The Willamette Valley Visitors Association is teaming up with the Willamette National Forest and the Umpqua National Forest to place 200 wooden ornaments, featuring a colorful valley scene, across non-wilderness trails in both national forests. Beginning November 25, 2022, eagle-eyed hikers and visitors can hit the trail to track down an ornament; once you’ve found one ornament per household, register to win the grand prize and put the ornament on your tree back at home. Ornaments are placed on family-friendly trails and more arduous paths alike, giving hikers of all abilities the chance to win. Register to win HERE.
