“You really can't help but feel it when you put in a little effort to get a little higher, to get to another vantage point. It makes you feel a sense of being placed in this time and space in a different way. That’s the sublime, a timeless element that is beyond what we can conceive. It's so important for the soul of humankind in the future of this landscape, and the future of humanity.”
– Nathan Dwyer, Main Street Tours (from the top of Crater Lake National Park)
Join us on the Central Nature Trail for the third part of our documentary road trip, following award-winning travel writer Aaron Millar from the top of Crater Lake National Park to the Columbia River Gorge.
We begin snowshoeing to the top of Watchman Peak, for the best view over Crater Lake in the park – “like a sapphire embedded in the Earth”, as Aaron describes it. It’s exposed, it’s hair-raising and it’s worth every shaky step. After that we head to Bend, one of Oregon’s premier adventure towns, for some sunset paddling along the Deschutes River surrounded by thousands of swallows, baby Ospreys and a surprise visit from Oregon’s state animal. Then it’s time to head underground for a spine-chilling 1000-foot descent into a lava tube, formed by a “River of Fire” over 7,000 years ago. We crawl through 18-inch-wide cracks, turn off our head lamps to experience true darkness and marvel at the geologic forces that could create this uniquely beautiful landscape. We finish at the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Reservation for some “river therapy” and a fly-fishing lesson from a native guide. We learn of conserving native first foods, experience some river therapy and Aaron catches his first fish.Through it all, we’re going to explore the wonder and awe of the natural world in all its forms, from mile-high views to quiet moments listening to birdsong on the river. We’ll discover why the natural world for Oregonians inspires more than just gasps and awe, it inspires care and stewardship of the land. It inspires the sublime and we’re going to find plenty of that.

Is adventure about more than just wild times in the outdoors? In Oregon it is, and we’re going to find out why.
Join us on the Coastal Adventure Trail for the second part of our documentary road trip, following award-winning travel writer Aaron Millar from Florence to Port Orford and beyond.
This episode we’re taking the Coastal Adventure Trail. We begin at the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, in Florence, for a sand-boarding lesson from world champion rider Gabe Cruz. Then head south down the coast, stopping at the sleepy seaside town of Port Orford for wild beaches, windswept headlands, ocean swells and one of the greatest wildlife experiences on Earth. Continuing along the coast, we explore the secret coves of the Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor – perhaps the most spectacular stretch of road in the entire Pacific Northwest – and finish in a forest of giants, fit for a fantasy book. Through it all, we’re going to discover why adventure, for Oregonians is about more than laughs and gasps, it’s about fostering a deep connection to the natural world, and in doing so, perhaps, a deeper connection to yourself too.

Is being weird a good thing? In Oregon, it is – and we’re going to find out why.
Join us for the first part of our documentary road trip, following award-winning travel writer Aaron Millar from Portland to Eugene.
This episode we’re taking the Northern Culture Trail. We’re going to discover Portland’s favorite food carts, sample food from around the world and go on a secret bar crawl to hidden local spots. “Portland is the rebel base of the Star Wars universe, we’re sticking it to the forces of normal,” Dresden of Throw Snakes told us. We’re going to have some fun!
From there we hit the road south to the Willamette Valley to sip some of the most delicious Pinot Noir grapes in the world. But this isn’t pinky up drinking, this is down-to-earth wine-tasting in craft vineyards, surrounded by the beautiful rolling vines of the Dundee Hills.
Lastly, we visit the Eugene Saturday Market, Oregon’s premier art market, to meet the makers who helped turn this artist community into one of the most thriving creative hubs in the Pacific Northwest. We finish at Harmonic Laboratory, an experimental artist collective pushing the boundaries of visual arts, soundscapes, and technology. It’s going to blow your mind.
Through it all, we’ll reveal why, here in Oregon, weird isn’t strange; it’s the spark from which the best things grow.
