CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: MELANIE GRIFFIN; COURTESY OF THE GORDON HOTEL; MELANIE GRIFFIN; JUMPING ROCKS PHOTOGRAPHY SPRING Spring is a busy time in Eugene, with plenty of track and field events throughout the season and into the summer. Place yourself in the heart of the action by booking a stay at Hayward Inn, a 10-minute walk from the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field, where many of the city’s running events are staged. On the southern banks of the Willamette River, Tru by Hilton Eugene is another great choice, offering cheery rooms that invoke the spring with bright-blue accents and — from many rooms — tree-canopy views. SUMMER Make vacation memories on the Oregon Coast, where you can camp or spend the night in a yurt at Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park, or treat yourself to a few more creature comforts at the River House Inn in the heart of Historic Old Town Florence. For a forest getaway on the banks of the McKenzie River, head to Eagle Rock Lodge in Vida. If you’ve come for the annual Oregon Bach Festival, consider the art-filled Gordon Hotel, which makes a great option for concertgoers as it’s right by the Hult Center for Performing Arts.
