SUMMER ADVENTURES IN THE PNW

Summers are meant for creating new adventures with great company. Exploring the PNW has been on my bucket list for a while now, and this summer was the perfect time to hit the road to find all the best spots in Oregon. – @tiffpenguin

We started off this epic trip in Portland with a solid meal and Oregon’€™s finest ice cream. We then headed to the Oregon Coast where we found some of the most picturesque beaches the PNW has to offer. From there, we headed to Columbia River Gorge for a few days. This place is overflowing with dozens of waterfalls in such a small area of Oregon.

One of my favorite parts of the trip was definitely hiking through Oneonta Gorge. We climbed over logjams and waded through chest deep water to get to the falls, but it was well worth the icy bath. As we head south, we explored even more waterfalls, caught some stunning views of Mt. Hood reflecting over Trillium Lake, and enjoyed the epicness of Crater Lake. After 7 days of exploring Oregon, it’€™s safe to say we’ll definitely be back soon for some more adventuring!
