Spend a quick two hours cruising south on Interstate 5 from Portland and you can follow the Willamette River for more than 100 miles (161 kilometers) all the way to Eugene. But such a speedy tour only gives you a blurry glance at Oregon’s most bountiful region. The full picture won’t come into view until you pull o the main roads and ease your foot o the pedal. Cruise along quiet lanes lined with farms and fields, ride your bike to world-class wineries and laid-back tasting rooms, walk through historic city centers, hike leafy trails to misty waterfalls—the list goes on. How you explore the Willamette Valley’s diverse landscapes—and for how long—is up to you. Just arrive with a thirst for something new and an appetite for adventure.
