With the upcoming long holiday weekend, M and I are thinking about road trips. We are in this area of the country that is brand new to us, and we're eager to explore not just our new home city, but also our new home region.
In Southern Oregon, there's a ton of natural beauty to experience, so there's a few "must see" places that folks immediately recommend: Crater Lake National Park, for one. The Rogue River and its surrounding parks and hiking trails are another. We have been glad to get so many good suggestions from people who know the area well.
But what about the broader region? We're looking for suggestions of one- or two-day trips, nothing involving a car trip so long it will feel too much like our recent cross-country trip. We'd love to see the geographical diversity of our new state, and we also want to see the Pacific Ocean. Which Oregon/Northern California beach town is best? Any cities in Southern Washington worth a visit? Eastern Oregon, what about places over that way? (Please do not disclose the location of anyone in the witness protection program, though.)
And while we're at it, what's the best way to go visit Seattle? Plane, train, or automobile? (Or hoverboard, a la Marty McFly?)
Basically, how shall we spend our long summer weekends? Give us some suggestions. All ideas are good ideas.
