Transcript DOERING: It’s Living on Earth, I’m Jenni Doering. CURWOOD: And I’m Steve Curwood. The world can be an awfully noisy place.

A quest in search of the quietest place in Oregon. 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?

The Basque Hills of southeast Oregon lie a trillion miles to the east of nowhere. That’s just an estimate, of course, but reaching them requires hours of driving across gravel roads followed by more hours of bouncing along faint two-track ruts across the desert of southeast Oregon. After that, a hike through an unremarkable landscape of sagebrush, more sagebrush and ever more sagebrush finally offers something hard to find in the modern age: solitude. That, and quiet.

The first thing you notice is the squish. Over the summer, I trudged across a little-known stretch of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula behind Joe Rocchio, natural heritage program manager for the Washington Department of Natural Resources. And with each step, I felt like I was about to punch through the spongy peat moss and sink into a subterranean lake. “Some people say it’s like a waterbed,” Rocchio said.

On Saturday, Sept. 23, summer shifted to fall. In addition to sweater weather and pumpkin spice lattes, fall is also a time for “leaf peeping” — the act of visiting forested areas to see trees transform to have red, orange and yellow leaves. The Pacific Northwest is known more for its conifers, but there are still pockets of fall foliage to find.
