Oregon Road Trip

Hiking in the Low-Lands of Oregon      

Five Winter River Trails  

  

Deschute River Friends of Col Gorge The weather all over Oregon these days is showing more signs of spring than winter. Which is bad news if you're hoping to cross-country ski to the grocery store. But, if you're willing to stay low, say, along a river trail, you're in business.

We've rounded up five of Oregon's low-ground hiking trails, which are perfect for an outdoor jaunt this time of year. READ MORE.    

And, with the statewide Oregon Brewery Tours this weekend, you can cap off your hike with a brewery tour and a frosty mug of suds. (See Featured Events, below.) Cheers!
