stuffradio Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 I'm getting married in March! I've been trying to research different honeymoon ideas, and one is to drive into Oregon and/or Northern California. What would be nice places to see and do in the middle of March? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 March will likely be rainy along the coast, but since you live in BC, you already know this. Anyway, the Redwoods would be nice to see, though you are already used to big trees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We drove down the coast through WA, OR and into CA. We drove through that big hollowed out tree that I think fell over a few years ago.

stuffradio Posted December 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Many nice, private, romantic B&Bs along the Oregon Coast. I've heard great things about this one, although I haven't stayed there personally: http://zengardenbedandbreakfast.com/That looks nice.

SilverFallsAndrew Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 I'm getting married in March! I've been trying to research different honeymoon ideas, and one is to drive into Oregon and/or Northern California. What would be nice places to see and do in the middle of March? Silver Falls State Park is nice any time of year. If you are into hiking the Trail of Ten Falls a 7.5 mile loop hike is open most of the year. Only closed if the trail gets to icy (icicles can fall from some of the cliffs), or if there is a bad windstorm. In March it should be open and the falls should be flowing at a high volume. https://oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=parkPage.dsp_parkPubs&parkId=151 Further south the North Umpqua River is an absolute GEM. There are quite a few waterfalls up the N. Umpqua River, you could see most of them in a day/afternoon and return to accommodations in Roseburg or stay at one of the rustic "resorts" along the upper river that are open year round. Tokotee is the most famous of these falls, a few miles upriver from there is a hot springs that is pretty unique perched high on a hill above the river. http://www.oregon.com/attractions/falls-north-umpqua-river If you are thinking coastal I would recommend Astoria, Newport, Yachats, and Brookings. The south coast is probably the most scenic part of the Oregon coast. I would avoid Seaside and Lincoln City, they are overrated. Crescent City, CA and the Redwoods are great too. 1 Quote Snowfall Precip 2022-23: 95.0" 2022-23: 17.39" 2021-22: 52.6" 2021-22: 91.46" 2020-21: 12.0" 2020-21: 71.59" 2019-20: 23.5" 2019-20: 58.54" 2018-19: 63.5" 2018-19: 66.33" 2017-18: 30.3" 2017-18: 59.83" 2016-17: 49.2" 2016-17: 97.58" 2015-16: 11.75" 2015-16: 68.67" 2014-15: 3.5" 2013-14: 11.75" 2013-14: 62.30 2012-13: 16.75" 2012-13: 78.45 2011-12: 98.5" 2011-12: 92.67" It's always sunny at Winters Hill!

bainbridgekid Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Crater Lake is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been in my life, but it would be very snowy in March. More of a Summer thing. 1 Quote Everett Snowfall (510 feet elevation) Snow since February 2019: 91" 2023-24: 6" 2022-23: 17.5" 2021-22: 17.75" 2020-21: 14.5” 2019-20: 10.5" 2018-19: 24.75" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of a Summer thing.From what I hear, it’s very hard to even reach Crater Lake in March because most of the roads will be closed. It’s a subarctic climate that gets 500” of snow a year. I went on July 5 this year (the day the Klamathon Fire started) and there were patches of unmelted snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverFallsAndrew Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Crater Lake is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been in my life, but it would be very snowy in March. More of a Summer thing. I went there in April, 2014. I think the lodge stays open much of the year, but you can't do much else.
