Show Notes
A lot can happen in 100 years. In the century years since Oregon christened its first state park, the system has transformed into a global attraction.
On this week’s episode of the Peak Northwest podcast, Jamie and Vickie discuss the state parks system’s place in society today and ponder where Oregon goes from here.
Here are some highlights from this week’s show:
· The founding history – including Sarah Helmick State Recreation Site, the first state park
· How cars played a critical role from the outset
· The hard times and the good times, money wise
· How Instagram is playing a role today
