Ashland, Oregon completely surprised us. If you are driving the West Coast, you have to park the rig and spend a day exploring this gorgeous town. To make planning easy, here is our perfect one-day itinerary:
β² The Famous Water: Stop by the main plaza to taste the Lithia mineral water, piped in since 1927. (Warning: it has a very strong sulfur tasteβAlexβs reaction was priceless! π
)
π¨ The Sweet Treat: Look for the pink door at Mix Bakeshop on Main Street. They serve the absolute best ice cream to fuel your afternoon walk. The best partβit is open the whole day long.
π³ The Green Oasis: Right next to the downtown area is Lithia Park. It is massive, full of shady trails, and completely free to explore or just enjoy reading a book.
π½οΈ The European Dinner: Grab a table at one of outdoor restaurant terraces along the Ashland Creek promenade for a meal with true European flair.
π The Grand Finale: You cannot visit without catching a play at the famous Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Try to book a show at the Allen Elizabethan Theatre for a magical open-air experience under the stars.
