This place is straight out of a Nancy Drew novel: wood paneling, great wacky original paintings, old-fashioned snow shoes hanging on the walls. The &#8217;50s American nature retreat, still in existence.
Lake of the Woods is between Klamath Falls and Medford just off Highway 140. The original lodge, built in the 1920s, burned and was rebuilt [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Most people come here to Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in spring, summer or fall. They don&#8217;t know what they&#8217;re missing by skipping the remote vastness of eastern Oregon&#8217;s Harney County during the months when the landscape is brilliant with cold and almost completely empty of people.
We&#8217;ve been making regular winter trips here for the last [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Rasmus Petersen, a Dane who came to Oregon in 1900 and died here in 1952, loved rocks. To see what he managed to do with them as an artistic medium, you need to travel pretty much to the middle of nowhere &#8212; OK, a few miles outside of Redmond, Oregon &#8212; and drop in on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Joseph, Oregon, is an intentionally quaint town (though not as dreadful as Sisters) in the far northeast corner of Oregon, near Wallowa Lake and the Eagle Cap Wilderness, for which it serves as a gateway. Some years ago it became a center for bronze casting and has billed itself ever since as an art town, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Just over the California border, south of the Oregon city of Klamath Falls, Lava Beds National Monument is a little known and fascinating part of the federal National Park system. Established in the 1920s, the monument contains an extensive system of lava beds resulting from an ancient shield volcano eruption. If that sounds like eighth-grade [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Old growth forest is kind of like pornography &#8212; no one can define it but all Oregonians know it when we see it.
The easy definitions you hear are pretty good but you don&#8217;t want to push them to the wall. &#8220;A forest that&#8217;s never been logged.&#8221; &#8220;Trees that haven&#8217;t been cut for 500 years.&#8221;  [...]]]></description>

People flock to see Oregon&#8217;s beautiful wilderness areas, where they can enjoy the natural world as it was, at least in theory, about the time of Columbus. Problem is, people really do flock to them. People arrive in flocks. Oregon&#8217;s wilderness areas, like those around the country, tend to be a little crowded, let&#8217;s just [...]]]></description>
