Peak Northwest

How to make the most of an Oregon summer


Listen Later

Summertime in Oregon is magical. But between the coastal beaches, the ice cream shops, the wine country getaways and the mountain views, how is anybody supposed to see it all?

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we discuss a few of the best ways to make the most of an Oregon summer, from one of the best Mt. Hood hikes to some of the best cities to explore on foot.

No matter how you approach it, the important thing is to release the expectation of doing it all. Even the most ambitious summer road trip won’t get you to all the most beautiful and interesting destinations in Oregon.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

  • This Mount Hood hike is a perfect place to see the mountain.
  • How to explore Portland on a budget.
  • Why the coast is everybody’s go-to summer getaway.
  • A controversial take on how to visit Oregon’s wine country.
