If I could choose a month for you to visit Oregon this summer, it would be June! I must admit though at this moment, I am sitting with my friend Mary who just happens to have a B & B in Parkdale, Oregon. I wish I could tell you to come right now and not to wait! The snow is awesome here and we just spent several hours snow shoeing. We are spoiled in Oregon, it's always the perfect time to be here!
It sounds like you have plenty of time this summer to see so much here in Oregon and I will just say that you really need to spend a few days in our Willamette Valley and June is the perfect time to do so! The weather is great that time of year and it's light well in to the evening so all those "outdoor" activities will seriously fill your days and nights.
My most favorite thing that I've done since I've moved to Oregon is ride horseback through wine country. I have included this link: http://whitebreadandjam.blogspot.com/2010/09/back-in-saddle-againin-willamette.html
I have to say if this is all you time for, it's totally worth the ride especially if you love wine and horses!
Many of our small towns and villages in the Willamette Valley are amazingly full of very cool things to do. Wineries dot the roads and rolling green hills along with breweries and award winning restaurants. Some of the best chefs in the world live right here! Please check out Matt Bennett at Sybaris Bistro: www.sybarisbistro.com to see an example of what our chefs here do with their Oregon bounty.
One more suggestion for the Willamette Valley, is that you must go hiking. There are hundreds of hiking trails where you will see things that you cannot believe are real. Here is a link to the trails I hike: http://www.cof.orst.edu/cf/recreation/trails.php
So, as you can see, your days will be full and you will be well rested and well fed here in the Willamette Valley. Please let me know if I can help you further with an itinerary including more of my favorite things to do here!
