Book a guided fishing trip with Captain Scotty on the PNW rivers! Jonny works with Scotty regularly and he never comes back without a story! If you want to fight some fish, go with Chrome Inc Guide Service! 🐟 (drive time depends on the river location, well worth the road trip!)
Giraffes, Tigers and Bears oh my! Head over to the zoo if you'd like to see a wide range of critters! 🐯 Very family friendly, check their website to make sure they're open. 45-minute drive from the venue. (P.S the roads usually have heavy traffic!)
The Ape Cave is a massive underground 2-level tunnel formed by lava that was forced underground when Mount St. Helens erupted. It is called the Ape Cave because it was discovered by a group of boy-scouts called "The Apes." The upper level has rocks and is a bit more difficult, and the lower level is just a fascinating walk through the tunnel. Please make sure it is open to the public before you go! 2-hour drive from the venue. (Worth it!) Another great informational site is: https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/ape-cave
Silver falls offers a beautiful hike if you're looking to find some sights to see! Please check the website to see if you need a pass, and if the trails are open. Near Salem, about a 50-minute drive from the venue. The address is to the park's office.
