Join us for the October SUV drive for a leisurely drive through the wine country and West Hills. The first leg travels on scenic backroads to Carlton Lower Park for a rest stop. The second leg travels on backroads through the Carlton and Yamhill wine area, then circumvents Forest Grove to the west and continues up to Skyline in the West Hills and Forest Heights.
