Road Trip

A Profile of Eagle Rock Lodge

Time.

The only memories we keep are moments in time, as the days and weeks pass by. Years stretch out in our wake, disappearing like quiet ripples in time.

I know a place, though, where time slows down. There, in a little pocket of tranquility on the McKenzie River, surrounded by lush gardens, sits Eagle Rock Lodge. Ensconced in your exquisite room, with a fireplace and view of the river, you'll find yourself in the good care of innkeepers Debbie and Randy Dersham. Your only critical decisions for the next few days will be what to do first: read a good book, hike or mountain bike the mountain trails, or fish the world-class river.

Innkeeping is not a lost art, I'm happy to report. Anyone who has stayed at a "chain" hotel understands the difference between people and people people. The Dershams are the latter, greeting you with complimentary wine in the evenings and warm cookies at bedtime. READ MORE

Tamolitch Oregon AdventuristAny photo of Tamolitch Pool is attention-grabbing, but trust me: this is a spot you must see in person. Amid all the fantastic sights along the McKenzie River Trail, Tamolitch Pool (a.k.a. the Blue Pool) is the one that seems truly magical. It's nearly impossible not to stop for a while to take in the blue, to try and find the source of the water, and to debate how best to hike down to the pool for a closer look.  READ MORE

Gear Review

JakPac
By Scott Staats
Oregon Lakes & RIvers' GEAR HEAD

JakPac 2It's a jacket, it's a tent, it's a sleeping bag - it's super garment. I've always said that I like gear that has more than one use and the new JakPak certainly meets that standard. I must also say that I've never considered wearing a tent or sleeping in my jacket. The all-in-one design incorporates a waterproof, breathable jacket with an integrated tent, mosquito netting and sleeping bag. READ MORE

A Book We Like

With big, beautiful photography and compelling narrative, Riverwater is "a coffee-table book with attitude," wresting with questions of the future along side stories of the past, and images spanning the decades. A treasure, this book.
