Where to find uncrowded hikes in Oregon

With the Fourth of July weekend upon us, you might find yourself wanting to explore outside. But, you might face the conundrum of knowing your typical go-to spot will have an influx of other people there, too. If that’s you, have no fear, there are plenty of places to explore, it’s just a matter of knowing where to look. On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, Jamie and Vickie peel back the curtain on hikes less traveled in Oregon. Here are some highlights from this week’s show: A family-friendly hike near a body of water to cool down. An overlooked beach for a coastal destination. Where to backpack and put your legs to the test. Crossing into Washington for a hike in the Columbia River Gorge.
