These are the hottest Oregon escapes for the end- of- summer. As a single traveler, now is the time to get ready to head out for that first solo vacation. Or, with the summer coming to an end it could be the perfect time for a luxury travel mom to take the kids on the perfect end of summer adventure. As the season changes, so does the lifestyle of mid-week pancakes in pajamas. Grab the opportunity for one last vacation before the busyness of fall, and of course, then the holidays take over.
This is the time of year when travel begins to slow. Expect to see the crowds starting to thin out, nightly campfires beginning to take form and of course, great deals on escapes starting to pop up.
Stay in the city, or venture out into nature on these adventures. Visit PNW waterfalls, take in a ballet, visit the aquarium; these 20 Oregon escapes for the end of summer are the hottest. Remember to relax while you’re away too. Indulge in an afternoon spa treatment. Have that extra bite of dessert. Or spend a couple of extra hours in bed in the morning. You know, the vacation things.
