Needless to say, it’s a strange time for travel.
The coronavirus pandemic has upended virtually every aspect of our lives, including where we travel, who we travel with, and what we do when we get there. The pandemic canceled most of our travel plans in 2020, and trying to predict what 2021 will look like is futile.
All the confusion makes local and regional travel that much more appealing.
This year is a perfect opportunity to explore parts of Oregon and Washington you’ve never seen, the places you’ve always meant to go, and the attractions you never knew were there. Take the time to see the more remote reaches of our region or see sights close by that you’ve somehow always missed.
