I put a lot of time into planning my pal’s visit to Oregon. I know it can be really difficult to come up with things to do when people visit (although that doesn’t seem to be much of a struggle here in Oregon), so I compiled an easy itinerary of all the big stuff we did during her July visit. Our home base was Eugene, and everything was within about 3 1/2 hours from here.
Breakfast at Humble Bagel
Hiking Spencer’s Butte
Hendricks Park
Dinner at Pizza Research Institute
Breakfast at Hideaway Bakery in Eugene
Hiking at Tamolitch Pool, Sahalie Falls, Koosah Falls, and Proxy Falls
Whale watching tour in Depoe Bay
Lunch at Local Ocean in Newport
Seal Rock State Recreation Site
Devil’s Elbow State Park
Heceta Head Lighthouse
Milkshakes at Shari’s in Eugene
Historic Columbia River Highway
Portland Women’s Forum State Scenic Viewpoint
Vista House at Crown Point
Multnomah Falls
Lunch at Full Sail Brewing in Hood River, OR
Panorama Point County Park
Hood River Fruit Loop
Trillium Lake
Timberline Lodge
Breakfast at Humble Bagel
Hiking at Mount Pisgah
Picnic at Sweet Cheeks Winery
Floating down the Coast Fork of the Willamette River

I am coming to visit a friend who lives in Eugene. I met her on a study abroad trip about 2 years ago. I am going to be using this great list of things to do while I’m there. Maybe I can meet up with you and Eric while I’m there. The only catch is that I’m coming the week of Thanksgiving, so you all might not be around. It looks beautiful out there, and like you both are enjoying it. I’m so glad!
