Take a spring break road trip down Oregon 47

You can always head out to the Oregon coast for spring break, but if you’re hoping to avoid the crush of crowds, consider sticking around the Willamette Valley instead. There’s plenty of fun to be found closer to the Portland metropolitan area, and one corridor in particular where you’ll find a wide variety of attractions that are perfect for a spring break trip: Oregon Route 47. On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we talk all about the Willamette Valley highway that runs from Clatskanie to McMinnville, cutting through the coast range forests and wine country on its way. From bike paths to hiking trails, food carts to roadside attractions, there’s a lot to find along Oregon 47. Whether you’re taking spring break along with Oregon’s public schools this month, or in need of some trip ideas for later this season, the scenic highway is a perfect place to explore.
