Field guide / 01 / Planning edition

Seven days.
A little more wild.

Our planned Oregon week brings together coast, forest and waterfalls, with a Portland-area base. One arrival day, six sightseeing days, and room to adapt.

The guide groups a week of outings around a Portland-area base. It includes day-by-day ideas, shorter alternatives, filming prompts, map-search links and official information to check before leaving.

This is a planning edition, not a record of a completed trip. Driving figures in the PDF are broad allowances from central Portland, not verified door-to-door times for your accommodation. Recheck your own route and conditions.
