The PNW Holiday
written by 1859 Oregon’s Magazine staff photography by Toby Nolan WE’VE LEARNED A LOT about ourselves in 2020—what we need to comfortably subsist during a quarantine, and what we can do without. So in this year’s holiday gift guide, you won’t find much in the way of fancy purses or high heels, men’s shaving kits or bow ties. It’s not that those things aren’t lovely. They are. But what we’ve come to recognize about life in 2020 is that the best gift is togetherness—whether that’s over cocktails, in the kitchen, or out in the elements.

A SIGHT FOR SORE EYES photography by Richard Bacon THE CASCADE RANGE and Central Oregon’s landscape are beautiful year-round, but there’s nothing like a dusting of snow to take the beauty to the next level. Richard Bacon braved freezing temperatures and early mornings to share these sweeping vistas with 1859.
