I’ve already shared my favorite place to get out and ride. (Hint: it’s hilly and sandy and rhymes with “runes”. You guessed it — the Oregon Sand Dunes.)
What I haven’t mentioned until now is that my favorite month to Jeep happens to be June.
Yes, June — the official month that starts summer. Or, as is the case in Oregon where I live, a wildly in-between time for weather. As an example, this past Monday it was 99 degrees Fahrenheit in Portland. This Friday the high is expected to be 64 degrees!
Anyway, partly because of the time of year, the fluctuating temperatures, and the fact that I’ve been cooped up all winter, I make it a point to venture out as much as possible in my vintage CJ-7 each June.
Following are my top Jeep events and destinations for the month of June — loosely divided by north, south, east, and west in the United States.
This list is subjective, of course. And you undoubtedly have your own favorite Jeep destinations in these regions. The point is: just get out and ride this month. There are plenty of June Jeep events to choose from!
