TRAVEL
Salishan is located on the coast, about 3 miles south of Lincoln City. This is about a 3-hour drive (see map and directions) from Portland International Airport (PDX). Ground transportation options to Salishan from PDX include one chartered bus, shuttle service, or rental car. SeaPort Airlines flies directly to to Newport, OR (25 miles south of Salishan). Ground transportation must be arranged from Newport to Salishan.

AIRPORT BUS
The Symposium will organize one bus that will leave the Portland airport at 2:00pm Thursday afternoon. The bus will leave Salishan to return to the Portland airport on Monday, departing Salishan at 9 a.m. and arriving at the airport around noon. The cost of a bus ticket is $40 one-way or $75 round-trip. You may reserve and pay for your bus ticket(s) online.

BEFORE AND AFTER THE MEETING
It may be more convenient for you to spend the nights of Oct. 6 and/or Oct. 11 in Portland. Many Portland hotels offer special OHSU rates. Please be sure to mention your affiliation with OHSU when making inquiries.

WEATHER
The weather at the Oregon coast during October is pleasant but cool and often rainy. We recommend you bring a light jacket for days and something warm for evenings. If you plan to go hiking, be sure to bring suitable shoes and rain gear.

ALTERNATE HOTELS
If our room block at Salishan sells out as expected, the resort will take names for a waiting list. We recommend getting on the Salishan waiting list and also making a back-up reservation at an alternate hotel in Lincoln City, where ther are many lodging options. See below for options closest to Salishan. Please note that while they may seem close enough to walk, there is no sidewalk on the busy highway. If you won't have a car, taxi service is available.
