Reddit asked our Oregon travel reporter anything. Here’s what he said

from Peak Northwest · host The Oregonian/OregonLive

What do you want to know about traveling through Oregon? Reddit users had the chance to ask their burning questions of Jamie Hale, The Oregonian/OregonLive’s outdoors and travel reporter who recently did an AMA (that’s Ask Me Anything) on the r/Oregon subreddit. On this week’s episode of the Peak Northwest podcast, Hale shared some of the best questions from Redditors and dove into his answers. The discussion ranged from federal lands passes to Oregon’s best hot springs and some of Hale’s favorite places around the state. Here are some highlights from this week’s show: Some recreation areas aren’t accepting federal lands passes — what’s the deal? What are some of the best places to take toddlers and babies on a summer day? Where is the best place to float near Portland and when is the best time to do it? What are Hale’s favorite places in Oregon? He has more than a few. Subscribe to Peak Northwest on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or anywhere you listen to podcasts.
