Depoe Bay
|
Turn off the TV and take in a real show—Mother Nature. It’s no accident
that your resort at Depoe Bay is situated in the whale-watching capital
of the Oregon Coast. A visit here is your ticket to sunsets, romantic
walks and fine dining with vast views of the ocean and the rugged, wild
coastline.
But don’t take our word on it—the gray whales that make Depoe Bay their home 10 months of the year know a good thing when they see it. The fishing’s great (boats leave every hour, weather permitting). There are old-growth forests to discover, tidal pools to explore and "spouting horns" to marvel at.
This is the coastal experience as it should be—intimate, refreshing, beautiful and full of nature’s drama. And you’ve got the best seats in the house.

Eagle Crest
|
If you could build a wild, scenic park, tailor-made for recreation, you couldn’t do better than Smith Rock State Park, or, indeed, the entire region around Bend, Oregon. Climbing, fly-fishing, hiking, mountain biking—pick your sport—the region boasts high cliffs, great rivers, beautiful vistas, and hard and fast single track (as well as excellent skiing in winter). The resort looks out over the Deschutes River. As you relax on your private deck, watch for eagles—you may see one drop from the sky to pluck a trout from the water.
No matter how you spend your day, make sure you check in for a massage at the full-service health spa. This is real luxury in the Wild West.

Gleneden
|
The Oregon Coast—where sea-stacks rise from the misty ocean and colorful kites dance in the wind-is the perfect place for your next beach vacation. Nestled between Newport and Lincoln City, you’ll be able to visit the working harbor in Newport, or see ocean denizens up close at the Oregon Coast Aquarium—where exhibits parade the wide range of variegated sea life.
When you’re not playing in the sand and exploring the shore, you can stroll along the streets of Lincoln City and browse the many stores. If you have some extra time—about an hour—take a scenic drive up Highway 101 to the Tillamook Cheese Factory for a self-guided tour and scrumptious ice cream. In the evenings, relax at your resort and fall asleep to the soothing sound of waves rolling into shore.

Running Y
|
Name the types of outdoor recreation you enjoy. Pick anything. Mountain biking? Fishing? Birding? What about just picnicking along country roads? You can do all this and much more from your resort at Running Y.
Perched on a ridge near the 143-square-mile Upper Klamath Lake, your resort is well-positioned to take advantage of one of the most diverse and pristine wildernesses in North America (there are seven national wildlife refuges here). The region’s volcanic legacy has left the famous caldera of Crater Lake, lava beds, fumaroles and towering peaks. It also happens to be the route birds prefer for their western migrations. In fact, bald eagles by the hundreds winter in the Klamath Basin.
Such a backdrop invites exploration. So choose your transport-hoof, foot, tire, or wing, and set forth. After several "Oh wow’s" and a few "Look at that’s," you’ll be ready to return to your Running Y accommodations and all the comforts of home.

Schooner Landing
|
There are certain attributes to the ideal Northwest beach vacation: tide pools, wide sandy beaches, whale watching, museums, aquariums, boutiques and fresh seafood. Book time at the Schooner Landing resort in Newport, Oregon, and you’ll be able to check from your list all of these items.
Put one mark down for the lighthouse and thriving tide pools at the Yaquina Head Natural Area. Here, you can meet protected critters such as sea anemones, goose barnacles, hermit crabs, starfish and sea slugs. The Oregon Coast Aquarium deserves a score as well. Its natural-habitat exhibits feature seabirds, seals, octopus, sea otters and wolf eels. Between these stops, walk down to the pounding surf and breathe in the fresh salt air of the historic Newport waterfront. Close up your file with a soak in the tub back at your resort—located just beyond the beach.
