Next Adventure
Whether you’re in the mood
for a tasty stop, a little shopping,
or a forest adventure, the
Illinois Valley has something
worth exploring. Pick one or
two experiences, depending
on your starting point, and
make the most of your
three-hour visit.
Trillium Bakery or Taylor’s Country Store
Cave Junction
Start with something delicious! Stop at Trillium Bakery for scratch-made pastries, coffee, or a leisurely breakfast. Visiting later in the day? Taylor’s Country Store offers another taste of the Illinois Valley, with its locally made sausage specialties and country-store favorites.
Suggested time: 30–60 minutes
Cave Junction
Discover a little local character at Peach Rock Market. Browse the offerings, find something unexpected, and enjoy a stop that adds a personal touch to your Illinois Valley adventure.
Suggested time: 20–40 minutes
Jeffrey Pine Loop & Little Falls Hike
North of Kerby
Trade the highway for a forest trail. Explore Jeffrey Pine Loop’s distinctive serpentine landscape, historic mining ditch, and views toward the Illinois River. Adventurous hikers can continue toward Little Falls for a longer outing.
Suggested time: Allow 1–2+ hours on the trails, depending on your route, plus driving time.
Before You Explore
Three hours can disappear quickly when you’re enjoying the Illinois Valley! Check business hours, trail conditions, and driving distances before heading out. The Jeffrey Pine Loop and Little Falls trails require extra time and are best enjoyed as the main adventure rather than a quick stop between shops.
