Top 5 Things to Do in Oregon’s Cape Perpetua
Oregon is one of those beautiful places that everyone should try and see! My sister and I were fortunate enough to travel there back in 2015, and I’ve been dreaming about going back ever since! While we saw a lot of the state on our trip, the portion of time we spent on the Coast was really spectacular! Cape Perpetua Scenic Area was perhaps my favorite spot out of all the areas we saw on the Oregon Coast! Aside from its beautiful scenery, the name itself kind of sealed the deal for me. It sounds like it was named by pirates (the swashbuckling kind, not Somalian ;)). In actuality, Cape…

It’s a really hard decision to make, but I think I liked the day we spent here best of all. (Of course, I reserve the right to change my mind about that, because every day was monstrously awesome in an epic way.) So…

Hiking the Misery Ridge Trail at Smith Rock State Park
My sister (who is one of my all-time favorite traveling companions!) and I went on an EPIC trip to Oregon last summer. We flew into Portland and traveled approximately 540 miles on a road trip across the state! During our time there we got to see 4 of the 7 “Wonders of Oregon”. Smith Rock is one of those Wonders. Smith Rock State Park is located about 35 miles north of Bend. It offers miles of hiking and mountain biking, as well as some pretty intense rock climbing! While there were several trails for us to choose from, we decided to hike Misery Ridge Trail! It was a steep hike but…
