Leaf Peeping in Oregon

Following in the Footsteps of History 

 

Mt Pisgah Fall  The first bite of Fall is in the air. Foliage throughout Oregon is starting to explode into color, splattering shades of gold, red, orange and bright screaming yellow all over the landscape. It's simply and completely breathtaking. We've rounded up details on  

12 of our favorite places on Oregon's lakes  

and rivers to go on a leaf peeping tour -  

by hike, by bike, by kayak or car.

Destinations include the Wallowa Mountains, Deschutes River, Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway, Klamath Lake, the McKenzie River Trail and more. Get the details, links and maps, here
