A brisk walk is one of the best forms of exercise, and for outdoor lovers, taking that gingerly stroll down the Amazon Trail in Eugene is a great way to spend some quality time enjoying the area's natural beauty. The trail is located next to Roosevelt Middle School and offers a 600-meter, 1,000-meter and 1-mile loop. Whatever length of the trail you choose to tackle, they are all in the convenient figure-eight shape which proves to be a moderate challenge and keeps the pace for your walk interesting, too.
Get a truly dramatic glimpse of some of the area's wildlife when you visit the Cascades Raptor Center. This nature center and wildlife hospital not only offers you the chance to see some truly amazing creatures, but you'll also see how some of these various species are rehabilitated before being re-released into their natural habitat. Plus, you'll most definitely want to see the colorful (and musical) 33 species of birds that make their home at this attraction.
