Oregon, Washington, and a good chunk of British Columbia – the Pacific Northwest is not one adventure. It’s three. We scoured the region to find the wildest trips, cushiest lodges, freshest fare, and smartest intel. Your only decision is where to go first. This trip file compliments the May 2008 National Geographic Adventure article located on page 76.

St.Helen is a wonderful town!
Looking for a great place to stay in Crater Lake?
The Wolf Creek Inn:
The remote glories of southern Oregon, namely Crater Lake National Park and the Rogue River; always present the same conundrum: where to stay. For 125 years, the Wolf Creek Inn has been the answer. Within easy striking distance of both sites, the period hotel has seen the likes of Clark Gable, Orson Welles, and the original adrenaline scribe Jack London, who finished his 16th novel, Valley of the Moon, here. Nowadays the crowd, mainly Crater Lake Hikers or Rogue rafters and fishermen, is more understated but no less eclectic. Rates range from $65.00 per night.

I’ve been to Oregon numerous times for both business and pleasure. One of my favorite stops while in town is the Bridgeport Brewery . It’s located on the north side of town in the warehouse district and is Oregon’s oldest craft brewery. If you’re at REI stocking up on gear for your gorge trip – this is a great stop on a sunny afternoon. I highly recommend the IPA.
