Active Pursuits

If you want to do some mountain hiking without all that uphill slogging, head to Mount Bachelor (tel. 800/829-2442 or 541/382-2442; www.mtbachelor.com), where, from early July to early September, a chair lift operates to the 9,065-foot summit. The fare is $12 for adults, $11 for seniors, and $8 for children ages 6 to 12. From here you may either ride the chair or hike down.
