As first time visitors we were excited to explore Eugene and chose Studio West as one of our first stops. The drive to the studio alone is amazing, it’s grand country side with a clear view of the Cascade mountains and main route to the best wineries was an unexpected benefit. Once off the main road it was a treat to see the wilderness at its best, ducks; deer; sheep; horse farms and more! We were surprise and happy to feel the tranquility of open farm land and its colorful fields. My friends from the city couldn’t stop wowing how beautiful the drive was. We weren’t even to the studio location and we all agreed we had made the right choice. Easy to find and a warm welcome from the owners felt like we had made it home greeted by chickens; ducks; doggies a great chalet home nestled in the woods. Excited to start the glass blowing, Ciara & Alex were informative and caring, sincerely wanting us to have a personalized and great experience. Indeed it was! Truely creative and comitted to their love of art was felt by their professionalism, patience and positive attitude. Studio West exceeded our expectations and the experience we had is still the main highlite we talk about to our family and friends. Can’t wait for our next visit!

This is for serious music listeners and not for people to catch up on their day. The website is easy to use and offers clips from musicians so you can hear before you go. Free city garage parking 1 1/2 blocks away. Great venue,
4. McKenzie River National Recreation Trail

Great hiking trail for all skill levels. Families would do well on this trail. I loved that the trail is close to the river, wide, and very little poison oak or mosquitos. Be sure allow lots of time and take a camera. My suggestion would be to go during a weekday if possible. The trail can get pretty busy during the weekends. A September hiking area after summer campers have left would be idea. If you don't mind crowds then combine your hike with a camping experience.

Amazing park: went for a 5-mile run with my buddy, it was amazing. You get your choice of trails: asphalt, soft redwook bark, or even riverside rugged. Plenty of space on the wide trails. Lots of variety. Looks like kayaking would be nice in the canals. A good looking frisbee golf course. Conveniently located to the Residence Inn across the street.

And you thought your sneakers were in rough shape: this museum's best-known artifact is a pair of 9,000 year-old shoes.
Reviewed By dunadan - Lynnwood, United States
This museum on the University of Oregon campus is great, and our family had a very enjoyable hour or so exploring the four main exhibits. We started with a good welcome from a volunteer docent, who explained the different areas, and then we explored each exhibit at our own pace. I really enjoyed the video clips in the Native American exhibit, especially the ones featuring the cedar canoe, but all of the information displays and dioramas were really well done. The traveling water exhibit from the Smithsonian was awesome--eye-opening and a sober reminder how we can't afford to take this precious resource for granted. The fossil section was packed with great displays as well, and our favorite prehistoric mammal, the giant sloth, was featured! The video of the TED talk on the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone NP was awesome, and really highlighted the huge number of positive changes that came about due to the presence of the wolves. A lot of museums overwhelm you with their floors and floors and great halls filled to overflowing with exhibits and massive displays, but the Museum of Natural and Cultural History in Eugene was just the right size for our family to explore on a summer afternoon.

A six-mile bike trail along the Willamette River.

Simply the best urban bikeway in Oregon and that is some pretty tough competition. Once the Riverwalk is done, both sides of the river will be connected with this path. Drops you right into downtown Eugene or all the way out to Doris Ranch.
