After a long, cold, and wet winter, spring has finally arrived in the Pacific Northwest. If you know a little about the PNW, you know this means the rainy season is here. The perfect time for chasing waterfalls, enjoying the lush meadows, mossy forests, and colorful wildflower season in Oregon and Washington State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I moved to Portland in 2019, I was told that summers in the Pacific Northwest only start after July 4th, and for the last two years this has been so true.

  1. With adapting your clothing to Oregon\u2019s rain showers and muddy trails, spring in the Pacific Northwest means a lot of fun!<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    So let me introduce you to some of my favorite places in Oregon and tips on how to explore those without getting your feet wet and your fingers cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
