Its goal is to create a world-class recreational experience by developing one of the first long-distance singletrack bikepacking routes in the nation. Bikepacking is an emerging adventure sport trend gaining unprecedented popularity. Bikepacking is typically a lightweight style of cycle touring, paralleling the ongoing trend of lightweight thru-hiking. Bikepacking can incorporate country roads and gravel roads, but typically bikepackers prefer more primitive singletrack routes. Sought Experience Bikepackers are just like backpackers— they seek solitude, a connection to the outdoor world, experience of new places, and to cover a variety of landscapes under their own power. They are seasoned outdoors people who take pride in their minimal impact on trails and natural areas. Bikepackers aren’t moving at race speeds and want to have courteous interactions with wildlife and other trail users alike. Bikepackers—just like backpackers— prefer narrow, well designed and maintained singletrack trails. Hot springs and breweries along the route don’t hurt either.

  • TSO Story Ideas for Website
    Story Ideas Off the Beaten Wine Path There’s more to Oregon wine than its famed Pinot Noir. Southern Oregon’s latitude, climate and rich terrain produce a European-like growing season that make it an idyllic location to grow wine grapes. And with more than 70 different varietals grown in five distinct regions, visitors can enjoy a different side of Oregon Wine Country from popular grapes like Syrah, Malbec and Tempranillo to the more obscure such as Montepulciano. Southern Oregon has more than 150 wineries and family-owned vineyards dominate the landscape. The Umpqua Valley is a prime example where German immigrants planted the first vineyards back in the 1800s and today the boutique wineries are still family owned and operated. Similar stories are woven into the other four regions and it is common to sip on wine poured directly by the winemakers who love to share their deep knowledge and love of viticulture with visitors. Far from the crowds of California or Willamette Valley, enjoy a wealth of wines in a variety of styles and full attention in the tasting room. Adventure is Southern Oregon’s Soul Maybe it’s our pioneering spirit, the geological drama, our untamed forests and rivers, spectacular waterfalls or the vast outback. But one thing is certain: the landscape lends itself to adventures great and small. In sunny Southern Oregon, you can white water raft the wild Rogue with local guides who grew up on the river’s edge, bike Crater Lake, zipline high above the forest or don a headlamp and explore the West’s largest cave system.

  • Regional Climate Investments
    Investing in Resilient Communities Southeast Oregon Lake, Harney & Malheur Counties Climate change is already impacting Southeast Oregon. Higher temperatures, wildfires, declining snowpack and extreme weather events are disrupting farming, ranching, wildlife and traditional livelihoods. For Oregon’s Outback to adapt and prosper, it is important to identify areas of risk and invest in solutions that restore natural resources, protect communities and enhance the region’s economy. AGRICULTURE & IRRIGATION Climate impacts in Oregon’s basin and range region reduce stream flows and groundwater available for irrigation, disrupt traditional agricultural and ranching practices, and compromise the quality of forage for livestock. Prolonged higher temperatures affect the health of ranchers, farmworkers, and livestock. ● Invest in water conserving irrigation infrastructure and more efficient on-farm systems. ● Prioritize strategies to restore and sustain the quality and capacity of the region’s groundwater resources. ● Assist farmers and ranchers with cost-saving measures to reduce energy use and with the installation of off-grid solar and battery storage, wind, biofuels, in-conduit hydropower and geothermal power. ● Invest in soil health and carbon sequestration, and in the health and productivity of rangelands. WATERWAYS & WILDLIFE Higher temperatures, declining snowpack and drought are reducing water in rivers, streams, lakes and wetlands. Wetlands in southeastern Oregon are essential to migratory birds along the Pacific Flyway. Higher temperatures and poor water quality impact fish and wildlife habitat and increase the risk of toxic algae blooms. ● Fund restoration and enhancement of rivers, lakes and watersheds to enhance water quality, streamflow, flood water retention, and groundwater recharge. ● Implement practices to prevent toxic algae outbreaks and public information to reduce exposure.

  • The Historic Winnemucca to the Sea Highway “Gateway to the Pacific Northwest”
    Feb 2004 WINNEMUCCA to the SEA Highway The Historic Winnemucca to the Sea Highway “Gateway to the Pacific Northwest” John Ryczkowski The Winnemucca to the Sea highway was developed to establish a continu- ous, improved all-weather highway from US-40 (I-80) at Winnemucca, Nevada through Medford, Oregon and on to the Pacific coast at Crescent City, California. In the mid 1950’s there was no direct route west from Northern Nevada across South- ern Oregon and into California’s Redwood Empire. Community leaders from points along this proposed link formed the Winnemucca to the Sea Highway Association. The association worked with state and local governments to fund the design, con- struction and upgrade of the paved roadway for this east to west link across three states. The association had envisioned one highway number 140 applied to the complete route, as the parent major US highway was coast-to-coast US-40, the Victory Highway. Nevada and Oregon used state route 140 for their respective sections of the Winnemucca to the Sea Highway. But the renumbering or cosigning of federal highways was an obstacle that the Winnemucca to the Sea Association never did overcome, thus the hope of a continuous 140 designation for this link was never realized. Currently the traveler will follow seven different highway numbers from Winnemucca to Crescent City, they are US-95, state route-140, US-395, state Association brochure circa 1960’s route-62, Interstate-5, US-199 and US-101. Winnemucca, named after a local Paiute chief, has always been a crossroads town.

  • Weather and Climate of the Rogue Valley by Gregory V
    Weather and Climate of the Rogue Valley By Gregory V. Jones, Ph.D., Southern Oregon University The Rogue Valley region is one of many intermountain valley areas along the west coast of the United States. Nestled in the southwestern portion of Oregon, the landscape of the Rogue Valley is extremely diverse, coming from the joining of three mountain ranges of varying ages and structure: the Klamath and Siskiyou Mountains to the southwest to southeast, the Coastal Range to the west, and the Cascades to the east and north. The region is drained mainly by the Rogue River and its major tributaries; the Applegate River, the Illinois River, and Bear Creek. At the largest scale, the weather and climate of the region is mainly influenced by the North Pacific Ocean and the westerly winds of the mid-latitudes. The maritime air masses that originate over the Pacific are cooled by the ocean currents offshore and moderate the climate of the region. Seasonally the west coast undergoes shifts between cooler, moister conditions in the winter with a strengthening of the Aleutian Low that brings storms into the region; to warmer, drier conditions in the summer that are associated with the dominance of the Pacific High. On a regional scale, the general north-south or northwest-southeast oriented valleys, with their proximity to the Pacific Ocean and the number and height of mountain barriers, help to create climate conditions of wetter and cooler areas in the western parts of the region and warmer and drier eastern areas. At the local scale, site differences in elevation, topography, and orientation to the sun influence the variation in gardening potential.

  • American Outback: Harney County, Oregon
    AMERICAN OUTBACK: Harney County, Oregon Text and Photos by Eric Lucas oised on an old fencepost held high by haphazardly stacked rocks, the trail register for Wildhorse Lake leans a tad sideways into the timberline winds on Steens PMountain. The lake itself is a cobalt dinner plate far below; between us and it lie an almost sheer cliff face, a scree slope and snowdrifts still hugging crevices in early July. Only three parties have been down the trail this year, and their penciled comments beckon anyone with a wilderness appetite. “Spectacular!” “Fishing fabulous.” And, not least: “Trail not 4 Sissies.” We take this as invitation rather than warning. Down the cliff face we go, looking for flat footing, scooting warily across snow banks, tugging at rock handholds and hairpinning our way down the scree to the open meadows by the lake. Bumblebees buzz in lupine and paintbrush, and gold sand beaches hem the lee shore. From here we cast Renegades up against a rockfall 20 yards away, watching for the telltale flash of gold that marks a strike by one of the lake’s native Lahontan cutthroat trout. “Trail not 4 Sissies” These are slender 13-inch beauties of amber, topaz and marigold, with just a brief stitch of vermilion under the jaw that testifies to their species. After two hours of casting—and lollygagging on the beach, watching the sky deepen its blue, and kites patrol the meadows—we head back up to the Range Rover with four fish in hand. Going up proves tougher than down, maybe because heading down is fueled by the adrenaline of anticipation, and heading back carries the mild clutch of regret.
