Less than three weeks of summer remain, and we’re committed to making the most of them.

There are road trips to be taken, small towns to check out and natural areas to explore.

This week on the Peak Northwest podcast, we discuss some of the region’s best late summer and early fall travel options.

Some highlights:

  • We rattle off travel ideas from people who replied to Jim’s tweet soliciting late summer and early fall trips around the Northwest. Among the options: Checking out some of Oregon’s covered bridges, heading to the Wallowas and enjoying the San Juan Islands.
  • We tout Oregon’s scenic byways and bikeways.
  • Jamie shouts out a late-summer spot he discovered in 2019: Waldo Lake.
  • Jim details how he chases good weather in the fall.
  • Jamie describes September as the best time to visit and explore the Northwest.
