 lunches, and 2 dinners. Since the tour concentrates on the natural beauty of Oregon, we won't be hanging out near restaurants. Tour participants will be making their own picnic lunches and providing most of their dinners and breakfasts. A community charcoal grill will be provided nightly for ease of dinner preparations. We believe ticketed events which require advance reservations are a better tour value than restaurant meals. Itinerary is subject to change.
