Oregon Therapy Jobs

Travel therapy in Oregon represents a wealth of diverse climates, cultures, and recreational opportunities. Crisscrossed by rivers, mountains, and vineyards, Metropolitan Portland offers more than urban adventure. Within a few minutes’ drive of downtown Portland are Pinot-producing wineries, kayak-friendly waterways that nudge wildlife preserves and, of course, the glorious foothills of Mount Hood. And if it’s urban adventure you crave, be warned that Portland, the Rose City, isn’t your run-of-the-mill urban megapolis. An effervescent arts community, dozens of urban parks and green spaces, a lively downtown, complete with an open air plaza that serves as the community’s living room, and a world-class public transportation system, are just few of the reasons that make this one of the country’s most livable cities. Mt. Hood and the cliffs of the awe-inspiring Columbia River Gorge look down on quaint riverfront towns, countless waterfalls, and exhilarating windsurfing waters. The often-photographed Mt. Hood is home to four ski areas, including historic Timberline Lodge, a classic WPA-era mountain lodge, which also happens to offer North America’s longest ski season and Mt. Hood Ski Bowl, which offers the country’s largest night skiing area. For those who prefer the indoors, historical wonders can be also be discovered in Troutdale’s Harlow House, The Dalles’ Columbia Gorge Discovery Center, and Wasco County Historical Museum. During spring and summer growing seasons, roadside stands dot the country lanes in Willamette Valley and farmers’ markets appear in the valley’s historic towns. Covered bridges beckon drivers to explore the many back roads, and the valley’s flat terrain and temperate climate make it a favorite for hikers and cyclists, who also enjoy the paved paths in the college towns of Eugene and Corvallis. Nestled among its rolling hills are over 200 wineries producing a medley of vintages—Pinot noir, Pinot gris, and Riesling to mention a few. A bustling theatrical town (Ashland) featuring the Tony-Award winning Oregon Shakespeare Festival, the country's deepest lake, Crater Lake, the Oregon Caves National Monument, world-class fishing and rafting rivers, year-round golf, mountains for skiing, biking, and hiking only begin to make up the many pieces of picturesque Southern Oregon. Indulge on chocolates to your heart’s content at the Ashland Chocolate Festival, taste world-famous artisan cheeses at the Rogue-Creamery, and explore the bounty of good wine and fine restaurants. With 300 days of sunshine a year and oodles of fresh powder come winter, the high desert country of Central Oregon is an idyllic playground for sports lovers. Rekindle your spirit with a gamut of possibilities such as world famous golf at more than 25 unique courses, coveted fly-fishing at over 150 rivers and lakes, and outdoor adventures including hiking, rock climbing at Smith Rock, and an abundance of snow sports atop Mt. Bachelor. And what’s more, the area boasts an equally impressive selection of restaurants and breweries, a vibrant nightlife, unique lodging, and a growing arts scene.
