Grant's Getaways

Some of the best adventures can be found in our own backyards! Here’s one that’s best tucked away for later use when travel is OK. We took our home on the road in the Mt. Hood National Forest and found an easy to reach campground at Timothy Lake.

The Owyhee River Country is often called Oregon’s Grand Canyon. My adventure of a lifetime revealed a sprawling area, unmatched for its gigantic spectacles along a secluded and pristine river where the the sound of water rushing through boulder-strewn rapids stirred my senses and satisfied my soul.

Grant takes us to Lincoln County where he gets a behind the scenes look at the science of measuring wildlife numbers during the peak of springtime shorebird migration.

Grant tells the story of an adventure into the distant Southeast Oregon region known as "Owyhee Country" that includes a peek into cattle ranch life and a visit to a real western ghost town that you can visit today.

Grant shares one of his favorite fatherhood stories from a time when his kids were young and one in particular needed help with a school science project. The experience found Grant and his son at Bonneville Hatchery in the Columbia Rive Gorge to see the Dinosaurs with Fins.

Grant launches his first podcast with a story of how it all began, reaching back to his childhood days and then he takes us on the road for a wonderful getaway along Oregon's Alsea River.
