Umpqua Hot Spring is one of my favorite places in the Pacific Northwest. It takes a lot of driving to get there, but it's really pretty. Feel free to join me on this trip or just save the itinerary and go on your own sometime.

Road tripping is also an art. Driving 8 hours one way is definitely not for everyone. But if you want to experience this place, that is what it takes. This is not a trip for the easily motion sick or those unused to long car rides.
