The Best of Oregon

To 19th-century pioneers, Oregon was the promised land, and things havent changed much in the ensuing 150 years. Native Oregonians and recent transplants are both envisioning new ways to make the state a better place. Farmers are pioneering sustainable farms close to urban centers, while urban pioneers are eschewing cars in favor of bicycles. This innovative outlook also expresses itself as a protectiveness of farmlands and forests, mountains and beaches. Together people and landscape spell the good life here, and for visitors, it is these same factors that make Oregon a great vacation destination.

Cities

Portland is Oregons only major metropolitan area, but the city, with its compact downtown, extensive streetcar and light-rail network, and vibrant outlying neighborhoods, is frequently held up as a model of livability. In central Oregon, Bend has become a wealthy boomtown surrounded by natural attractions. In the southern Oregon city of Ashland, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival takes center stage, while in Hood River, the lively downtown is full of outdoors types who come for the windsurfing and kiteboarding.

Countryside

While the ocean waters of the Oregon coast may be too cold for swimming, you can hike its rugged headlands and scan the Pacific for gray whales. On Mount Hood, there are miles of mountain trails, as well as year-round skiing and snowboarding. The Willamette Valley, which separates the Coast Range from the Cascades, is home to some of the nations top pinot noir wineries. Slicing through the Cascades, the Columbia River Gorge, sculpted by massive ancient floods, is a spectacular landscape of cliffs, waterfalls, and lush forests.

Eating & Drinking

Fresh, local, organic, sustainable... these are more than just buzzwords in Oregon. Here, people walk their talk. Whether youre eating at a wine-country bistro, a beach-town fish-and-chips shack, a burger joint, or a food cart, youll likely be told where and how the ingredients in your meal were produced. Accompany your meal with a local craft ale or a glass of Oregon pinot noir (either of which might be organic), and youll have a sense of how obsessed Oregonians are with their food and drinks.

The Oregon Coast

Stretching for 300 miles, Oregons Pacific shore is one of the nations most dramatic and varied coastlines. Rugged headlands, often crowned by historic lighthouses, separate sandy stretches of beach, and dense forests of giant trees rise directly from the crashing waves, imbuing this coastline with a sense of mystery. Take in the coasts scenic wonders in Cannon Beach, along the Three Capes Scenic Loop, in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, and in the Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor.

The Best Natural Attractions

The Oregon Coast: Rocky headlands, offshore islands and haystack rocks, natural arches, caves full of sea lions, giant sand dunes, and dozens of state parks make this one of the most spectacular coastlines in the country. The only drawback is that the water is too cold for swimming.

Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area: Carved by ice-age floodwaters up to 1,200 feet deep, the Columbia Gorge is a unique feature of the Oregon landscape. Waterfalls by the dozen cascade from the basalt cliffs of the gorge, and highways on both the Washington and Oregon sides of the Columbia River provide countless memorable views.

Mount Hood: As Oregons tallest mountain and the closest Cascade peak to Portland, Mount Hood is a recreational mecca 12 months a year. Hiking trails, lakes and rivers, and year-round skiing make this one of the most appealing natural attractions in the state.

Crater Lake National Park: At 1,932 feet deep, Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States, and its sapphire-blue waters are a bewitchingly beautiful sight when seen from the rim of the volcanic caldera that forms the lake.

Central Oregon Lava Lands: Throughout central Oregon and the central Cascades region, from the lava fields of McKenzie Pass to the obsidian flows of Newberry National Volcanic Monument, youll find dramatic examples of the volcanic activity that gave rise to the Cascade Range.
