A quest in search of the quietest place in Oregon.
Brandon Swanson / OPB
Quiet can be an elusive thing, especially in an urban environment. Going out into nature is a good way to escape the sounds of the city, but trails are often full of people talking, dogs barking and you can still hear road noise from a lot of parks and hiking spots. Some people even feel the need to bring a Bluetooth speaker along with them when they’re out in nature. So how can you find a place that is truly quiet? And what would that be like? Ed Jahn is the executive producer of Oregon Field Guide, and he recently went on a quest to find the quietest spot in all of Oregon. In this Evergreen episode, he takes us to that place.
