As I explore our plentiful hiking trails with my family and visit each of our 36 counties every year to hold town hall conversations, I reflect on the rewarding spots in our state. From our stunning and sprawling coast, mountains, forests, grasslands, and everything in between, every nook and cranny of Oregon has something special to offer,\u201d&nbsp;<strong>dijo Merkley.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe certainly need to keep working hard together to take on complex issues facing Oregon and America, but it\u2019s important to take breaks and restore our soul to meet these challenges. I&nbsp;put&nbsp;together the 2025 Oregon Treasures Quest book&nbsp;not only to highlight the beauty and adventures in our state, but also as a fun way to recharge and reconnect. A wonderful way to do that is to hit the road and explore the&nbsp;familiar favorites and hidden gems in our own backyards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is a great honor to represent the people of Oregon in the U.S. Senate. I hope folks will enjoy visiting every county of the state as much as I have.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024, hundreds of people participated in Senator Merkley\u2019s first Oregon Treasures Quest Challenge. This&nbsp;updated&nbsp;book, now in its second year,&nbsp;will help Oregonians and beyond find and enjoy even more sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To participate in the challenge, folks need to visit at least 10 different counties in the state by November 1, 2025, and submit selfies with the sites in the background. If participants visit sites in at least 10 different counties, they will win an invitation to the 2025 Oregon Treasures Quest Party, to be held near the end of the year, likely mid-November.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hacer clic&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/es\/connect\/oregon-treasures-quest\/\">AQU\u00cd<\/a>&nbsp;to visit the Oregon Treasures Quest website for more information about the challenge and how to submit entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">###<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington, D.C. \u2013 Oregon\u2019s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley&nbsp;is thrilled to announce his&nbsp;2025 Oregon Treasures Quest\u2014a compilation of many beautiful and exciting spots to explore in every county of the state.&nbsp; \u201cOregon is the most spectacular place.
