Show Notes
Oregon’s state parks saw more visitors than ever in 2021, but not all parks were packed with people.
Among the least-visited state park sites – generally tiny waysides or out-of-the-way parks – there are plenty of overlooked attractions. From waterfalls to ocean beaches and high desert wonders, these stunning parks deserve a little more attention.
On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we dig into five overlooked state parks in Oregon, discussing how, when and why you should pay them a visit.
Here are some highlights from this week’s show:
- Two high desert destinations in central Oregon offer fascinating geologic attractions and beautiful trails.
- An overlooked park in the Columbia Gorge is a good jumping-off point for nearby adventures.
- Humbug Mountain is easy to miss, but definitely worth a stop on the southern Oregon coast.
- Golden and Silver Falls is a waterfall wonderland, buried deep in the coastal mountains of southwest Oregon.
