This deep-cuts bucket list will take you to Oregon's hidden natural treasures

People often assume that outdoors and travel reporter Jamie Hale has been everywhere in Oregon, but even he has a bucket list of places he hasn’t seen. On this week’s episode of the Peak Northwest podcast, Hale opens up his deep-cuts bucket list: destinations around the state that, for one reason or another, he has yet to visit. These places, often remote or rugged in nature, represent a side of Oregon that relatively few people make the trek to see. Still, they contain some truly spectacular sights: towering trees and eroded columns of rock, sweeping sagebrush landscapes and arid, windswept mountains. Here are some highlights from this week’s show: What are the Pillars of Rome, and are they worth the drive to see? Three of Oregon’s most remote mountain ranges are rugged adventures. Valley of the Giants has incredible trees that are difficult to reach. The one place Hale regrets not getting to sooner. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
