According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week is necessary to stay healthy. Try walking for 10 minutes at a time or split up the 30 minutes for various activities, such as swimming laps and stretching. Visiting different locations to get active can also help to keep things fun and exciting and there are plenty of ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle while traveling. When you keep a positive attitude and stay committed to living an active lifestyle, you will enjoy better physical and mental health.

Similar to the set-up of Napa Valley, the wine region of Willamette Valley consists of several towns along the main highway where you’ll find the majority of wineries tucked away in the hills; McMinnville, Newberg, Dundee, Carlton, and Dayton. A post shared by Crescent Café (@crescentcafe) on Crescent Cafe is another popular breakfast and brunch option in the heart of downtown McMinnville, or Mac as the locals call it. La Rambla has also won several awards including Best Wine List from Wine Spectator, Superior Cellar Award from Oregon Wine Press, and A-List restaurant from Oregon Wine.

If it’s trout you’re after, the Skagit is a great place to fish from July until October before the larger fish begin to run. The McKenzie is filled with Chinook salmon, rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, and even the occasional bull trout making it a top spot for fly fishing in Oregon. If it’s salmon you’re after, use your 8-weight with 0 or 1x leader. To catch the steelhead, use Hohbo Spey’s, Sculpzilla’s, and Wooly Buggers.

I’ve been a fly fisherman for about as long as I can remember and there’s no question that the fly fishing in Patagonia is world-class. and I had also rented a car for the duration of our stay in The Lake District, so we drove out to a few rivers and fishing spots around the region, trying my hand at fly fishing by myself. Guided fishing trips in Patagonia aren’t cheap, starting at around $300 for a half-day, but it was a private trip and included transport, lunch, rental gear, and a very experienced guide. That’s because Patagonia is as much a cycler’s paradise, as it is an angler’s or a hiker’s.
