There is a great rally being planned for August 21-25, the Country Coach Friends 3rd Annual Friendship Rally in Albany, Oregon. Over 300 motorcoach enthusiasts will gather at the Linn County Events Center, just following the Family Motor Coach Association's NW regional rally. It's a great time to come to Oregon: Learm more about rally memories to be made at www.countrycoachfriendsincorporated.com
In the meantime, here are some recreation suggestions for OREGON FUN found at http://traveloregon.com/ask-oregon/
Mt. Pisgah in Eugene is a great place to take
dogs and go hiking. For an easier hike, look for the arboretum trails. If the
weather is right there are some creeks in the parking area that a dog could
play in.
Tryon Creek Trail near Portland is dog-friendly
and just friendly, in general.
The coast is very dog-friendly with
lots of hikes and even yurts that pets can stay in with you.
Cape Lookout South Trail near Tillamook is a
great example of the Oregon Coast’s wide array of dog-friendly hiking trails.
Cape Perpetua’s Giant Spruce Trail: This trail is
one of my favorites on the coast.
Eagle Cap Wilderness: Hurricane
Creek near Joseph is a dog-friendly hike in the northeast of Oregon.
This book is a really good reference
for hikes with dogs: http://www.mountaineersbooks.org/Best-Hikes-with-Dogs-Oregon-2nd-Edition-P705.aspx Happy travels! Answered by Cari

We have a day and night
to get from Portland to Eugene, what could we see on our way?
I am the AskOR Willamette Valley expert and I am happy to
give you a few suggestions for enjoying our gorgeous region! If you would
like to wine taste or if you are in to seeing some of the most beautiful
country in the world, take hwy 99W out of Portland south all the way to
Eugene. On your route, enjoy our small towns and villages and know that in each
and every one of them you’ll find something good to drink and delicious local
food to enjoy. You’ll be going right by the Evergreen Aviation & Space
Museum near McMinnville: http://www.evergreenmuseum.org If you
have ever wanted to see the Spruce Goose, this is its home!
Traveling further south along this route, you will come
across my favorite place for local beer and food in Amity, OR at The Blue
Goat Cafe: http://amitybluegoat.com
Corvallis is a bustling town home to Oregon State
University. Take the campus tour if you’d like or take a hike! A favorite Oregon
hiking trail Mc Donald Dunn Forest: http://www.cof.orst.edu/cf/recreation/trails.php I hike here a few times a month and there’s
always something new to see.
In Albany enjoy their darling downtown area before heading
again south on to Eugene again via hwy 99. A few tidbits about Albany… they
happen to boast the most in number and varied styles of historic homes and
buildings in the entire state of Oregon! Worth a stop for some photos of the
gorgeous vintage abodes and a trip to the Albany Carousel Museum and studio
is awesome: http://albanycarousel.com
A few places to dine in Albany:
Well… this is my short list. This could keep you busy far longer
than a day and a night. Hope you enjoy your planning and your trip. Thanks
