It’s time once again for one of the Willamette Valley’s most beloved traditions: the seventh annual Willamette Valley Ornament Hunt, taking place across the Willamette National Forest and Umpqua National Forest.
Between November 15 and Dec. 25, 2024, two hundred locally-crafted wooden ornaments will be hidden along two-dozen trails in both forests—where eagle-eyed hikers can seek them out. Here’s where to find an ornament—and how to have fun this holiday season
The Willamette Valley, home of Hayward Field, the hallowed ground for track and field athletes, the famous Ducks and Beavs, and some of the world's finest mountain biking trails in the world, is also a hearty host of more than 500 sporting events each year.
The Willamette Valley offers so many ways to enjoy sports, from cycling to marathons to golf. Soak in some of our greatest events during your trip.
