    While not an amazing attraction, it's a cool stop if you're in the area. Fairly steep short walk up…read morea paved path to an open area with a rock. Rocks, actually. No facilities of any kind.

    We learned about Erratic Rock State Natural Area when looking at a map of what to check out while…read morein the area, and it's easy to miss if you're not looking out for it. But once you do find it, it will be a nice side trip from all the wine tasting. My partner and I visited Erratic Rock State Natural Area and followed Google Maps for directions. But when Google said we reached our destination, all we saw were private residences and one of those residences had a sign that said you are not at Erratic Rock State Natural Area AKA don't come to this house! We then backtracked where we were and finally saw the sign pointing to the natural area, which led up to a grassy walkway along a vineyard. We then noticed across from the entrance was room for a few cars to park along the side of the road. After parking and entering the site, there was some information about the erratic rocks making their way here from the Missoula flood, which gave good background. Along the trail, you will steadily walk up 200 yards to where the erratic rocks are, and there's a nice view of the area from there. It's an easy walk up to see some historical, geological shapes that are telling of our landscape. Just take a break from all that wine and visit!

    We are lucky to have many great parks in the area, but Galen McBee is one of my very favorites. It…read moreis unique as far as parks go, in fact I would call it more of a nature walk or short hike. There is a fair amount of parking, not lots, but I have never seen it very busy. It is a popular spot for dogs too, but honestly, the trails are long enough that we rarely encounter many other visitors. It is simply a lovely wooded ramble, verdant with ferns and trees, thimbleberries, trillium, a trickling creek complet with bridge, mushrooms growing all over.....Speaking of which, one of the best parts of this park is a giant moss-covered mushroom house you can walk right in to! It is freaking adorable, and I don't know how it isn't this area's Instagram go-to. There are also other neat sculptures (no longer running water fountains but still pretty!) to discover as you meander the path, plus benches and picnic tables too. Near the end there is an area where the trail breaks off into a couple different off shoots, and I swear the first time we visited we chose the wrong path 3 or 4 times, so we kept ending up in the same spot! Basically, it loops around the outskirts of the park, and then to leave you take a path through the interior. Head toward the area that goes down to the creek, and you'll be out in no time. Overall, this is a special spot to enjoy nature. It feels much larger than it is, and is a great escape, even from McMinnville, a not-so-big little city.
