Getting a glimpse of nature doesn't have to be just plants and trees. See it come to life when you visit the Silver Creek Landing. You will have the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and watch the wildlife that's located at the Silver Creek public boat ramp. A viewing platform is just a short walk away, and you'll be able to overlook the McKenzie River where you'll catch sight of osprey, waterfowl, beaver and deer, among other interesting species.

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.

There are classic events, and then there are classically classic events like the Oregon Bach Festival held the last part of June and into early July. Under the superb leadership of Helmuth Riling, the festival presents the choral and orchestral masterworks of Sebastian Bach. The event is held in Eugene at the University of Oregon's Beall Concert Hall and the Hult Center for the Performing Arts as well as other cities in Oregon.
