In June and July of 2018, I traveled across Oregon to report on assignments for the online travel publication PlanetWare.com. Scouting out the best campgrounds, tourist attractions, and hiking trails of the state, I also covered top-rated waterfalls, hot springs, and any adventure I could find.
Beginning this reporting and photo expedition, I donned my hiking boots and trekked (on foot) the entire 360-mile Oregon Coast Trail carrying my camera and backpack.

After exploring the Oregon coast, I hitched a bus back to Portland to explore the city and meet some deadlines. From Portland, the national forests of Oregon were my home for another three weeks, where I searched out all the best hot springs, waterfalls, and hiking trails.
