The Oregon Trail Wholly Ghost Tour
Hitch Your Wheels Along The Oregon Trail Wholly Ghost Tour, September 6-20, 2025
Embark on a mesmerizing journey through Oregon's most breathtaking landscapes as the Wholly Ghost Tour weaves together the rustic charm of coastal retreats, the allure of forested mountains, and the timeless elegance of Rolls-Royce Silver Ghosts. Imagine the salty breeze of the Pacific brushing against your face as you arrive at The Cannery in Astoria, where panoramic views of the Columbia River set the tone for adventure. Drift along the iconic Highway 101, where mist-shrouded cliffs meet crashing waves, before settling into the serene luxury of Cannon Beach's Surf Sand Resort.
Further inland, McMinnville beckons with its quaint charm and world-class wine country, offering a taste of Oregon's finest flavors. As you glide deeper into the state's heart, the crystalline waters of Crater Lake await — a shimmering sapphire jewel cradled by ancient volcanic cliffs. Nights are spent in elegant lodges like Timberline and Riverhouse, where the glow of a fire and the camaraderie of fellow enthusiasts bring each day's adventure to a perfect close. Every twist and turn on this epic route reveals a new wonder, each hotel stop a gateway to Oregon's wild beauty and rich history.
