Every two months, Oregon Outside covers the best part of Oregon, the out-of-doors. You can find it without leaving the big city, in Portland's Washington and Forest parks, or you can be miles from anywhere, looking at Steens Mountain from the starkly silent Alvord Desert.

Just as there are many places to go outside, there are a plethora of adventures. From the quiet of photography and birding to the danger and thrill of extreme skiing. Oregon Outside Magazine brings them to you.

For a no-risk trial copy, just email your name and United States domestic mailing address and say you'd like to try Oregon Outside. If you like it, send just $16.95. Otherwise, e mail CANCEL and owe nothing.
