Good Samaritan Society-Eugene

Mountain bikers in Eugene seem to always find their way to the popular Goodman Trail. This loop involves climbing on gravel along Goodman Creek Road to the top of the trail and then descending on a single track that includes waterbars, rocks, switchbacks and some tricky downhill surfaces. The total traveling distance on this recreation trail is 7.9 miles.

When you dig deep, you never know what you'll find. Getting below the surface of history and cultural traditions will allow you to gain a deeper understanding, and there's no better place to do that in Eugene than at the University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History. Here, the past is present in so many colorful and multidimensional ways. You'll be able to experience an amazing 15,000 years of Oregon's cultural history as well as an equally stunning 200 million years of geology. Get ready, because the trip is a dramatic one, with adventure at nearly every turn.

If laughter is the best medicine, then Eugene's Brickwall Comedy Club is like being in the comedy hospital! Laugh away the stress of your week with a hilarious show that features some of the best stand-up performers from around the country. Great service, a well-stocked bar and a fun crowd make an evening of comedy entertainment at the Brickwall something that you will want to experience again and again.

Enjoy some quality time beach-side when you visit the Alderwood State Wayside. This forested tract along Highway 36 west of Junction City is a beautiful slice of Oregon’s natural beauty. Enjoy a comfortable picnic area as well as a short trail that runs along the Long Tom River. This is a great place to bring the whole family for some great outdoor fun or just enjoy it yourself relaxing on a blanket with your favorite book.
