True West Magazine
The summer of 2021 is a great time to travel across these Old West highways.
The West is a grand place to travel, and its many highways and back-country roads are a great way to enjoy its natural wonders, monuments and parks, historic towns and destination getaways. Since last year’s national pandemic shutdown, our hospitality, museum and tourism travel partners across the West have been eagerly awaiting the return of travelers. We believe the summer of 2021 is a wonderful time to get back on the road and enjoy the scenic beauty, cultural heritage and welcoming communities of the Western United States.
Ski, snowshoe, and soak in the tranquil beauty of Eastern Oregon The mountains are calling and I must go is one of my favorite John Muir quotes. Written in a letter to his sister in 1873, his words echoed in my mind during a recent visit to the Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort outside of Baker City, named for William Doc Anthony, a farmer and doctor, who homesteaded in the area in 1864. Located 19 miles west of North Powder Exit 285 off I-84, ALMR feels like a locals ski area but attracts skiers from across the region.
