You'll find Oregon, especially in the Grants Pass area, has tons of trail riding with equestrian areas set up for overnight camping, etc. If you like wilderness areas, there's plenty of that too. You also have quick access to No. Ca. areas, too. Moving from Az., you'll have to get used to winters, lots of rain, and some snow so there is not "year round" riding.

Yes! Big foot lives....
You will not need to worry about bigfoot, you will have so much trail fun you won't even notice him! We have ridden the Illinnois river drainage, up to "Babyfoot" lake, Onion Mtn, the trails from Hungry Horse, the Indian Mary Park trails, and all along the Rogue drainage. up the Umpqua, and all around the Willamette Valley. God touched this land, and if we humans can not ruin it, it will prevail. My folks live in Grants Pass, and I want to live in Selma or Cave Junction. ( Or Murphy, or Jacksonville, or......)

Ok, Have to ask this question. Is Bigfoot real?
You betcha ! I have only seen one once but i have smelled them ! There are lots of places to ride in Oregon and more and more horse camps.You will miss the stickers from the cactus and the creepy crawly stinging things.

{Ok, Have to ask this question. Is Bigfoot real?}
I went on a Bigfoot Research Expedition in August in the Cascade Mountains here in Washington, and was so freaked out I could hardly breath. We night walked, listening and watching for evidence or Bigfoot screams or howls. I picked up a big big stick when out there in the middle of nowhere, which caused the old timers to laugh. Not that it'd help, but it made me feel a tad bit better. I could not sleep that entire trip. Last week I camped up at Emigrant Springs horse camp in Oregon, on the way home from an endurance ride in Idaho, and packed duffel bags and pillows around my gooseneck trailer windows I was so freaked out that Bigfoot would come peek in my windows - haha. My ride partner thought I was nuts. I said if I looked out to check my horse and Bigfoot was there looking in my window, I would die right there on the spot. Check out the info on your area on this website... there are sightings all over the place. http://www.bfro.net/
Normal people, people with nothing to gain, law enforecment driving the highways late at night, hunters, groups on a nature hike, etc report things all the time.

We love to horse camp, central oregon ( Sisters, Redmond area) has some amazing trails, that gives you a chance to get the feel of the desert. One of our favorite places is actually located in Eastern Oregon, Burns, (south steens campground) it's a place that not many go, miles and miles of beautiful trails, great campground, water, stalls & bathrooms.

One thing I noticed about my trip through northeastern Oregon is that some of the rest areas have horse areas. I have never seen that in Washington. It was a really nice surprise. You could stop for a break, unload your horse in a safe place, and turn them out in a fenced area so they can take a break and roll, pee, run a few circles, etc. *
