2026 Travel Oregon Visitor Guide

TRAVEL OREGON VISITOR GUIDE

Welcome to Oregon

When’s the last time you took a vacation that was truly transformative? Consider these trips to Oregon this past year:

An adventure-seeking mom brought her family to Oregon looking for high-energy activities that would suit both her daughter and her son, who uses a wheelchair. They found easy access to waterfalls, boat rides and riverfront paths along the Columbia River Gorge.

A globe-trotting photographer with Down syndrome visited Eastern Oregon’s Painted Hills to experience this spectacular national landmark. He found joy photographing the rainbowhued landscapes, no matter that he doesn’t communicate in a neurotypical manner.

A professional dancer who recently lost the use of her legs visited Central Oregon, where she took a guided all-terrain wheelchair trek at Smith Rock State Park. Through the movement, she regained hope that she could still adventure in the outdoors.

These and other only-in-Oregon trips illuminate the impact of Wheel the World, a global platform that now partners with Travel Oregon and 43 of its communities across Oregon’s seven tourism regions. With this new tool, visitors of all ages, backgrounds and mobilities can plan their trips to Oregon with ease and confidence — finding reliable information on everything from accessible hotel rooms and parking spaces to paved trails, sensory-friendly museums and wheelchair-accessible beaches. (See related content on page 20.)

In fact, Oregon is the first and so far only U.S. state to be Accessibility Verified by Wheel the World — meaning that this information has been expertly vetted — and that makes travel better for everyone

This is just one of the countless ways Oregon is welcoming and open to all. From our cultural experiences and geologic wonders to our tax-free shopping and world-class food and beverage scenes, Oregon is an excellent place to take your first trip, or your 10th. We invite you to dive deep into our seven tourism regions — spanning our 363 miles of public coastline to our evergreen forests, snowcapped mountains, high-desert vistas, bountiful valleys and beyond. You don’t have to choose one experience or another when you can do it all. So rally your crew, plan your trip, stay a while and come back again soon.

They’re only this age once

is for

Here’s a little unsolicited advice. Take your kids on vacations when they’re young. Doesn’t have to be for a long time. Could even be a surprise beach weekend somewhere within easy reach, somewhere like Seaside. Because when they get older they aren’t going to remember routines and regular days. They are going to remember the way going on adventures with you made them feel.

Oregon is a Place of Contrasts

With seven distinct regions, Oregon is home to alpine lakes and high desert, coastal forests and farmland, cities and tiny towns alike. But you don’t have to choose what to experience — you can do it all, often in one day. This place is big enough, curious enough and open-minded enough to contain multitudes. Oregon invites you to experience the beauty and harmony of the State of OR.

HIKING & RUNNING

From ocean headlands to alpine peaks, Oregon’s trails and parks offer plenty of wide-open spaces for fresh air. Take a quick jaunt, a multiday hike or a challenging trail run, but please remember to always pack out what you pack in, including waste from your four-legged hiking buddy.

Hikers love Oregon’s signature trails. The rugged Oregon Coast Trail follows the state’s shoreline along beaches, through forests and over rocky headlands. Farther east, the Pacific Crest Trail reveals soaring Cascade summits, alpine forests and crystal-clear lakes stretching from the Bridge of the Gods to the Siskiyou Mountains. Snowy-peak views and summertime wildflowers await from along the Paradise Park Loop, which leaves from Mt. Hood’s Timberline Lodge. The BanksVernonia State Trail connects the two namesake towns on a scenic stretch of a former railroad. The appropriately named Trail of Ten Falls showcases nearly a dozen waterfalls in Silver Falls State Park, which recently reopened with accessible camping and trail upgrades after a major renovation. Looking for stellar views as you hike? After you’ve snagged your Central Cascades Wilderness Permit, hike to the lavacovered Little Belknap Crater, the tranquil shore of Green

Green Lakes

Lakes or the base of Broken Top near Bend. In the Gorge, find a trio of beautiful and accessible waterfall trails — all within a 2-mile/3-kilometer stretch — at Latourell Falls, which tumbles in a basin of columnar basalt, as well as Shepperd’s Dell Falls and Bridal Veil Falls.

Just about everyone loves an easy, scenic trail. On the Southern Oregon Coast, the easy Sunset Bay Beach Trail at Sunset Bay State Park wanders along the park’s sheltered cove, which is great for beachcombing. Nearby Cape Arago and Shore Acres state parks have accessible routes with some of the Coast’s most iconic views. In the McKenzie River Valley, hike through lava beds to Proxy Falls — a segmented horsetail waterfall — in an old-growth forest. In Eastern Oregon, hike to Hoffer Lakes for wildflower meadows and views of the Elkhorn Mountains.

Visit TravelOregon.com/Hiking for top trails in the state.

CAMPING & STARGAZING

Oregon’s campgrounds awaken your senses. You can pitch a tent under a starry night sky not far from Portland at L.L. Stub Stewart State Park, or smell the fresh air from your campsite near Oregon Caves National Monument in Southern Oregon. Enjoy starry skies from a cabin over the canyon rim at Cottonwood Canyon State Park, or listen to the roar of the rolling surf from a coastal yurt at Fort Stevens State Park Thousands of tent and RV sites await in state parks, national forests and wilderness areas — just remember to book your site early, consider a midweek trip, and check back often for cancellations or seek a site that is first come, first served.

One of the best reasons to go camping in Oregon? You’ll almost surely enjoy skies full of twinkling stars. The small communities of Antelope and Sisters were added to the growing list of International Dark Sky Places in the state, joining other areas like the 2.5-million-acre /1-million-hectare Oregon Outback International Dark Sky Sanctuary, the largest of its kind to date. Consider bringing your camera for dazzling astrophotography, joining a guided night hike, attending a star-party event or participating in a ranger-led stargazing experience, offered at places like the Dark Sky International-designated Prineville Reservoir State Park in Central Oregon.

Wherever you stargaze, we encourage you to follow a few tips for the best experience: Check the forecast to avoid heavy cloud cover. Be prepared as you travel to remote areas, where cell service and gas stations are limited. Bring a paper map along with your telescope and mobile stargazing app. Support and be respectful of nearby small communities as you travel, and always pack out whatever you packed in.

Visit TravelOregon.com/StarrySkies for more inspiration and a map to the dark-sky areas of the state.

WILDLIFE WATCHING

Oregon’s outdoors are full of untamed creatures, and visitors have many options for observing their natural habits. Magnificent gray whales — measuring as long as 49 feet/15 meters — make appearances along the Oregon Coast during spring and winter migrations, while a few resident whales hang near the Coast year-round. Nearly 25,000 gray whales swim northward from the calving grounds in Mexico to the Bering Strait in spring and can be viewed from 24 official whale-watching points. The Coast is also the place to spot marine mammals on the rocky promontories and bays — remember to keep your distance. The skies fill with birdlife in spring and fall, when more than 500 bird species migrate along the Pacific Flyway and can be viewed from notable birding sites like the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge, the Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge and the Summer Lake Wildlife Area , as well as along the Coast.

Once a rarity, bald eagles can now be seen year-round fishing along the banks of Oregon rivers and in winter at locations like Lake Billy Chinook and The Dalles. In winter Roosevelt elk come down from higher elevations in the Blue and Wallowa mountains to feed in the foothills and meadows. Up to 100 Roosevelt elk can be seen year-round at Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area near Reedsport. Lucky lookers can catch a glimpse of the free-running herd of mustangs in the Kiger Gorge near Diamond and on the slopes of Steens Mountain in Eastern Oregon. If you’re lucky enough to spot wildlife, use your zoom lens and observe from afar. Visit MyODFW.com for more, including wildlife-viewing maps.

FISHING

Oregon’s rivers, lakes and coastline draw avid fisherfolk year-round. Coastal outfitters lead charters to fish for ocean-dwelling rockfish, lingcod, halibut and albacore tuna. Visitors can try for Dungeness crab in the first certifiedsustainable crab fishery in the world and dig along the Coast for fast-moving razor clams. Inland lakes stocked with trout offer a family-friendly introduction to fishing, and experts cast for elusive steelhead on the North Umpqua, Deschutes, McKenzie and John Day rivers. The mighty Columbia River is where to find returning chinook and coho salmon as well as deep-swimming sturgeon.

Visit MyODFW.com/Fishing for more information about licenses, where to fish and what’s in season.

BICYCLING

Cyclists adore Oregon, and Oregon loves them back. Road cyclists have plenty of Scenic Bikeways to explore, while fans of gravel riding, mountain biking and fat biking embrace less-traveled trails across the state.

Oregon was the first state to establish a Scenic Bikeways program. Today the program comprises 18 rides that showcase the most beautiful road-cycling routes in the state. The Aufderheide Scenic Bikeway winds through old-growth forests and past spectacular mountain views, connecting cyclists to trailheads and hot springs. The Cascading Rivers Scenic Bikeway follows the Clackamas and Breitenbush rivers for 71 miles/114 kilometers with a shorter, family-friendly option starting in Estacada.

In recent years, a growing number of gravel riders have discovered our bumpy back roads, heart-pumping hill climbs and byways. The new Yamhill County Gravel Trail System features well-marked routes out of McMinnville and Yamhill. The Oregon Coast Gravel Guide by Dirty Freehub includes 10 routes with QR codes to download offline maps.

The mountain biking destination of Grants Pass has an expanding network of trails, Dollar Mountain, that allows

e-bikes, too. Oakridge sits in the Cascade Range near Eugene and has a gold-level rating by the International Mountain Bicycling Association. Elsewhere, the Mount Emily Recreation Area near La Grande and the Whiskey Run Trails system between Bandon and Coos Bay offer rides for all skill levels.

With chubby, grippy tires, fat bikes take on sandy beaches, snowy tracks and loose-dirt trails for year-round riding. The sand dunes near Florence offer excellent riding that combines hills and packed sand on the Central Coast. In winter, fat-bikers ride snowy trails around Bend on guided tours with Cog Wild.

For an adaptive mountain bike ride, the Willamette Valley is now home to several new trails.

For more about two-wheeled adventures in Oregon — including where to find shops, outfitters, guides and rentals — visit TravelOregon.com/Bicycling.

SNOW SPORTS

Oregon is home to 12 unique ski and snowboard areas, ranging from affordable mom-and-pop resorts to world-class destinations. These resorts, located along the iconic Cascade Range and in mountain ranges across Southern and Eastern Oregon, offer lessons and equipment rentals along with additional winter activities including Nordic skiing, snowshoeing and tubing. To avoid the stress of winter driving and parking, consider taking public transit to the mountain whenever possible. If you do drive, be sure to check TripCheck.com for current weather and road conditions. For more details on enjoying Oregon’s mountain resorts, visit TravelOregon.com/Snow-Sports.

WATER PLAY

Bordered by the Pacific Ocean on the west and the Columbia River to the north — with alpine lakes perched up high, and pristine rivers flowing from the mountains — Oregon is a water lover’s playground with waves and waterways to suit thrill seekers and chill seekers alike. Be sure to wear a well-fitted personal flotation device — find more information at Boat.Oregon.gov.

No matter your experience, you’ll find plentiful destinations for stand-up paddleboarding — including a placid slough near Scappoose Bay, the bucolic Willamette River and turquoise pools along the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway near Bend.

If you prefer a canoe or kayak, paddle the watery mazes of the Salmon River Estuary near Lincoln City; string together a multinight outing on the Willamette Water Trail; and watch for beavers, pelicans and other wildlife along the Upper Klamath Canoe Trail near Klamath Falls. Up for whitewater-rafting thrills? The Clackamas River takes beginners and families through splashy rapids; the Lower Deschutes River near Maupin courses through khaki-colored rimrock; and the Wild and Scenic Owyhee River challenges whitewater enthusiasts with remote multiday floats.

Speed through scenic landscapes with high-octane jet-boat tours. Zip along the Wild and Scenic Rogue River after starting from either Gold Beach or Grants Pass, catch a view of the massive Willamette Falls in Oregon City, and head into Eastern Oregon’s Hells Canyon, the deepest river gorge in North America.

Let Mother Nature lead the way when you try kiteboarding and windsurfing in the Columbia River Gorge. Hood River sits on the Columbia River and is nicknamed the “windsurfing capital of the world” for good reason. On the Oregon Coast, Pistol River State Scenic Viewpoint is the place for catching big air.

Wherever you wind up, guides and outfitters are nearby to help you get started. For trip ideas, see TravelOregon.com/ Things-To-Do/Outdoor-Recreation.

WATERFALL WONDERS

Tucked in between the Coast and Cascade mountain ranges, some of the

Willamette Valley’s most beautiful waterfalls can be enjoyed from accessible trails and viewing platforms. Near Oakridge, Salt Creek Falls is the second-highest single-drop waterfall in Oregon. Find Sahalie Falls, which plunges into foamy whitewater, just off of the McKenzie River Highway near McKenzie Bridge.

OUTDOOR EXTRAVAGANZA

It’s fitting that the outdoor playground of Central Oregon is home to Oregon Adaptive Sports, which makes active outdoor recreation accessible to many. Programs include guided cycling,

PEACEFUL PADDLE

Accessible kayak launches and marinas offer easy access to peaceful waters in the likes of Coos Bay, Reedsport, Alsea, Florence, Garibaldi and Wheeler.

Paddlers can also access the Deschutes River from a new put-in at Miller’s Landing Park in Bend.

In 2025, Oregon became the first state to be Accessibility Verified by travel platform Wheel the World. To provide clear, reliable information about accessible attractions, lodgings, restaurants and more, Travel Oregon has teamed up with Wheel the World to evaluate and describe hundreds of businesses across the state for visitors with disabilities.

GOLF

OREGON FOOD SCENE

Oregon is famous for its culinary scene, with numerous award-winning chefs and restaurants to show for it. You’ll find a robust wine selection paired with small plates at Willamette Valley restaurant Antica Terra in Amity, whose chef Timothy Wastell won the 2025 James Beard Award for Best Chef: Northwest and Pacific.

If you’re interested in other 2025 James Beard-recognized spots, both MÄS in Ashland and Nodoguro in Portland have Japanese-inspired menus with unique twists. Portland earned even more James Beard recognition for Scotch Lodge, a whisky bar featuring a tasting menu emphasizing fresh ingredients from land and sea, and Coquine, which serves seasonal comfort food using ingredients sourced from regenerative farms. Portland classic Le Pigeon, known for its vegetarian and omnivore set menus, offers updated French bistro fare.

Visitor favorites Yardy Rum Bar in Eugene — a Caribbean spot owned by

James Beard semifinalist Isaiah Martinez — and The Paper Bridge in Portland, which focuses on Northern Vietnamese cuisine, both made the New York Times’ list of the top 50 U.S. restaurants in 2025. In Portland, be sure to check out Haitian-influenced Kann, which appears this year on “North America’s 50 Best Restaurants” list.

Plenty of new restaurants are shining across the state, from Bend’s modern steakhouse Hawkeye & Huckleberry Lounge to Ashland’s Tlalli, serving a wide-reaching menu of flavors from Latin America. Daphne in Astoria offers beautifully plated new Northwest cuisine, and Domek dishes up pierogis and other Eastern European treats to Eugene diners. Portland has plenty to try out, including the Portugal/Japan fusion menu at Terra Mae — atop the wellness boutique hotel Cascada — and Sunday Sauce, where diners enjoy classic Italian-American comfort food.

ICONIC OREGON RESTAURANTS

No matter what part of Oregon you visit, you’re sure to find fantastic spots worth the trip to taste local ingredients, from intimate farm stands where you can meet local producers to iconic restaurants where Oregon’s bounty takes center stage. Take inspiration from one of the Oregon Food Trails to sample the best in Oregon fare or experience classic eateries that have long-standing fans for good reason.

OREGON COAST

Seafood fans will find plenty to keep them satisfied on the Oregon Coast. This 363-mile-long /584-kilometer region is known for specialties such as albacore tuna, Dungeness crab and razor clams, available at seafood shacks and sit-down restaurants alike. For beer-battered albacore tuna served with extra-thick steak fries, head to Astoria’s Bowpicker Fish & Chips, a walk-up spot housed in a converted gillnet boat. Newport’s Local Ocean offers the freshest seafood from boats just offshore, serving everything from Dungeness crab cakes to soup brimming with locally caught fish and shellfish.

PORTLAND REGION

The Portland Region is at the epicenter of Oregon’s dining scene, marrying big-city variety with easy access to fresh ingredients sourced from the state’s farms and waterways. Even casual spots such as Ken’s Artisan Pizza — known for its wood-fired pies made from slowfermented dough in both Portland and Bend — highlight quality, local ingredients. Another must-visit in Portland is Jake’s Famous Crawfish, which opened its doors back in 1892, making it one of the oldest restaurants in the whole state. Don’t miss the crawfish étouffée.

WILLAMETTE VALLEY

A visit to the Willamette Valley puts you in the heart of some of Oregon’s finest farmlands, equally ideal for growing vegetables and producing wine. At McMinnville favorite Nick’s Italian Cafe, you’ll find glass pours from surrounding vineyards and a full menu of Italian-inspired pastas, seafood and homey desserts. In Eugene Party Bar has a community vibe with a raw bar serving Pacific Northwest oysters, plus seasonal dishes with farm-sourced ingredients like heritage squash or sweet tea-brined fried chicken.

MT. HOOD AND THE COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE

For fueling up for a day on the mountain or windsurfing on the Columbia, outdoor enthusiasts find hearty grub here. In Government Camp, family-owned Huckleberry Inn has been serving hungry snow bunnies and passing motorists since 1966. Expect a solid menu of all-American comfort food for breakfast,

lunch and dinner — and save room for a slice of huckleberry pie for dessert. For breakfast or treats, don’t miss Hood River’s Pine Street Bakery for a sandwich stacked on freshly baked bread or piles of decadent pastries.

CENTRAL OREGON

While Sisters is beloved for its Old West flair, SnoCap Drive In has a bit more of a 1950s vibe, which is fitting given that this all-American spot has been serving up old-fashioned burgers and thick milkshakes since opening its doors back in 1954. In Bend Sparrow Bakery offers bistro fare, such as croque monsieur sandwiches and cardamom-scented ocean rolls made of croissant dough.

EASTERN OREGON

For a quiet and rural part of the state, Eastern Oregon offers an impressive selection of restaurants, many of which are family-owned. One such spot is Haines Steakhouse on Highway 30 in

Haines, which has been serving up brisket, rib eye and barbecue ribs for over two decades. In Nyssa The Rock Store pairs hearty burgers and craft beers inside the rock-faced Owyhee Grocery building, which was constructed back in 1932.

SOUTHERN OREGON

Southern Oregon’s dining scene has everything from upscale farm-to-table restaurants to casual restaurants that the whole family will love. Larks Home Kitchen Cuisine is among the most beloved options in town, offering locavore cuisine including local produce and cheese supplied by celebrated Rogue Creamery. For a one-of-a-kind experience in the heart of the Oregon Outback, mosey on over to the cash-only Cowboy Dinner Tree, where you can enjoy a cooked-to-order meal of sirloin steak or whole roasted chicken — be sure to reserve in advance.

OREGON’S TOP FOOD-CART PODS

Food carts are an integral part of Oregon’s culinary culture. Portland alone has more than 600 food carts, most of which are found grouped in pods, complete with communal tables and often covered seating and fire pits. One of Portland’s newest pods, Brooklyn Carreta, launched in 2025 and features 18 vendors and a full bar. Other popular pods in the Portland Region include The Flock and Hinterland, Zesti Food Carts in Forest Grove, and Hillsboro Downtown Station

You’ll find top-notch food-cart pods beyond Portland, too. In Coos Bay, the Front Street Food Trucks pod offers indoor and outdoor dining areas plus events from trivia nights to bingo, while The Podski in Bend offers an eclectic selection of carts plus a bar and live music. Eugene’s Beergarden has culinary specialties from around the world and 42 brews on tap.

Visit a farm stand or bakery; sample award-winning wine and beer just steps from where the fruit and hops were grown; pet fuzzy animals; and pick up artisan treats to take home.

EXPERIENCE WINE COUNTRY

Oregon’s modern wine industry traces its roots to the 1960s, when a few passionate dreamers planted vines in the Umpqua and Willamette valleys. In the decades since, the state’s award-winning wine scene has blossomed to more than 1,100 wineries and 23 distinct growing areas (also known as American Viticultural Areas, or AVAs). Today Oregon is the third-largest wine grape-producing state in the nation. Oregon wineries, often family-owned, focus on small-batch, high-quality production.

WILLAMETTE VALLEY

The Willamette Valley AVA sits between the Coast and Cascade mountain ranges, and stretches for more than 150 miles/241 kilometers from the Columbia River to just south of Eugene. Most famous for world-class pinot noir, the valley produces stellar pinot gris, gamay, chardonnay and other cool-climate wines. The fertile region has nurtured more than 800 wine venues across multiple AVAs. Look for sparkling wines, too, as several have won prestigious awards, including ROCO Winery and CHO Wines, which landed on Wine Enthusiast’s Top 100 list in 2024.

SOUTHERN OREGON

Situated among rugged mountains and wild rivers, Southern Oregon wines are as adventurous as the landscape. Look for varieties that thrive in warm weather — including tempranillo, albariño and sangiovese — from more than 150 producers near Grants Pass, Medford and Ashland. The Rogue Valley was recognized as the second best wine region in the country by USA Today in 2025. Wine Enthusiast called out Foris Vineyards in the Illinois Valley and Peter William Vineyard and Del Rio Vineyard Estate in the Rogue Valley for top-rated best buys in 2025.

Brooks Wine JORDAN

COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE & MT. HOOD

Just an hour east of Portland, the stunning Columbia River Gorge and Mt. Hood region presents a world of wine all its own. On this vibrant swath of land within the Columbia Gorge AVA, winemakers create more than 30 varietals at dozens of wineries — including bold barbera, spicy sangiovese and crisp grüner veltliner.

EASTERN OREGON

The sun-kissed, rolling farmlands cradle one of the best-kept secrets of Oregon wine country: the southernmost slice of the world-famous Walla Walla Valley AVA. The Oregon wineries in the region are small in number and big on character — all reflecting the tireless work ethic of longtime farming communities. Sample regional pours at tasting rooms in the Rocks District of the Milton-Freewater AVA.

URBAN WINERIES & THE OREGON COAST

In downtown Portland and urban centers like Bend, Eugene and Roseburg, wine lovers connect at urban tasting rooms, wine bars and bottle shops. At these cozy, fun spots, you can hear the latest about new vintages and regions to experience as you sample flights from all over Oregon. On the Coast, you’ll find tasting rooms and bottle shops — and even a few wineries — close to the beach. Try a flight or take home a bottle or two for your weekend getaways and picnics.

OREGON’S CRAFT BREWS

Oregon has been at the forefront of the country’s craft-beer revolution for decades and comprises many hundreds of breweries and taprooms. You’ll find excellent food, locally grown hops and welcoming vibes at award-winning breweries across the state.

At the Great American Beer Festival in 2025, Bend newcomer UPP Liquids took home gold medals in the Honey Beer and Specialty Berliner-Style Weisse categories, a mere four months after launching operations. Other Oregon gold medalists worth a visit include Alesong Brewing & Blending in Eugene; Deschutes Brewery in Bend; pFriem in Hood River and Milwaukie; and Grand Fir Brewing and Von Ebert Brewing, both in Portland.

Astoria’s community gathering spot Fort George Brewery — famous for its stouts and block parties — took home a gold as well as the Best Brewpub

Experience prize at the Oregon Beer Awards. Portland’s Brujos Brewing was awarded the title of Best New Brewery.

CIDER SCENE

Oregon is a major producer of both apples and pears, with an abundant harvest that lends itself perfectly to crafting refreshing ciders and their pear-based cousin, perries. One of the newest additions to Portland’s cider scene is Alchemy Cider Co., featuring a 30-tap taproom that showcases its own naturally fermented flavors alongside guest ciders and beers. Southern Oregon’s Apple Outlaw opened a new taproom and events space in the Applegate Valley in 2025, where visitors chill out to live music with small-batch ciders, pizza and cornhole games.

For award-winning cider, try Bauman’s Cider Company in Portland and 2 Towns Ciderhouse in Corvallis, which won multiple gold medals at the 2025 Northwest Cider Cup, alongside accolades for

pFriem Family Brewers

Sherwood’s 19 Acres Cider Co. and Blossom Barn Cidery near Grants Pass. Other Oregon gold medalists worth a visit include Seven Seeds Seidr of Forest Grove and Kristof Farms in the Willamette Valley.

Don’t miss cideries with exciting approaches all over the state. In Cascade Locks, Son of Man crafts its ciders in a traditional Basque style, while Dayton’s RAW Cider Co. relies on French methods to make naturally effervescent ciders. La Familia Cider Company in Salem and Portland uses Mexican-inspired recipes and tropical fruit for its blends.

SPIRITS OF OREGON

In recent years, passionate producers have spearheaded Oregon’s small-batch spirits revolution, and all sorts of spirits are available to sample — and buy by the bottle — at distilleries across the state. In Portland 11 distilleries collectively comprise Distillery Row, including

Westward Whiskey, a longtime Oregon favorite that relaunched in 2025 under new ownership. In the Willamette Valley town of Amity, New Brighton Distillery is making waves with smallbatch corn whiskey aged in toasted-oak barrels. Not too far away in Corvallis, 4 Spirits Distillery produces a wide range of spirits, with a portion of all sales going to support programs that help veterans. Marble Caves Distillery in Southern Oregon’s Cave Junction makes smallbatch, handcrafted spirits with local produce like apples, pears and grapes.

Oregon-produced nonalcoholic alternatives are available in stores across the state, including spirits crafted by Dhōs Spirits and cocktails by For Bitter For Worse. Learn more about the state’s spirits at OregonDistillersGuild.org.

TASTING TRAILS

Several official ale trails make it easy to sip your way through the state’s top craft

breweries. The Bend Ale Trail includes a tour of over 30 high-desert breweries, cideries and wineries — with its own special reward for designated drivers. Oregon’s North Coast Craft Beer Trail includes 15 breweries and tap rooms in Astoria, Seaside and Cannon Beach — visit eight locations to collect points, which you can exchange for a North Coast Craft Beer Trail mug. Visitors to Portland or the Willamette Valley should pick up or download a copy of the Explore Tualatin Valley Tap Guide, which highlights dozens of breweries, cideries and taphouses in the region west of Portland. Don’t miss the Breweries in the Gorge passport, which includes eight stops on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge.

OREGON HERITAGE TRADITIONS

More than two dozen Oregon events have earned the Oregon Heritage Tradition designation, an honor bestowed on select events that embody the Oregon spirit — and are over 50 years old. Here are a few that you won’t want to miss.

CENTRAL OREGON

Independence Day gets a special twist in Bend at the 4th of July Pet Parade. During this annual tradition that officially started in 1932, costumed pets strut through town, much to the delight of large crowds of spectators. Expect plenty of dogs as well as horses, goats and even llamas.

In August Tygh Valley’s Wasco County Fair and Rodeo — which first started in 1885 — draws in visitors with carnival rides, a craft fair, livestock exhibitions and a host of rodeo events. Live music and a beer garden keep the fun going well into the evening.

EASTERN OREGON

Since 1908 the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show has been honoring the spirit of Eastern Oregon with a rodeo, horse racing, livestock shows and a community parade. There’s also plenty for kids and teens at this June event, including 4-H and Future Farmers of America events, plus dances for the 21-and-older set.

Established in 1910, the Pendleton Round-Up features everything you might expect from Oregon’s best-known rodeo, from barrel-racing competitions to bucking broncos. A highlight of this weeklong celebration, held annually in September, is the Happy Canyon Pageant and Wild West Show, which was added to the festivities in 1916. This evening performance — a designated heritage tradition in its own right — tells the story of the American West from before European settlement up until the pioneer days and beyond.

OREGON COAST

Held every year in May, the Brookings Harbor Azalea Festival celebrates the beauty of Oregon’s South Coast with a community parade, a street market, a quilt show and live music. Many of the festivities of this community event, which started in 1939, take place among the colorful blooms of Azalea Park.

Founded in 1964, the Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest today comprises a full weekend of beachy fun in June. The lineup includes a live demonstration from a master sandcastle builder, a bonfire with s’mores, a 5K run and walk, as well as a variety of sand sculptures to admire.

The Astoria Regatta honors the coastal city’s maritime heritage each August with five days of fun. Festivities at this local tradition — which dates to 1894 — include a boat parade, mini sailboat and other races plus many activities for kids.

PORTLAND REGION

Since 1907 the Portland Rose Festival has kicked off the summer in the City of Roses with a lineup of iconic events, including parades, a carnival and fireworks. This year the signature event combines the Grand Floral and Starlight parades and will feature 125 entries, including marching bands, equestrians  and massive floats adorned with roses.

Every autumn, the Portland Greek Festival shares the community’s thriving Greek culture through a full weekend of folk dancing, educational exhibits, filling dishes and tours of the on-site Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church.

SOUTHERN OREGON

Springtime in Medford is ushered in by the Pear Blossom Festival, which dates

to 1954. This major annual event features a gigantic parade and street vendors, plus food and beverage tastings that showcase the bounty of Southern Oregon.

The humble potato gets its due at the Klamath Basin Potato Festival, which has been bringing the Merrill community together since 1937. Highlights of this October celebration include a parade, a talent show and plenty of vendors selling crafts and food — including, naturally, plenty of potato goodies.

WILLAMETTE VALLEY

Oregon’s oldest designated heritage tradition, the Oregon State Fair, dates to 1858, the year before Oregon gained official statehood. What started as a way for farmers to come together now draws in visitors from all backgrounds who come

to Salem in late summer to enjoy carnival rides, live music, livestock competitions and crafts.

Despite its similar name, the Oregon Country Fair near Eugene feels worlds apart from its Salem counterpart.

Established in 1969, this kid-friendly, flower-power affair — held every July — features artisan booths, live music, whimsical costume parades and plenty of tie-dye.

The Woodburn Fiesta Mexicana has been celebrating Oregon’s Mexican American heritage since 1964. This August tradition includes a packed weekend of lucha libre (Mexican wrestling), tasty food, crafts, rides, family-friendly games and plenty of Mariachi music. Don’t miss the traditional music, dance and colorful floats at the Fiesta’s parade.

TRIBAL CULTURE

Indigenous people have long inhabited what is now Oregon, with cultures as rich and diverse as the landscapes they live on. Today the nine federally recognized tribes welcome you to their homelands, where you can visit museums and cultural centers, experience powwows, and enjoy the hospitality of tribally owned resorts. You can also purchase fresh Columbia River salmon and sturgeon from tribal fishers and Native-owned markets to enjoy this culturally important food.

BURNS PAIUTE TRIBE

The Harney Basin in Eastern Oregon is the heart of the Burns Paiute tribal homeland, where archaeological evidence points to a tribal history spanning more than 750 generations. With its rocky buttes, wild horses and views that seem to stretch on forever, Burns Paiute country exemplifies the expansive beauty of the high desert. The Burns Paiute Powwow and Lacrosse Tournament in October brings together drumming contests, dance competitions and lacrosse, a modern version of a centuries-old Native American game.

CONFEDERATED TRIBES OF COOS, LOWER UMPQUA AND SIUSLAW INDIANS

Since before written records, the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw peoples have thrived along the freshwater rivers and saltwater bays of the Coast. From the red cedar tree they built weathertight plank houses; traveled in dugout canoes; and crafted clothing, baskets, ropes and medicines from its bark and boughs. The tribes remain deeply connected to the region around the thriving coastal communities of Florence and Coos Bay, the heart of tribal lands.

COQUILLE INDIAN TRIBE

The bountiful forests and waters of Southwest Oregon have long been home to the Coquille Indian Tribe. Salmon in particular plays an important role in the culture of the Coquille. The tribe’s Ko-Kwel Salmon Celebration in September honors the return of the salmon to coastal waters, and provides a stage to share the heritage and traditions of the tribe with visitors. A traditional open-pit salmon-bake dinner is the highlight of the weekend, along with canoe races, drumming and dancing performances, and a marketplace offering traditional goods.

Ko-Kwel Salmon Celebration

COW CREEK BAND OF UMPQUA TRIBE OF INDIANS

Tumbling and splashing through spruce forest, the Umpqua River has long been central to the Cow Creek Umpqua people as a vital source of traditional foods like salmon and Pacific lamprey. Their ancestral lands have encompassed these lush river valleys, where tribal members continue to gather to socialize, swim, harvest huckleberries and celebrate with events like the Cow Creek Tribal Pow Wow in July.

Come winter, tribal families historically moved into plank houses like the replica on display at the South Umpqua Historical Society Pioneer-Indian Museum in Canyonville.

CONFEDERATED TRIBES OF GRAND RONDE

Comprising a multitude of Native tribes whose homelands stretched across what is now called Western Oregon, today this strong and successful tribal confederation is based among forested hills and verdant river valleys 60 miles/97 kilometers southwest of Portland. In August the tribe hosts its Annual Contest Powwow featuring dancers from across North America in full Native regalia. The nearby Chachalu Tribal Museum and Cultural Center shares the stories of the tribes’ past, present and future.

THE KLAMATH TRIBES

The largest freshwater lake in Oregon, Upper Klamath Lake is the heart of the Klamath Basin — and the soul of the Klamath Tribes. Their ancestral lands encompass a breathtakingly beautiful and diverse landscape of forest, grassland, mountains and waterways — including Giiwas, or Crater Lake — in what is today Southern Oregon. In late August, the three-day Restoration Celebration in Chiloquin includes a parade, food and craft vendors, and a large powwow with dancers from many tribal nations.

CONFEDERATED TRIBES OF SILETZ INDIANS

More than 30 Native American tribes trace their ancestry to the vast and varied lands between the Cascade Range and the Pacific Coast. They come together

today as the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, representing an array of cultural practices and ways of living rooted to their homelands. In addition to several community events, the tribe hosts two public powwows each year: The Nesika Illahee Pow-Wow in August is held outdoors in Siletz and the Restoration Pow-Wow in November brings the festivities indoors. Both feature dancing, singing, drumming, and food and vendor booths.

CONFEDERATED TRIBES OF THE UMATILLA INDIAN RESERVATION

Generous in spirit and nature, the Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla are now united as the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, east of Pendleton. The first weekend in July marks the Wildhorse Pow Wow, one of the largest powwows in the state, with drummers, singing groups, artisans and dancers. Don’t miss the award-winning Tamástslikt Cultural Institute, which shares tribal culture and chronicles the impact of western expansionism from a tribal point of view. Downtown, enjoy a steak or new hat at Hamley & Co., with its fully stocked Western store next to an acclaimed steakhouse and saloon.

CONFEDERATED TRIBES OF WARM SPRINGS

Among the ponderosa pines and rocky river canyons south of Mt. Hood in Warm Springs, the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs bring together three tribes — the Wasco, Warm Springs and Paiute — along the Deschutes River. At the Museum at Warm Springs, life-size traditional dwellings and an extensive collection of art bring to life the culture of the tribes. Tananáwit is a Native gallery and art shop with a mission to promote, preserve and advance traditional art forms. The recently revitalized, historic Kah-Nee-Ta Hot Springs Resort offers large outdoor natural hot springs right along the Warm Springs River. Nativeowned Spin the Handle and Littleleaf Guide Service both offer guided flyfishing trips on the Deschutes.

INDIGENOUS CULINARY EXPERIENCES

From huckleberries to salmon, the lands and waters of the territory now known as Oregon have been providing sustenance to tribal people since long before contact with Europeans. Salmon has long been a sacred source of life to many tribes and is still honored at ceremonial feasts.

Indigenous culinary traditions are front and center at Javelina in Portland, where dishes like bison chili and fry bread steal the show. Special prix-fixe dinners feature precolonial cuisine at the restaurant’s Inisha dinner space. At Newberg’s JORY Restaurant in the Allison Inn, try the Native foods tasting menu created by executive chef Jack Strong, a member of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians.

After fun on the Deschutes River, head to the Twisted Teepee food cart in Warm Springs for a bowl of luckame’n, a chowder made of salmon or meat, served with fry bread. In Cascade Locks, visit Native-owned Brigham Fish Market — owned by two sisters who fish the Columbia themselves and offer meals, smoked and fresh fish — or tribal vendors at the base of the Bridge of the Gods for Columbia River salmon. Keep an eye out for the Siletz Valley Schools’ YA-TR’EE-YAN Indigenous cuisine mobile kitchen at events across the state.

Javelina chef Alexa NumkenaAnderson

Come for the day, for the unique stores, for the cozy restaurants, for the vibrant festivals, for the stunning art, for the live theater.

There’s something unique about the Oregon Coast. It’s not just Highway 101 — that impossibly scenic route known officially as the Pacific Coast Scenic Byway, winding its way for 363 miles/584 kilometers from Astoria to Brookings. The truly singular characteristic of the coastline is that it’s free and open to the public, thanks to the historic Oregon Beach Bill. When then Gov. Tom McCall signed the bill into law in 1967, he declared, “Oregon’s coastline will remain secure for generations to come.” That means that the Coast’s beautiful state parks, elegant lighthouses, rolling sand dunes and dramatic viewpoints are here just for you, and yours, and everyone else. Indeed, that’s why they call it “The People’s Coast.”

Consider visiting Cannon Beach’s iconic Haystack Rock and the North Coast in winter, or try heading farther south to escape the summertime crowds. Help reduce impacts by volunteering for a beach clean-up day with SOLVE or for trail maintenance with Trailkeepers of Oregon.

Highway 101

Central Coast Getaway

The Central Coast is the heart of the best things Oregon’s coastal communities have to offer. Fly a kite or search for hidden glass floats on 7 miles/11 kilometers of beaches in Lincoln City, any time of year. Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge, a great place for kayaking, harbors majestic egrets, great blue herons and more feathered friends. Visit the smallest harbor in the world, in Depoe Bay, to spy migrating gray whales. At Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area, tour the 1873 lighthouse and explore the tide pools on the beach below. In Newport, see underwater wonders at the Hatfield Marine Science Center or play a round at Wilder Disc Golf Course. Meander along the 804 or Ya’Xaik trails in Yachats and take photos of the stunning Heceta Head Lighthouse in Florence on your drive south.

South Coast Secrets

The rugged South Coast provides access to lesser-known parts of the Coast and is a great place for fat-tire biking on the beach. At the Oregon Dunes Visitor Center in Reedsport, visitors can get acquainted with the wind-sculpted sandy expanse. Lighthouse lovers delight in the five charming beacons located along this stretch of Highway 101 — Umpqua River, Cape Arago, Coquille River, Cape Blanco and Pelican Bay lighthouses Bastendorff Beach near Charleston offers miles of dogfriendly sand and stunning sunsets. Artists have transformed recycled beach trash into magnificent sculptures at Washed Ashore in Bandon. In Gold Beach, the majestic Rogue River meets the ocean, and quiet beaches welcome beachcombing, crabbing and bird-watching. Take a river jet-boat tour or book a fishing charter in Brookings to cast for king salmon, lingcod and rockfish. Hike the Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor to view wind-sculpted arches and sea stacks. (Be safe, stay on designated trails and obey all signs.)

Natural Bridges Viewpoint

Arts and Culture

The dramatic and rugged beauty of Oregon’s coastline has attracted filmmakers for decades. The Oregon Film Trail includes stops in Astoria, Cannon Beach and more. Much of this natural beauty is also reflected in the rich collection of diverse artwork by local artists — murals, sculptures and public art installations displayed in coastal communities. The Oregon Coast Public Art Trail is a self-guided trail identifying more than 800 artworks that are outdoors and always on public display. A statue at the Alsea Bay Bridge Interpretive Center honors Louis Southworth, a Black homesteader. Make sure to see “Poppy,” a 24-foot/7.3-meter stainless-steel interactive installation in Lincoln City; the elegant depiction of Sacagawea at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park near Warrenton; and the whimsical dancing sea-lion sculptures around Florence. Plays, concerts and performing arts abound on the creative Coast. Check out the Liberty Theatre in Astoria and North Bend, the Coaster Theater in Cannon Beach, the Oregon Coast Council for the Performing Arts in Newport and the Egyptian Theatre in Coos Bay, among many more. Don’t miss the creative work of Bandon-based Art Park 101, which creates fabulous sculptures out of trash.

Liberty Theatre

Food Trails

The farmers, fishers and foragers of the Coast are leading a new culinary revolution on Oregon’s western rim. Several food trails offer a taste of this rising scene. The North Coast Food Trail leads epicureans to distilleries, breweries and sea-to-table dining establishments from Astoria to Neskowin. The Central Coast Food Trail guides visitors to tasty artisan treats, farm-fresh produce and decadently prepared seafood from Lincoln City to Florence. The Wild Rivers Coast Food Trail winds from Reedsport to Bandon, Port Orford and Brookings. Delicious stops include farms for strawberries, blueberries and cranberries in season, as well as fresh catch from fish markets and craft breweries. All along the Coast, look for seafood markets and Oregoncaught fish on restaurant menus. Be sure to ask questions about local, sustainable choices for your dinner table.

Enjoy the oceanfront Surfside Bistro on-site with an Oregon-inspired menu. Doggie friendly rooms too!

Seaside Brewing Co.

Newport Chowder Bowl

With seven miles of sandy beach and unlimited fun, Rockaway Beach on the north Oregon Coast is a favorite getaway for families and nomads of every kind.

Winter Wonders

While most people think of the Oregon Coast as a summer destination, a winter trip delivers unexpected treasures. Temperatures are often warmer than inland climes. Some come for the storm watching from the many safe, dedicated viewpoints found along the Coast, and they stay for beachcombing and fort building in the sunbreaks that follow. Winter festivals provide a host of seasonal celebrations, including the Yachats Agate Festival, Newport Seafood & Wine Festival, and culinary events by Winter Waters. Check the event websites for up-to-date schedules and information. Winter provides rich opportunities for wildlife watching, including 24 designated whale-watching viewpoints to look for migrating gray whales. The Oregon Coast Birding Trail has 173 specific spots to view migratory and overwintering birds. Winter is a great season to try your hand at clamming, crabbing and fishing from the dock at towns up and down the Coast.

TRIP IDEAS

Trendsetters, trailblazers and innovators in the Portland area are always starting something new in the worlds of fine cuisine, arts and culture. But within all that urban spirit, the metro area maintains a friendly welcome. Get to know the Portland Region.

Destination Dining — and More — in Downtown Downtown Portland is a vibrant hub of shopping, dining, parks and performance halls all crammed into one energetic neighborhood. You’ll find creative eats at numerous food-cart pods — including one in the friendly Pioneer Courthouse Square near the elegant 19th-century courthouse. Nearby, a handful of vendors at The Flock food hall dish cuisines from around the world. A stroll along the Park Blocks leads past the venerable Portland Art Museum , where the on-site cafe Coquelico offers a European-influenced bistro menu with items inspired by the museum’s exhibits. Farther east, Tom McCall Waterfront Park provides a path for walkers, riders and runners along the lazy Willamette River. Powell’s City of Books, the world’s largest independent bookstore, houses a full city block of titles for browsing and frequent readings. In the midst of it all, a number of eateries pride themselves on fresh, filling fare — from stalwarts such as Higgins to newcomers like Madrina Cocina Mexicana

Sip Trips

A tasting trip to sample some of Oregon’s 22 distinct grape-growing regions doesn’t always have to involve a long, winding drive into the country. Many winery tasting rooms are smack in the middle of the Rose City and surrounding communities. PDX Urban Wineries is an association of 16 independent wineries, including Boedecker Cellars, Division Winemaking Company and Gonzales Wine Company. Tucked in Portland’s West Hills is Amaterra Winery, while in Southeast Portland is the city’s oldest winery, Hip Chicks Do Wine. A bit south of town in West Linn, you’ll find a picturesque tasting room at Campbell Lane Winery and scenic sipping at Pete’s Mountain Winery, which offers sweeping views of Mt. Hood. To the southwest, the Tualatin Valley offers scores of options like Alloro Vineyard in Sherwood and Sidereus Vineyard & Winery in Cornelius.

Powell’s City of Books

Pete’s Mountain Winery

Historically Black Districts of Portland North and Northeast Portland are diverse and thriving communities with lively energy and entrepreneurial spirit. Vibrant shopping districts, these locales have also distinguished themselves as culinary hubs with dozens of hot spots clustered on Mississippi Avenue alone, including a world of international cuisine, boutiques, and casual pubs and cafes. Alberta Street has earned the moniker of Alberta Arts District with a monthly street fair and gallery walk, plus a host of stores to delight art-minded visitors like Guardino Gallery, Monograph Bookwerks and Bolt Neighborhood Fabric Boutique Mississippi Studios and the Alberta Rose Theatre bring live music and shows to these districts. The area is home to a growing number of Black-owned businesses including Mister OK’s Essentials, a home and body-care brand; and ECOVIBE, a home-goods store. Learn more about these neighborhoods’ cultural heritage and identities with self-guided walking tours by the Alberta Street Black Heritage Markers Project and the Historic Black Williams Project.

Urban Nature Retreats

In Portland you don’t have to go far to feel like you are out of the city and into the wild. Forest Park — one of the largest urban parks in the nation — offers 5,200 acres/2,104 hectares of grand old trees, meadows and wildflowers. Nearby Washington Park features manicured gardens great for walking.

The International Rose Test Garden has more than 10,000 rosebushes. The Columbia Botanical Gardens in St. Helens teems with songbirds and wildflowers. Don’t miss the Lower Columbia River Water Trail along Scappoose Bay. In Oregon City, the thundering waters of Willamette Falls create the nation’s second-largest waterfall by volume. Lake Oswego’s George Rogers Park stretches across 26 acres/11 hectares with river access, picnic areas, walking trails and the historic “Iron Furnace,” a testament to the region’s industrial past. Sherwood’s Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge is a dynamic watershed known for ample birdlife, while Hopkins Demonstration Forest in Oregon City features 140 wooded acres/57 hectares with 5 miles/8 kilometers of trails through a variety of habitats.

Pioneering Outposts

More than half a million Americans traveled the Oregon Trail in search of better lives in the mid-1800s. Many of them found what they were looking for in the hamlets south and east of Portland. In Oregon City, the End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center shares the experiences of Oregon’s Indigenous tribes, Black pioneers, and other pioneer women and men with dynamic exhibits in their own words. Did you know Gresham was once the raspberry capital of the world? The town’s agricultural history is preserved at the Gresham History Museum housed in a 1913 Carnegie Library, one of the town’s many historic buildings. Enjoy panoramic views from Hogan Butte Nature Park, or walk the streets of Gresham to admire the murals and life-size bronze statues that honor the pioneering experience.

Conveniently located on Portland’s SE waterfront. Learn more at omsi.edu.

The beauty of the Mt. Hood and Columbia River Gorge region has been shaped by the geological dramas of the past. Ice-age floods carved out the soaring basalt cliff line of the Gorge, and volcanic eruptions scoured the river valley at the foot of Mt. Hood. The majestic, snowy peak — Oregon’s tallest — rises above its surrounding communities to 11,239 feet/3,425 meters. Present-day visitors will find a land of breathtaking beauty in the region’s scenic rivers, shaggy forests and picturesque family orchards along with fresh, seasonal cuisine and craft beer in its friendly small towns. Whether you’re looking for epic outdoor recreation or epicurean wonders, history and heritage or artists’ enclaves, you’ll find it here. This region is a popular one. Our advice is to discover the region’s small communities and lesserknown delights and visit during fall, winter and spring. Whatever you do, you’re sure to be shaped forever by your visit here.

A FEW NOT-TO-MISS ATTRACTIONS

Brigham Fish Market

Owned by members of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, who’ve fished for many generations on the Columbia River, this cheerful market sells fresh fish as well as a tasty lunch menu.

Gorge Food Trails

Take a culinary tour to discover the best bounty of the region along two food routes, the East Gorge and the West Gorge food trails.

Old photographs and videos tell the “King of Roads” story from its opening in 1916 to its decline in the 1950s and eventual restoration in the late 20th century. Learn the story and plan your own journey.

Troutdale, TroutdaleHistory.org/ barn-exhibit-hall

Mosier Twin Tunnels

This 4.5-mile/7.2-kilometer segment of the Historic Columbia River State Trail, closed to car traffic, is the perfect spot to stroll or cycle with a local bike or e-bike rental. The trail passes through two tunnels — one new and one built in 1916 — and offers Columbia River views. Hood River, StateParks.Oregon.gov

Mt. Hood Cultural Center & Museum

History buffs will appreciate the historic photos, books and objects chronicling the storied history of Mt. Hood — including a

collection that shows the history of skiing through early snowmobiles, a ski-lift chair from 1939 and other pieces of equipment. Government Camp, MtHoodMuseum.org

North American Bigfoot Center

There’s something for every lover of Sasquatch at this center. Colorful displays present a wealth of information about Bigfoot sightings, as well as footprints and other memorabilia. You don’t have to be a believer to enjoy taking a family photo with Murphy, the Bigfoot replica.

TRIP IDEAS

With cascading waterfalls, scores of scenic mountain trails and world-class water play, the Mt. Hood and Columbia River Gorge region is an immersion in the senses. Sip your way along the Breweries in the Gorge ale trail; visit the farms and orchards; and take in the region’s rich history from the last ice age to early Native American civilization to Lewis and Clark and the present day.

Infinity Loop

Set out on a self-guided tour of one of the most scenic areas to drive in the state along the Infinity Loop trail — a road-trip blueprint for the Mt. Hood and Columbia River Gorge region. Shaped as a figure-eight route and best completed over several days, this itinerary wanders through the river villages, mountain hamlets and farm towns of the region. Start in Troutdale and head to Cascade Locks along the Historic Columbia River Highway. You’ll find craft brews, fresh-caught fish, foot-tall soft-serve cones and the iconic Bridge of the Gods. From here the trail passes through Hood River. Best known as a windsurfing capital of the world, the city also has plenty to offer art lovers. A walkable and bikeable section of the Historic Columbia River Highway leads to the town of Mosier, where the East Gorge Food Trail beckons. That culinary route continues into The Dalles, where you can stop in for a spell at Sunshine Mill Winery or River Tap Pub. Bookworms adore Klindt’s Booksellers, the oldest bookstore in Oregon, and the historic Balch Hotel in the farm town of Dufur offers a charming getaway. Then you’re on to Government Camp on the south flank of Mt. Hood, a playground for hikers, cyclists and snow lovers. Rounding the west side of the mountain into Estacada, visitors can take a guided whitewater-rafting trip on the Wild and Scenic Upper Clackamas River and follow it up with a burger and homemade milkshake at Granny’s Drive-Thru or Lew’s Drive-In

Artists’ Way

The dramatic landscapes of the Columbia River Gorge and Mt. Hood National Forest have inspired an outpouring of expression from artists. In Troutdale, see the bronze work of sculptor Rip Caswell displayed at the Troutdale Art Center and around the city’s downtown. Estacada is home to Artback Artists — check out the Walking Tour of the Estacada Artback Murals and The Spiral Gallery co-op, which showcases artists’ work from around the region. Step into history at Cascade Locks Marine Park, where local bronze artist Heather Greene — one of the first women in the U.S. to own a foundry — brings legends like Sacagawea and Seaman the Newfoundland to life. The Hood River BIG ART Walking Tour is a self-guided exploration of 18 outdoor installations around town, while the gallery Art on Oak displays work made from metal, glass, ceramics, fibers and more. In The Dalles, The Dalles Art Center offers classes and regular exhibits in all mediums; for art on the go, The Workshop has prepared kits at a DIY bar. Nearby, the National Neon Sign Museum preserves this signature expression of a bygone era.

Four Seasons on Mt. Hood

Oregon’s tallest peak is beloved for its winter wonders, but the Mt. Hood region offers a bonanza of outdoor fun year-round. Anglers look forward to the spring chinook salmon run on the nearby Columbia River, and visitors enjoy viewing the baby salmon (fry and fingerlings) at the Wildwood Recreation Site’s Cascade Streamwatch, accessible via a short paved trail. Summer is an exciting time at Mt. Hood Adventure Park at Skibowl with bungee jumping, the region’s only alpine slide and other high-adrenaline activities for kids. Spend the night in a yome (yurt/dome) at Promontory Park. Fall is the time to hike through colorful foliage and safely forage for huckleberries and wild mushrooms. Winter is for powderhounds at the four ski resorts — Timberline, Mt. Hood Meadows, Mt. Hood Skibowl and Cooper Spur Mountain Resort — as well as snowshoeing, sledding and tubing at one of many Mt. Hood Sno-Parks.

Farms and Fields

Long after the ice-age floods scoured this area, farms sprang up in the rich sediment left behind. Visitors can experience the resulting agricultural tradition at area farms, fruit stands and food trails. The Hood River Fruit Loop circles the valley with 28 stops at orchards, lavender farms, wineries, U-pick blueberry patches and more. Stop at wheelchair-accessible Kiyokawa Family Orchards and sample 120 different varieties of apples. The Gorge Food Trails (East and West) take gastronomes on a tour of the best cideries, cherry orchards, wineries and farms in the region. Among them, stop at Analemma Wines, Garnier Vineyards or Idiot’s Grace for wines made from grapes grown in the area’s sunny vineyards. In Corbett fill your berry bucket at Columbia View Blueberries, and indulge in farm-to-table dinners and events at Turtle Moon Farm in Troutdale.

Cultivating Culture

With Lewis and Clark, the Oregon Trail and the Historic Columbia River Highway, this region has long been a magnet for history’s momentous characters. Start at the Cascade Locks Historical Museum and visitor center — home of the Northwest’s first steam engine. Fort Dalles Museum, an 1856 military surgeon’s quarters, tells emigrant stories at one of Oregon’s oldest museums. The nearby Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum chronicles the Lewis and Clark expedition, as well as the history of the Native Americans who inhabited the region for thousands of years before white settlers came west. Travel through time along the 75-mile/121-kilometer Historic Columbia River Highway between The Dalles and Troutdale, the nation’s first planned scenic roadway and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Experience emigrant life through hands-on activities and audio tours at Philip Foster Farm — home to a farmstead, schoolhouse and more. Bigfoot fans can geek out at the North American Bigfoot Center in Boring, with artifacts and interactive exhibits.

Sensational Sipping

There must be something in the water. Breweries, wineries and cideries keep multiplying with delicious results. Join the libation celebration with a tasting trip through the region. Don’t miss standouts like Estacada’s Stone Circle Cider and Bent Shovel Brewing Beer Garden; Gorges Beer Co. and Thunder Island Brewing Company in Cascade Locks; Parkdale’s Solera Brewery; Troutdale’s Wayfinder Brewing; and Freebridge Brewing in The Dalles. Longtime orchard towns Hood River and Mosier have squeezed a new tradition out of local heirloom apples and pears. Taste the results at Fox-Tail Cider and Distillery and others. The area also nurtures a blossoming wine industry with Tierra De Lobos in The Dalles, Grateful Vineyard’s Mt. Hood views in Parkdale, and dozens of other wineries in Hood River and Mosier. Hood River’s Hood River Distillers offers explorations in whiskey, vodka and brandy.

Trail Time

The trails of Mt. Hood and the Columbia River Gorge draw outdoor enthusiasts from all over the world for epic mountain biking, hiking and road cycling. Experienced mountain bikers fly through the curves of the award-winning 15.7-mile/25.3-kilometer Sandy Ridge Trail System, while beginner dirt surfers zip through 3.5 miles/5.6 kilometers of rolling single-track on the EasyCLIMB Trail. Bikepackers get stoked about rugged sections of the epic Oregon Timber Trail here. Traveling by foot, check out the Mt. Hood Meadows Trail system, where you’ll find 8 miles/12 kilometers of interconnected trail. Milo McIver State Park, which hugs the Clackamas River, is home to 14 miles/22 kilometers of hiking trails. Local trails are especially beautiful in the fall, and they’re more accessible with shuttle services like Mt. Hood Express, the Waterfall Trolley, Sasquatch Shuttle and Columbia Gorge Express. To beat the crowds, hit the trail early or on weekdays, especially in summer, and head eastward for lesscrowded paths. Always remember to follow Leave No Trace guidelines and heed posted signage.

Terwilliger Hot Springs

Tucked between the steep Cascade mountains and the rolling Coast Range, the Willamette Valley stretches 112 miles/180 kilometers south of Portland. For generations the Kalapuya and other Indigenous peoples fished the Willamette River and foraged for berries along its banks, leaving traditions carried on today by the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. Settlers started arriving on the Oregon Trail in the mid-19th century. Innovators soon began building covered bridges that continue to connect communities. They’ve put down roots in what’s become Oregon’s famous wine country and launched a farm-to-table dining revolution from its fertile soils. Come for a visit and share the culture, heritage and rich bounty of the region.

TRIP IDEAS

Pinot noir grapes put the Willamette Valley on the map in the 1970s. The resulting wine culture has kept it there, but there’s more to the valley than vineyards. The natural beauty of its mountains and rivers, along with a vibrant arts and culinary scene, offers visitors much more to explore.

Covered Bridge

Beautiful Byways

Back roads and byways of the Willamette Valley delight sightseers, shutterbugs and history buffs alike. Take a drive through history along the Linn County Covered Bridge Tour near the town of Scio, where a cluster of five historic bridges are set against picturesque backdrops, especially colorful during fall foliage. Dramatic McKenzie Pass-Santiam Pass Scenic Byway climbs through lava fields, alpine lakes and fir forests. The McKenzie River Scenic Byway follows the banks of that river east of Eugene, while the Marys Peak to Pacific Scenic Byway winds from Corvallis to the Coast boasting a display of ecological diversity and wonder. The Aufderheide Scenic Byway hugs the crystalline waters of the Willamette and McKenzie rivers. Stop along the Silver Falls Tour Route for waterfall hikes and mountain views. The breathtaking Over the River and Through the Woods Scenic Byway charts you through the valley and into the forests and rivers of the Cascade mountains, including stops for fishing, swimming, hiking and seeing plenty of wildlife along the way.

Oakridge harbors hundreds of miles of mountain biking trails for intermediate to advanced levels. Experienced riders bomb down the epic 25.4-mile/40.9-kilometer McKenzie River Trail. Road cyclists enjoy the mild 36-mile/58-kilometer Covered Bridges Scenic Bikeway, which winds past six of the region’s historic covered bridges and includes the car-free Row River Trail. Riders can take on all or part of the moderate 134-mile/216-kilometer Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway, and the difficult 38-mile/61-kilometer McKenzie Pass Scenic Bikeway challenges the most experienced. Hardy gravel riders grind out the challenging Wings, Wine and Wonder route, winding 54 miles/87 kilometers through farms and vineyards northwest of Salem. In 2024, the 60-mile/97-kilometer

Aufderheide Scenic Bikeway became the state’s newest scenic bikeway, taking cyclists past rivers and waterfalls while offering epic mountain views outside of Eugene.

As you head southwest of Corvallis, Marys Peak and Alsea Falls Recreation Site are favorite mountain bike spots for cyclists in the know.

Southern Oregon is a land of high drama. From the stages of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival to the scene of ancient lava flows and a starring role in the craft-beverage scene, you never know what you’ll find in the next act. Find your own inspiration along this spectacular Oregon road trip.

Gateways to Crater Lake

Standing on the rim of this ancient caldera and gazing into the bright-blue waters of massive Crater Lake is the experience of a lifetime. But it’s an incredible drive from the gateway communities of Roseburg, Medford and Klamath Falls, too.

On the Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway from Roseburg and Medford, you’ll drive alongside rushing rivers and visit small mountain towns. Known as the Highway of Waterfalls, Highway 138 between Roseburg and the seasonal north entrance to Crater Lake passes by nearly a dozen cascades along the North Umpqua River. Stop to photograph Toketee Falls tumbling in tiers down a basalt cliff and marvel at Watson Falls, one of the highest waterfalls in the state.

From Medford, the Crater Lake Highway or Highway 62 travels along the Upper Rogue River to the park’s west entrance. Stretch your legs at Prospect State Scenic Viewpoint, where you can visit two waterfalls and the Avenue of Giant Boulders.

From Klamath Falls, you’ll enjoy views along Highway 97 as you wind around Upper Klamath Lake to the park’s south entrance. Don’t miss a stop at the Fort Klamath Museum and Park near Jackson F. Kimball State Recreation Site, which features a Modoc warrior graveyard and an 1800s jailhouse.

Ashland is home to award-winning Caldera Brewing Company, and Medford alone — the largest city in Southern Oregon — offers four more craft breweries to explore. For wine lovers, Medford is also the gateway to Rogue Valley Wine Country, where Oregon’s first official winery operated from 1873 to 1907. The Southern Oregon AVA includes five distinct sub-AVAs —  Elkton, Red Hill Douglas County, Umpqua Valley, Rogue Valley and Applegate Valley — with a diverse range of wines. Today you’ll find tasting rooms serving bold reds and crisp whites along four wine routes. The Bear Creek Wine Trail leads visitors to 12 distinct tasting rooms in Ashland, Jacksonville and Medford.

The sunny, high-desert landscape of Central Oregon brings happiness in myriad ways. There’s the sandy, rolling single-track beloved by mountain bikers and the bluebird skiing that draws powderhounds to the slopes of Mt. Bachelor. Old West enthusiasts come for small-

A FEW NOT-TO-MISS ATTRACTIONS

Camp Sherman

West of Sisters and at the foot of the Cascade Range, this cozy community is a hub of outdoor recreation. Enjoy a short hike to the head of the burbling Metolius River, pick up a snack and see if the fish are biting at the Camp Sherman Store, and take the family to the Wizard Falls Hatchery.

Camp Sherman, VisitCentralOregon.com

Central Oregon Golf Trail

With nearly 30 golf courses, including three on Golf Digest’s list of America’s 100 Greatest, Central Oregon is a golf destination that makes easy work of your bucket list.

Throughout Central Oregon, HDFFA.org/HDFT

High Desert Museum

Just south of Bend, this nationally acclaimed natural-history museum holds a collection of nearly 29,000 artifacts and more than 100 animals. Its dynamic mix of indoor and outdoor exhibits brings the high-desert environments to life with upclose wildlife encounters, living-history demonstrations and hands-on displays. Bend, HighDesertMuseum.org

Museum at Warm Springs

Located on their tribal lands near the newly renovated Kah-Nee-Ta Resort and Spa, this museum shares the histories and traditions of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. With permanent and special exhibits, the museum also serves as a way to preserve a cultural record. Warm Springs, Museum.WarmSprings-NSN.gov

In 2021, Prineville Reservoir was named the state’s first International Dark Sky Park by nonprofit DarkSky International. Prineville, VisitCentralOregon.com

Shaniko

Surrounded by sagebrush plains, Shaniko sits along the Journey Through Time Scenic Byway and is one of Oregon’s most popular ghost towns.

Sunriver Resort

TRIP IDEAS

Central Oregon is a land of old volcanoes and ancient lava, of high-desert sagebrush and wide-open spaces. This sunny country is chock-full of Wild West history and new-West traditions. From craft-beer brewing to biking and big mountain terrain, Central Oregon offers a full-on experience.

Biking, Brews and Burgs North from Bend, the high-desert hamlets of Redmond, Terrebonne and Prineville offer their own take on two Central Oregon traditions: mountain biking and craft beer. Along with Sisters and Sunriver, these communities are part of the Bend Ale Trail, with less-crowded tasting rooms and plenty of fresh-air seating. Redmond keeps pace with the Oregon brew scene with the likes of Wild Ride Brew Co., Initiative Brewing, Cascade Lakes Pub at 7th Street , Sunriver Brewing Co. and Kobold Brewing/The Vault Taphouse Just outside of town, mountain biking trails in Redmond’s Maston network offer 18 miles/29 kilometers of green-rated trail. Terrebonne, known as the gateway to rock-climbing paradise Smith Rock, also gives access to the park’s 10 miles/16 kilometers of mostly blue-rated mountain biking trails. Nearby Pump House Bar and Grill serves up wings and salads, a great way to cap off a day of adventuring. At the foothills of the Ochoco Mountains, Prineville is a treasure trove of great riding. Near downtown, ride roughly 15 miles/24 kilometers of flowy trails across Barnes Butte. Check out the spectacular Crooked River Canyon Scenic Bikeway, which snakes for 18 paved miles/29 kilometers past towering cliffs and hopeful anglers casting delicate flies to gorgeous trout. Sip a post-ride pint at Good Bike Co. Don’t miss the High Desert Food Trail, highlighting Central Oregon’s culinary culture with 48 stops at farms, craft-beverage producers and more.

Western Charm in Sisters

When they saw the lush grasslands around Sisters, westward settlers hollered “Whoa!” and put down stakes. Today the small town perched in the Cascades retains its Western heritage with many working ranches. Visitors can find regional flavor at downtown shops styled to look like Western storefronts, as well as local watering holes like the Ski Inn Taphouse and Hotel

At the 86th annual Sisters Rodeo, spectators are treated to a skillful display of roping, riding, broncing and barrel racing from the best cowboys and cowgirls in the West. Every July, the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show takes over buildings all over town — and is the largest festival of its kind in the world. One of the newest restaurants in Sisters, Famille dishes a thoughtful menu of pan-seared halibut, fresh salads and other regionally inspired dishes. After a day of exploring, head to the lodge at Black Butte Ranch for Northwest salmon and steak.

Crooked River Canyon Scenic Bikeway

In the Land of Lava

The scarred landscape here tells a tale of volcanic eruptions, basalt flows, obsidian deposits and sunken calderas, and it’s a story that never gets old. A study of the region’s volcanic past starts at Lava Lands Visitor Center, the information hub of the 54,000-acre/21,853-hectare Newberry National Volcanic Monument. Exhibits recount geological history, and an interpretive trail illuminates the molten landscape. Shuttle or hike up to the Lava Butte Lookout for epic views from the ancient cinder cone. There’s more to experience with camping at picturesque Paulina Lake and fishing at its sister East Lake. Geological lessons continue at the High Desert Museum, where compelling exhibits chronicle the lives of birds and wild creatures living in the lava landscape. Tucked in along the Deschutes River and in the Deschutes National Forest, Sunriver Resort offers myriad ways to play in the ancient lands, from lolling by sunny pools to biking paved paths amid the lava flows and taking snowy horse-drawn sleigh rides.

Summer on Mt. Bachelor

The 9,065-foot/2,763-meter peak of Mt. Bachelor has earned itself a reputation as a winter wonderland, but it’s a paradise of play in summertime, too. When the snow melts, Mt. Bachelor Bike Park attracts riders with 13 miles/21 kilometers of lift-serviced downhill trails. The resort offers Gravity Camp for kids and teens, as well as a skills park for beginning bikers. Hikers ride the lift on summer days to take a trail to the summit or enjoy the new Evergreen multiuse trail, which also allows cyclists heading downhill. The 18hole Professional Disc Golf Association course offers disc golfers a high-altitude challenge as they putt their way down the mountain. A three-stage zip line drops along the volcano’s slopes for a speedy adventure — with dual lines allowing for some friendly competition to the bottom. The resort’s Sunset Dinners at Pine Marten Lodge pair Pacific Northwest fare with sweeping mountain views.

Cascade Lakes and Deschutes National Forest

It’s easy to see why outdoor recreationists flock to the high-alpine Cascade Lakes and the lush Deschutes National Forest. Comprising 1.6 million acres/647,497 hectares, the Deschutes National Forest holds some of the region’s most scenic hiking trails, like the strenuous 23-mile/37-kilometer Broken Top Trail, a favorite for backpackers that encircles the distinctive 9,175-foot/2,797-meter peak. The family-friendly Todd Lake Loop Trail passes picturesque meadows and showcases views of Mt. Bachelor in an easy, 1.5-mile/2.4-kilometer route. A 7.7-mile/12.4-kilometer lollipop to Swampy Lakes offers a moderate day hike through wildflower fields and past waterfalls. Flyfishers cast for trout and bass at Davis Lake and Hosmer Lake, and paddlers rent canoes at peaceful Elk Lake or Cultus Lake. Drive the entire 66-mile/106-kilometer Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway for breathtaking views of soaring Cascade peaks, placid lake waters and wildflower-strewn glades. Visit in late spring and early autumn for solitude and bluebird skies. Wherever you wander, don’t forget to plan ahead and see where wilderness permits are required. You will need a Central Cascade Wilderness permit ahead of time to hike some of these trails June 15-Oct. 15, so be sure to check online.

Outdoor Adventures in Maupin

Sitting along the Deschutes River, the cozy community of Maupin — home to just 500 year-round residents — is a hub of outdoor fun at the northern edge of Central Oregon. Perhaps Maupin’s biggest claim to fame is whitewater rafting on the Lower Deschutes River, where class I-IV rapids challenge and thrill paddlers of all skill levels. Sign up for a guided tour with a local outfitter, and don’t forget your towel. Anglers, meanwhile, enjoy fishing for rainbow trout, known locally as redsides, in spring. At nearby White River Falls State Park, feel the mist of a waterfall that plunges 90 feet/27 meters over a basalt cliff. Celebrate the day’s adventure over hearty pub fare at The Riverside or craft beer at Rainbow Tavern, and kick back at the vintage Oasis Cabin Resort or wellappointed Imperial River Co. Lodge

Winter Adventures

High Cascade peaks draw the frosty marine air off the Pacific Ocean for a marriage that results in champagne powder, and that’s the perfect foundation for winter fun. Ski or board the steeps, deeps and trees of Mt. Bachelor ski area , where 3,365 feet/1,026 meters of vertical drop on 4,323 acres/1,749 hectares of skiable terrain make it the seventh-largest ski resort in North America. The mountain also offers one of the longest groomed Nordic-skiing seasons in the U.S. with trails open from mid-November into May. The nearby Meissner Nordic trail system offers 29 miles/47 kilometers of groomed trail for classic and skate skiing. Hoodoo Ski Area offers 34 runs and five lifts, a tubing run, and Nordic trails. Sno-Parks around the region provide backcountry access, snowshoeing and designated dog-friendly snow trails. Snow-biking fanatics may check out local shops for lessons and rentals for fat-tire biking bliss.

TRIP IDEAS

Out here the mountains climb high and the rivers run free. The wide-open spaces brim with hidden canyons, soaring buttes and wildflower-laden meadows. The rural communities preserve their old ways of farming and rodeoing while inspiring new traditions in art and culture. You never know what you’ll find in Eastern Oregon.

Adventures on the Columbia River Plateau

Molten lava boiled through Northeastern Oregon to form the rugged landscape of the Columbia Plateau eons ago. It’s no surprise the extreme terrain inspires radical outdoor play. In Arlington windsurfers and kiteboarders surf the swell powered by big winds funneling through the Gorge, while paddleboarders and boaters launch from the marina at Earl Snell Memorial Park. The Columbia River Heritage Trail starts in Boardman, where you’ll find a climbing wall and an indoor pool. Near Umatilla catch bird migrations at the McNary Wildlife Nature Area or cool off at the McNary Beach Recreation Area. Heppner marks the starting point of the Blue Mountain Century Scenic Bikeway, a 108-mile/174-kilometer epic that rewards experienced cyclists with awe-inspiring views of the Blue Mountains.

Don’t miss the annual Pendleton Round-Up — a weeklong hoedown of roping, riding and wrangling as well as Native celebrations. The Tamástslikt Cultural Institute chronicles thousands of years of history of the Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla tribes.

Blue Mountain Century Scenic Bikeway

Wallowa County: Worth the Journey

The soaring peaks are unlike any others in Oregon and draw visitors to hike, camp and paddle the placid waters of Wallowa Lake. But the region offers much more to explore. The Wallowa Lake Tramway gives visitors a bird’s-eye view of the Eagle Cap Wilderness area with mountain summits and the sweeping valley below. For a unique cycling experience, join the Joseph Branch Railriders for a spin on special four-wheel bikes that roll on railroad tracks. If stunning drives are more your thing, the Hells Canyon Scenic Byway offers 212 miles/325 kilometers of historic, cultural and natural wonders, including Hells Canyon, the deepest river gorge in North America. Visitors can experience the art inspired by the rural spirit here along the Northeast Oregon Arts Trail, which includes dozens of galleries, art centers and theaters, such as the Josephy Center for Arts and Culture. The hamlet of Minam is your jumpingoff point for rafting and fishing adventures. Visit the Wallowa History Center in Wallowa or catch a Grammy Award–winning musician at the OK Theatre.

Blue Mountains, Baker City and Beyond

Packed with more than 80 miles/129 kilometers of trails and stunning views of the Grande Ronde Valley, the largest enclosed circular valley in the U.S., Mount Emily Recreation Area has earned its title as an outdoor destination. For lunch refuel at Side A Brewing, located inside a historic firehouse in La Grande. The Grande Ronde Farm Trail takes visitors along 55 miles/89 kilometers of farms, markets, museums and dairies.

For train rides, try the Eagle Cap Excursion Train. Nearby Sumpter offers train rides aboard the Sumpter Valley Railroad. Prairie City, on the mountains’ west side, acts as a gateway for fishing in the Middle Fork of the John Day River and wintertime Nordic skiing and snowmobiling. Stay at the historic Hotel Prairie, don’t miss the Prairie City Fiber Fest, and belly up to the bar at the Oxbow Dinner House & Pizza Company.

Oxbow Dinner House

Wallowa Lake

Painted Hills and the John Day River

The dramatic sunset hues of the Painted Hills, a unit of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, are a showstopper where you can experience local geology and history. The Thomas Condon Paleontology Center has one of the largest fossil records in the world, dating back 55 million years. The green claystone hues of the adjacent Sheep Rock Unit aren’t too shabby either. Hiking trails in the Clarno Unit provide close-ups of plant fossils, petrified logs and soaring palisades. In Fossil the Oregon Paleo Lands Institute offers seasonal day hikes and exhibits illustrating geological history, as well as an open fossil dig at the Wheeler High School Fossil Beds. To the west, the captivating John Day River — the third-longest free-flowing river in the contiguous United States — flows for 284 miles/457 kilometers out of the Strawberry Mountains, through John Day, and winds its way north to the Columbia River. The John Day River Farm Trail is a gateway to the farms, farm stands and ranches of the region. Near the farming community of Condon, gravel riders grind up Devils Butte. To the northwest, Cottonwood Canyon State Park is set against the grandeur of the John Day River.

Painted Hills

HIKING

Play Outside in the High Desert

Burns, home to the Burns Paiute Tribe, serves as a gateway to Oregon’s gorgeous southeastern side. Stay in the historic Central Hotel, then head south to Steens Mountain — the largest fault block in North America — which rises almost 10,000 feet/ 3,048 meters above the sagebrush landscape. Hike the 13.2-mile/21.2-kilometer Big Indian Gorge for otherworldly views of the buttes, canyons and wildflower meadows.

A drive along the Steens Loop Tour Route offers epic views of the desert floor on the highest road in Oregon. From the Kiger Gorge Overlook, peer down into the half-mile/0.8-kilometer-deep chasm and try to glimpse the wild mustangs that run free here. At nearby Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, listen for the distinctive call of the greater sandhill crane, which nests here, and look for the elaborate courtship dance among the sage grouse. You’ll need more than one lifetime to explore the 750-mile/1,207kilometer Oregon Desert Trail, or just five days to gravel-ride through the dramatic views of the Steens Mountain Tour or the shorter Bird Nerd route.

Oregon’s Easternmost Outpost

So far east it’s in another time zone, Ontario is a gateway to a world of wonders and festivals like America’s Global Village. Fuel up at a downtown cafe on small-batch-roasted java, savory sandwiches and fresh-baked treats, then set out on the Four Rivers Farm & Garden Trail. From here drive south to find Lake Owyhee State Park. The picturesque lake, nestled into a basalt canyon, is a tranquil spot for camping and fishing. At the southeastern end of the lake, trailheads lead experienced hikers to untracked trails like 28.7-mile/46.2-kilometer Succor Creek/Leslie Gulch and 3.3-mile/5.3kilometer Juniper Gulch — offering solitude and epic views of the Jordan Valley. To experience a world of rare beauty, book a multiday trip to raft the Middle Fork of the Owyhee River. This river route reveals one of the most remote areas in the contiguous United States amid the sheer walls of a wilderness canyon teeming with wildlife.
