“No one knows how to get more out of our amazing state than Grant McOmie. He’s been showing us how to enjoy the best stuff along the back roads and beyond for a long time.

Capturing not only the story of the destination, but sharing the legends, yarns, and accounts of the personalities that make Oregon this unique place we call home. Great read, makes me want to get outdoors even more!”
—John Williams, creator/host of Wheelchair Destinations
