About Eugene
The birthplace of Nike, Eugene is ranked as one of America's "Most Bicycle Friendly Cities" with the oldest Black Tartarian cherry tree in the United States sitting in Eugene's Owen Rose Garden. Over run with breweries, it is a hub for bottle shops and tap houses of Ninkasi, Rogue and McMenamins beers. Sitting at the south end of the Willamette Valley, it is the second largest city in the state of Oregon. Home to the University of Oregon, the city is cloaked in surrounding natural beauty and is known as "Track Town, USA" or "A Great City for the Arts and Outdoors". So if neither of those things interest you, then give it a miss. The Willamette River separates Eugene from its neighboring town of Springfield. You will have on your doorstep all of the amenities of a big city with the flush of nature juxtaposed.
Make sure you check out Alton Baker Park on the banks of the Willamette River, this is the city's largest park and is overflowing with paved paths, bike trails and a cross-country running route for the energetic, whilst the kayakers can take to the river. You can meander around the historic Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art and its collection of American, European, Korean, Japanese and Chinese art treasures. The Museum of Natural and Cultural History can be found in the University of Oregon campus. Stuffed with anthropological, zoological and paleontological artifacts it is for the curious minded soul. For a cultural performance go to the Hult Center for the Performing Arts or stroll through the historic district where every Saturday the 5th Street Market takes place. If you are into birds of prey, the Cascades Raptor Center is a must to go to. For the green thumbed flower lover there is Hendricks Park that is cloaked in rhododendrons. It is an 80-acre park with stunning walking trails to stroll through.
If all of the above fails to enthrall, then go to Mount Pisgah Arboretum for some time out solitary moments sitting on its summit with the world at your feet.
