Took a flight out to Portland and a bus down to Eugene to see my cousin David and his wife. We went to several different parks and National Forests during my time there.
I rented a car and spent the last night of my trip in Portland after visiting Silver Falls State Park. Overall it was a wonderful experience and I can't wait to go back.
Here's some photos.
