<p>Yes it is. As someone who traveled to Eugene from Portland the first time I visited UO I will forewarn you that it is not a “pretty” trip. It’s a pretty boring straight drive and not terribly scenic, but don’t let that put you off. Oregon is a beautiful state with a lot to offer, but that particular route does not give that impression!</p>
<p>While you are on campus, you can go to the library and get a map with a “Tree Tour” (you might be able to get that at admissions as well? ) . You can take a nice walking tour of campus with information about many of the different species growing there. It was a fun way to spend a little time exploring for us…we loved all of the trees on campus!</p>
<p>There is a little place right across from the bookstore where I enjoy eating lunch outside.
We ate there when we toured and it gave my daughter a good opportunity to people watch while we ate since many students go that route. </p>
<p>And be careful making right hand turns…lots of cyclists on the road.
Hope you have a wonderful trip!</p>
