WHAT’S ON IN PORTLAND AND OREGON Recently opened, Cottonwood Canyon is Oregon’s second-largest, but perhaps wildest, state park. Little more than a two-hour drive from


Portland, the park is rugged and vast – from the vertical cliffs carved by the John Day River to deep side canyons and arid, rocky grasslands that extend for miles in all directions. Cottonwood Canyon includes a 21-site main


campground designed for tents or self-contained vehicles. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound with elk, bighorn sheep, chukar, lizards and waterfowl calling the park home. Elsewhere, a luxury motel in Downtown Bend,


Bend Wall Street Suites, has opened. Coming soon to downtown Medford, the Inn at the Commons will be a centerpiece of the city’s urban renewal development, which includes a scenic new park, an up-and-coming restaurant scene, and a great jumping-off point for wine touring in the Applegate Valley. In addition to being the largest convention center in the city, the property will also include the restaurant Larks at Medford. Stand E120-A
