As it stands, Oregon only has one full-fledged national park at Crater Lake. If things had gone differently, we could have had more.

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we dive back through time to talk about four places around the state that were once considered for national park status – and why they weren’t ultimately picked.

We also discuss whether or not the National Park Service should reconsider. Do Oregon’s beautiful natural landmarks deserve more respect? Or would it be a terrible idea?

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

A national park at Hells Canyon? Would it be worth it?
Why Oregon’s tallest mountain seems like a natural pick.
An Oregon Coast national park proposal captured the public’s imagination.
How the National Park Service did Silver Falls dirty.
