TRAVEL OREGON VISITOR GUIDE

Welcome to Oregon

Who would imagine that a town of 37 residents would land on the map as a global destination for stargazing? That happened this past year in the Central Oregon town of Antelope — a former stagecoach stop that became the first United States Postal Service established in Oregon, in 1901.

With its sights on the stars, Antelope (and the city of Sisters, just south) joins a growing list of destinations in Oregon that are officially welcoming visitors to experience pristine night skies, thanks to a lack of light pollution. Visitors can look for guided stargazing experiences by park rangers and other experts who tell stories of the cosmos as well as keep you warm and safe — whether you’re gazing up from a lake, a trail or a cozy hut in the middle of a snowshoeing trek. You can continue your stargazing journeys farther south in the Oregon Outback, the largest International Dark Sky Sanctuary in the world, and at Oregon’s newest Dark Sky Park, Cottonwood Canyon State Park in Eastern Oregon.

These epic adventures are just part of what makes Oregon special. It’s the makers, crafters and stewards of the land who are constantly innovating to make it a better place for both residents and visitors for generations to come.

You’ll find passionate Oregonians who make leather hats and beaded artwork, plus artisan cheeses and world-class culinary creations served both at restaurants and at food trucks. You’ll find farmers, ranchers, winemakers and tour guides who will invite you into their spaces to experience the Oregon way.

Yearning for scenic wonders? Oregon has 363 miles of public coastline, more Wild and Scenic Rivers than any other state, and a brand-new Scenic Bikeway to join the other 17 — a 60-mile route that traces the undergrowth of the Willamette National Forest and the clear waters of the McKenzie and Willamette rivers. People with mobility challenges can now ride an adaptive mountain bike in the Willamette Valley, go tree climbing at Silver Falls and take a hike at Smith Rock with the help of an adaptive all-terrain wheelchair.

As you plan your next trip to Oregon, take time to slow down and seek beauty in the connections you make. Experience the backroads; try visiting in another season. Build in lots of extra time to visit the new, tree-filled terminal at Portland International Airport, featuring local shops, eateries and art. Know that you’re in good hands as you travel through our state, where all visitors are welcome.

seaside is for

Years from now you aren’t going to remember doing errands, school drop-offs or the feedback from Tuesday’s meeting. You’ll remember what you did for fun. So bring your crew to Seaside. Fly kites, ride bikes, take hikes, and rent a paddle boat that looks like a swan. Do all the things and take lots of pictures. So when you think back on that perfect time together you can text photos back and forth and re-live it all over again.

Go With a Guide

There’s no better way to experience Oregon than through the eyes of those who know it best. Guides provide the gear, instruction and expertise in a small-group setting to boost your confidence so you can go back out and try the activity yourself. Guides can help you access Oregon’s coolest adventures, from backpacking, cycling and paddling to wine tasting, snowshoeing and stargazing.

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, which connects the two namesake towns on a scenic stretch of a former railroad, was recently recognized as a National Recreation Trail. And the appropriately named Trail of Ten Falls showcases nearly a dozen waterfalls in Silver Falls State Park.

Looking for stellar views as you hike? Skip traffic, catch a shuttle to the foot of Multnomah Falls and hike to the top of the iconic waterfall in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge.

Nearby Angel’s Rest rewards hikers with sweeping views of the wider region. And after you’ve snagged your Central Cascades Wilderness Permit, hike to the lava-covered Little Belknap Crater, the tranquil shore of Green Lakes or the base of Broken Top near Bend.

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 AND 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 Airstream along the quiet riverbank at Valley of the Rogue State Park in Southern Oregon. Feel the warmth of sunrise 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 recently named to the growing list of International Dark Sky Places in the state, joining other areas like the 2.5-million-acre Oregon Outback International Dark Sky Sanctuary, the largest of its kind to date. Consider 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 decide to 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 like the Oregon Outback in Southern Oregon, 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 be sure to pack out whatever you packed in.

Visit TravelOregon.com/Camping and TravelOregon.com/Stargazing for more trip inspiration.

Cottonwood Canyon

WILDLIFE WATCHING

Oregon’s wild places 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.

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 new 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 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 new 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 can 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 can explore the snowy trails around Bend on a guided tour with Cog Wild.

SNOW SPORTS

If you’re seeking powdery slopes, there are 12 outstanding skiing and snowboarding areas to choose from in Oregon, from the steep and deep black-diamond runs at Mt. Hood Meadows and Mt. Bachelor to great venues for beginners, like Hoodoo Ski Area and Mt. Ashland. Resorts and ski shops offer lessons and equipment rentals — and can typically help arrange other wintertime activities like snowshoeing, tubing, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. To avoid the hassle of parking and driving in winter weather, consider taking public transit to the mountain. If you do drive, check TripCheck.com for weather and road conditions before heading out.

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.

Scappoose Bay

ACCESSIBLE ADVENTURES

Oregon’s natural beauty is here for everyone, with accessible fishing piers and assistive devices on beaches that make moving on sand easier. Our rushing waterfalls, verdant hiking trails and scenic viewpoints inspire people of all ages and ability levels. Here are several ways to find adventures in the outdoors, for whatever your mobility might be.

COASTAL CRUISING

Cruise along the beach in a wheelchair with burly, sand-worthy tires, which can be reserved at no charge in over a dozen towns on the Coast. Electric track chairs with tank-like treads (called a David’s Chair) are available for loan in several cities on the Coast. For current cities and reservations, visit DavidsChair.org. To see the waves up close, Mobi-mats for rolling through soft sand are available in the summer in Seaside, Lincoln City, Newport, Florence and Gold Beach.

WATERFALL WONDERS

Tucked in between the Coast and Cascade mountain ranges, the Willamette Valley is famous for its cascading waterfalls, and some of the most beautiful 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. In Oakridge Cascades Outdoor Center (part of Westfir Lodge) offers modifications to its tours for deaf and blind visitors.

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. Trips include guided cycling, mountain biking, Nordic and downhill skiing, snowboarding, and golfing. Based in Forest Grove, Adventures Without Limits offers similar adaptive recreation opportunities throughout the state. Axiomatic Fly Fishing in Salem can integrate American Sign Language into its guided fishing trips.

Guided adaptive snowshoeing on Mt. Hood with Adventures Without Limits

GORGE WANDER

The paved 10-mile/16-kilometer Riverfront Trail in The Dalles winds along the riverfront in the middle of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. It starts at the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum and ends at The Dalles Dam. Visitors enjoy the water and wildlife viewing and can detour at several entry points into downtown. Meander through the paved sections of the Historic Columbia River Highway, closed to vehicle traffic, or book a guided tour with Sasquatch Shuttle

JET BOATING

Several jet-boat companies accommodate guests with varying abilities by using wheelchair-accessible docks. From the coastal town of Gold Beach, Jerry’s Rogue Jets zips travelers up the Rogue River in stable, speedy jet boats. In Grants Pass, Hellgate Jetboat Excursions offers an immersion into the natural beauty of breathtaking Hellgate Canyon. Hells Canyon Adventures offers tours into the heart of Hells Canyon.

URBAN VISTAS

Accessible directly from Portland’s Hoyt Arboretum Visitor Center parking lot, the paved, mile-long/1.6-kilometer Overlook Trail weaves through open fields that give way to beautiful forested views. With more than 2,000 tree and shrub species, the arboretum offers something new every season, including incredible fall foliage.

PEACEFUL PADDLE

Accessible kayak launches offer easy access to peaceful waters. On the Coast, try Eel Lake and Tahkenitch Landing near Reedsport; Seaside’s Necanicum River; John Topits Park in Coos Bay; and marinas in Alsea, Toledo, Florence, Garibaldi and Wheeler. Elsewhere, head to Rood Bridge Park or Scappoose Bay Marina near Portland, Estacada Lake in Estacada, or Lake Billy Chinook at Cove Palisades State Park.

Oregon Adaptive Sports

David’s Chair

GOLF

Golf enthusiasts can tee off from more than 200 public courses in Oregon, which makes any corner of the state a delightful golf destination. Bandon Dunes Golf Resort’s Pacific Dunes was named the second-best public golf course in America by Golf Digest for its rugged design and natural feel. Central Oregon’s Tetherow, Pronghorn Golf Club at Juniper Preserve and Crosswater at Sunriver — all among the publication’s top 10 Oregon courses — offer tremendous views of the Cascade peaks. Book a tee time at classic spots like Mt. Hood Oregon Resort in Welches — Oregon’s first golf resort — or the Arnold Palmer-designed Running Y Resort in Klamath Falls. Golf enthusiasts will find the largest on-course pro shop in the U.S. at Fiddler’s Green in Eugene. At Eastern Oregon’s Silvies Valley Ranch, established in 1883, you can play through ponderosa pine meadows and mountain vistas on five courses that have some of the highest elevations in Oregon, and one of the only reversible championship courses in the world.

OREGON FOOD SCENE

Oregon is famous for its culinary scene, with numerous award-winning chefs and restaurants that welcome visitors. Oregon chefs brought home two James Beard Awards in 2024. Gregory Gourdet of Haitian-inspired Kann in Portland won the Best Chef: Northwest honor, while the Outstanding Restaurant Award went to Portland’s Langbaan, beloved for its fivecourse Thai tasting menu. Josh Dorcak’s Japanese-inflected Northwest cuisine at MÄS in Ashland and McMinnville’s Hayward, offering seasonal farm-to-table cuisine, were also nominated.

Two Portland restaurants made the New York Times’ coveted 50 Best Restaurants in America list in 2024: L’Orange, which marries French and Northwest culinary traditions, and Yaowarat, a Thai-Chinese spot founded by Langbaan’s owner, MÄS

Akkapong Earl Ninsom. Bon Appétit’s Best New Restaurants of 2024 included Indonesian Pasar and Swiss Alps-inspired Alpenrausch; Eater named Vietnamese newcomer Mémoire Cà Phê on its own list.

Pizza lovers can’t miss Portland’s Lovely’s Fifty Fifty — led by Best Chef Award winner and James Beard nominee Sarah Minnick — or 50 Top Pizza winner Ken’s Artisan Pizza, which has locations in Portland and Bend. Hood River’s Grasslands Barbecue was listed among the best spots for Texas barbecue outside of the Lone Star State by Texas Monthly. For something sweet, head to Cornet Custard, a new project from Mika Paredes and James Beard Awardwinning Portland chef Naomi Pomeroy, who passed away in 2024.

OREGON FOOD & FARM TRAILS

With 11 Oregon Food Trails and many more farm loops, visitors can enjoy a self-guided journey to some of the top local food and farm experiences the Pacific Northwest has to offer. 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, chardonnay and other cool-climate wines. The fertile region has nurtured more than 800 wine venues across a patchwork of 11 distinct growing areas. 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, wild rivers and sunny climes, Southern Oregon wines are as adventurous as the landscape. Visitors look forward to a range of varieties that thrive in warm weather — including Spanish and Italian varieties like tempranillo, albariño and sangiovese — from more than 150 producers near Grants Pass, Medford and Ashland. The Umpqua Valley’s Reustle-Prayer Rock Vineyards has won multiple awards, and Spangler Vineyards’ claret scored at the top of the 2024 Oregon Wine Awards.

Abacela winery

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.

For more information about Oregon’s wine regions and to learn how Oregon wines fly free on Alaska Airlines, visit OregonWine.org.

CIDER SCENE

Just as with Oregon’s world-class wine and craft-beer scenes, our ciders and pearbased perries are made with fruit from orchards in the Columbia River Gorge, Willamette Valley and Southern Oregon.

Every autumn the whole family can enjoy samples of fresh-pressed cider at Thompson’s Mills State Heritage Site near Albany.

Several cideries have new tasting rooms, including Talent’s Legend Cider, which opened a second location in La Pine, and La Familia Cider Company, now pouring its ciders in both Salem and Portland. Also with a new Portland tasting room, Bauman’s Century Farm Cider in Gervais continues a family tradition that dates back more than 100 years. Both Bauman’s and 2 Towns Ciderhouse in Corvallis won awards at the 2024 Northwest Cider Cup.

Watch for cideries partnering up with conservation organizations, like Avid Cider in Bend, which donated proceeds to wildlife and forest protection, and Wildcraft Cider Works of Yachats, formerly of Eugene, which sources some of its fruit from community apple drives.

Bauman’s Century Farm Cider

OREGON’S CRAFT BREWS

Oregon has been at the forefront of the country’s craft-beer revolution for decades, and the state’s industry today comprises more than 300 breweries and countless taprooms. Our award-winning breweries innovate with locally sourced ingredients and creative brewing methods. Each autumn, fresh hops appear in seasonal brews on tap.

In 2024 Astoria’s Obelisk Beer Co. won Best New Brewery and Fort George Brewery was awarded Best Brewpub Experience by the Oregon Beer Awards. In Portland Grand Fir Brewing took home the trophy for Best Small Brewery.

TASTING TRAILS

A number of official ale trails makes it easy to sip your way through the state’s top craft breweries. The Eugene Ale Trail takes visitors to more than two dozen regional tasting rooms, while the Bend Ale Trail includes a tour of nearly 50 high-desert breweries,

cideries and wineries — with its own special reward for designated drivers. Oregon’s North Coast Craft Beer Trail includes 15 breweries between Astoria and Pacific City. The Explore Tualatin Valley Tap Guide showcases 25 breweries and tap houses in the region west of Portland. Don’t miss the Breweries in the Gorge trail, which hits eight stops on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge.

Let an expert lead the way with behind-the-scenes tours, history lessons and tasting samples that show off Oregon’s craft-brewing past and present. Portland’s City Brew Tours offers a mix of public and private tours, and the 15-seat BrewCycle Portland lets you and a group of friends pedal between stops. In Bend the 14-seat Cycle Pub takes visitors between some of the city’s best breweries in the heart of the high desert.

SHOWING OUR SPIRIT

In recent years, passionate producers have spearheaded Oregon’s small-batch spirits revolution. Today you can try whiskey, gin and more in distilleries and tasting rooms across the state.

In Portland more than a dozen producers comprise Distillery Row. One highlight is Freeland Spirits, a woman-owned and operated distillery that produces gin and bourbon from local ingredients — and it just opened a new tasting room in Bend.

Also in Central Oregon, locally sourced ingredients like high-desert grains and Cascades-mountain water take center stage at Oregon Spirit Distillers in Bend. In the Willamette Valley, you’ll find award-winning bourbon, vodka and more at Ewing Young Distillery. Small-batch spirits made with local fruit and creative ingredients shine at Divine Distillers in Independence. Stop by the on-site restaurant to sample a rum flight or signature cocktails alongside live-fire cuisine.

Looking for nonalcoholic spirts? Try Hood River-based Wilderton Aperitivo Co.’s new citrus spirits in its distillery/ tasting room or Oregon-produced nonalcoholic spirits by Dhōs Spirits and For Bitter for Worse in markets across the state.

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

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.

Founded in 1959, Pacific City Dory Days is a June celebration of Pacific City’s unique fleet of dory boats, small openhulled craft that launch directly from the sand. Enjoy the historic boats and maritime culture with an annual parade and an artisan fair, as well as a fish fry where you can sample seafood caught from dories.

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.

Pacific City dory boat

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 a carnival, fireworks and the after-dark Starlight Parade. The signature event is the Grand Floral Parade, which features marching bands, equestrians, dancers and massive floats adorned with roses.

In 1954 Portland added another parade to its annual calendar: the Christmas Ships Parade. Head down to the banks of the Willamette River to watch boats decorated in colorful holiday lights dazzle their way along the water.

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.

COME AS YOU

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 Mill-Luck 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.

Tamástslikt Cultural Institute

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. 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 from many North American tribes. Don’t miss the award-winning Tamástslikt Cultural Institute, which shares the rich and storied history and culture of the tribes and chronicles the impact of western expansionism from a tribal point of view.

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. The recently revitalized, historic Kah-Nee-Ta Hot Springs Resort lets you soak in large outdoor natural hot springs right along the Warm Springs River. Native-owned Littleleaf Guide Service offers guided fly-fishing trips on the Deschutes, one of the premier rivers for trout and steelhead.

Portland International Airport

TRIBAL WOOD AT PDX

You might have noticed that in 2024 Portland International Airport (PDX) rolled out the first part of a two-phase renovation project. One key aspect of this redesign was the installation of a 9-acre ceiling made from locally harvested Douglas fir, much of which was sourced directly from local tribes. Two Oregon tribes — the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians and the Coquille Indian Tribe — provided to the project lumber harvested on their sovereign lands. The wood sourced from the Coquille Tribe was the result of federal legislation changes that returned forest-management authority to land-owning tribes. The Coquille Tribe was the first in the U.S. to regain control, allowing them to guide their land back to health after years of devastation due to industrial logging. The Coquille wood at PDX was part of their first timber sale under the new provisions.

Much of the lumber that came from the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Indians was milled from salvageable logs the tribe found during a massive cleanup effort that took place after a 2019 wildfire decimated 3,634 acres/1,471 hectares of the tribe’s land. Much of this salvaged wood is now part of PDX. “We can remember what we are able to do when we take care of the forest,” notes Carla Keene, who chairs the tribe. “We can rise from the ashes and make something good out of something bad that happened.”

No crowds. Not one, not two, but THREE National Park experiences await with 300+ days of sunshine!

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.

A FEW NOT-TO-MISS ATTRACTIONS

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. Play a few rounds under the gaze of icy volcanoes rising over tumbling rivers and sweeping grasslands. The region’s bountiful sunshine warms a diverse set of golf courses designed by some of the world’s best-known architects. Throughout Central Oregon, CentralOregonGolfTrail.com

Central Oregon Mural Trail

Experience a series of vibrant, handpainted murals boasting a “Greetings From...” theme inspired by vintage postcards that make for the perfect selfie backdrop to send to friends and family, showing off your adventures. Throughout Central Oregon, VisitCentralOregon.com

Head of the Metolius

This quick, half-mile/0.8-kilometer jaunt leads to the very source of the Metolius River burbling out of the ground. Enjoy views of the scenic river — one of the largest spring-fed rivers in the nation. Towering ponderosa pines and a gorgeous view of Mt. Jefferson complete the package.

Camp Sherman, Hikespeak.com/Trails/ Head-Of-The-Metolius-River-Hike-Oregon

High Desert Food Trail

Open year-round and self-guided, this trail features 48 unique farms, restaurants, businesses and markets that take you deeper into the high desert’s agricultural roots with stunning landscapes as a backdrop.

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

Hoodoo Ski Area

Perched high on the Santiam Pass 44 miles/71 kilometers west of Bend, this laid-back, family-friendly ski area has a large tubing park, 450 inches/11.5 meters of annual snowfall and Central

Oregon’s only night-skiing action. Watch for special ticket pricing on Thursdays starting in January. Sisters, SkiHoodoo.com

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

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 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 chicken wings and salads, a great way to cap off a day of adventuring. Set at the foothills of the Ochoco Mountains, Prineville is a treasure trove of great riding. 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 postride pint at Good Bike Co. Don’t miss the High Desert Food Trail, highlighting Central Oregon’s culinary culture with 48 stops at farms, ranches, 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 Sisters Saloon & Ranch Grill

At the 85th 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. Nearby Camp Sherman started as a summertime getaway for late19th-century urbanites. Today the little Metolius River community carries on that tradition of outdoor recreation with hiking, fly-fishing or just kicking back at a riverside cabin. After a day of exploring, head to the lodge at Black Butte Ranch for Northwest salmon and steak.

Sisters Rodeo

Wild Ride Brew Co. in Prineville

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, various destination resorts offer 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. The cross-country-style Bachy Trail links up with dozens of trailheads for miles of mountain biking. Hikers ride the lift on summer days to take a trail to the summit or enjoy the new Evergreen multi-use trail, which also allows cyclists heading downhill. The 18-hole 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.

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. The hard part is choosing where to play. You will need a Central Cascade Wilderness permit ahead of time to hike some of these trails, so be sure to check online. Comprising a total of 1.8 million acres/728,434 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 gains awe-inspiring views of Mt. Bachelor in an easy, 1.8-mile/2.9-kilometer route. A 7.7-mile/12.4-kilometer lollipop to Swampy Lakes offers a moderate day hike through wildflower fields and past cascading waterfalls. Fly-fishers cast for trout and bass at Davis Lake, Lava 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. Wherever you wander, don’t forget to plan ahead and see where wilderness permits are required.

Browse downtown shops like Clementine Urban Mercantile and Lone Crow Bungalow for rustic home decor. The Old Iron Works Artist District is a creative enclave of working artists’ studios and handcrafted wares, and the Old Mill District offers scores of national-brand shops. Taste the beer that helped launch Oregon’s craft-beer revolution at Deschutes Brewery, just one of 30 breweries and 17 other stops along the Bend Ale Trail. Grabbing a pint at one of these award-winning spots is the perfect way to end a day. Bend is an ideal launch point for a summertime innertubing, kayaking, whitewater-rafting or stand-up paddleboard excursion.

Snowshoeing on Tumalo Mountain

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’s 124 runs, 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 midNovember 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 rental for fat-biking bliss.

Gateway to Crater Lake

Just standing on the rim of this 7,700-year-old caldera and looking down into the lapis lazuli-hued waters of 183,000-acre/74,057hectare Crater Lake is the experience of a lifetime. But its gateway communities on Highways 62 and 97 on the southeastern side of the park are worthy of a visit, too. Here you can explore mesmerizing lakes and rivers, and contemplate the art, culture and history of communities like Chiloquin and Fort Klamath. Wood River and Spring Creek in Chiloquin are ideal for paddlers and anglers. Sky Lakes Wilderness Adventures in Chiloquin has rentals and can even arrange for private tours.

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.

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.

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.

Mountain biking near Oakridge

Four Seasons of Wine World-famous for its pinot noir but also rich in dozens of other varietals like pinot gris, chardonnay and riesling, Willamette Valley wine country offers an astonishing number of choices and an always friendly welcome. With more than 800 wine venues to sample from, it’s lucky that the wine scene here is a year-round affair. Springtime brings mild weather and cherry blossoms, a fantastic time to explore the wineries’ new releases. Summertime’s warm days and nights are ideal for taking in patio views. Things get cozy in fall with harvest season and Thanksgiving specials, when wineries invite visitors to snuggle up with blankets, heaters and fire pits on their outdoor patio spaces. Winter is known as cellar season, with intimate settings to sit, sip and get to know the winemakers. For ongoing events, visit WillametteValley.org.

Hood River

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 get off the beaten track, discover the region’s lesserknown delights, and visit during fall, winter and spring. Whatever you do, you’re sure to be shaped forever by your visit here.

This exhibit chronicles the story of the 73-mile/117.5-kilometer Historic Columbia River Highway. 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.

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 art galleries, craft brews 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 Tierra de Lobos Winery. 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 craft beverages at Time Travelers Brewing, Stone Circle Cider and Bent Shovel Brewing

Artists’ Way

The dramatic natural landscapes of the Columbia River Gorge and Mt. Hood National Forest have inspired an outpouring of expression from artists of all mediums. In Troutdale renowned sculptor Rip Caswell captures the grace of wild creatures in his signature bronze work, is displayed at the Troutdale Art Center and around the city’s charming downtown. You can see his work, alongside other local artists’, during Troutdale’s monthly First Friday art walks. 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. At Greene Bronze in Cascade Locks, bronze artist Heather Greene runs one of the first woman-owned foundries in the U.S. The Hood River BIG ART Walking Tour is a self-guided exploration of 18 arresting outdoor installations around town, while the artist-owned gallery Art on Oak displays work made from metal, glass, ceramics, fibers and more. The Dalles Art Center offers classes and regular exhibits in all mediums, while the nearby 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 29 stops at orchards, lavender farms, wineries, U-pick blueberry patches and more. Stop at Mt. View Orchards and Grateful Vineyard for the apples and pears, and stay for the farm-to-table dinners. 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 check out farm stays and farmer-for-a-day opportunities at Old McDonald’s Farm

Cultivating Culture

With Lewis and Clark, the Oregon Trail and the Historic Columbia River Highway, this region has long been a magnet for some of history’s momentous characters. Fort Dalles Museum, a remnant of an 1856 military installation, preserves stories of trail pioneers. The nearby Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum chronicles the tale of the Lewis and Clark expedition as well as the history of the original residents — 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. In Government Camp, history buffs will appreciate the historic photos, books and objects — like a ski-lift chair from 1939 — at the Mt. Hood Cultural Center & Museum, with expansive mountain views. Bigfoot fans can geek out at the North American Bigfoot Center in Boring, with artifacts and interactive exhibits for all ages.

Sensational Sipping

There must be something in the water. Breweries, wineries and cideries keep multiplying with delicious results. You can 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 (home to Wilderton Aperitivo Co., a nonalcoholic distillery) 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 tasting rooms like Boring Winery in Boring, Wines on Second in The Dalles, and dozens of other wineries in Hood River and Mosier. Hood River’s Hood River Distillers offers explorations in whiskey, vodka and bourbon.

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 Easy CLIMB 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.

TRIP IDEAS

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

Destination Downtown

Downtown Portland is a vibrant hub of shopping, dining, parks and performance halls all crammed into one energetic neighborhood. You’ll find creative, delicious eats at numerous food-cart pods and no shortage of places to admire the city’s iconic bridges over the Willamette River. From Pioneer Courthouse Square near the elegant 19th-century courthouse, a stroll along the Park Blocks leads past the venerable Portland Art Museum and the classic Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, one of five venues that make up Portland’5 Centers for the Arts. Farther east, Tom McCall Waterfront Park offers a path for walkers 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. The hip West End and Pearl District are a shopper’s paradise with scores of unique boutiques, Oregon designers and one-of-a-kind makers.

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 21 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 Oregon City, you’ll find a picturesque tasting room filled with rare tropical plants at Villa Catalana Cellars and scenic sipping on the patio at Christopher Bridge Wines. To the southwest, the Tualatin Valley offers scores of options like Alloro Vineyard in Sherwood and Sidereus Vineyard & Winery in Cornelius.

Division Winemaking Company

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 Assembly Brewing; 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. Stroll the Portland Japanese Garden, with eight distinct authentic Japanese-style gardens, or Hoyt Arboretum, with 2,000 species of trees and 12 miles/19 kilometers of trails. 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, Oregon’s 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.

Bandon

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.”

A FEW NOT-TO-MISS ATTRACTIONS

TRIP IDEAS

Summer beachcombing and winter storm watching. Classic road trips and hidden getaways. Food trails, art trails and miles of hiking trails. There are so many ways to explore the rich offerings of the Coast. These trip ideas will get you started.

Grand 101 Adventure

Stretching from Astoria in the north to Brookings in the south, Highway 101 winds for 363 miles/584 kilometers of stunning ocean views, soaring cliff lines and charming coastal towns. Just driving the Pacific Coast Scenic Byway is a thrill, but it’s important to slow down and enjoy the dozens of communities, scenic pullouts and state parks along the way. We recommend at least four days to explore the region. You’ll get to know the North Coast’s wildlife areas and crabbing spots; the Central Coast’s scenic beaches; and the teeming tide pools, rugged sea stacks and hidden coves of the South Coast. More than 80 state parks are tucked in along Highway 101, with standouts like Fort Stevens State Park , Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park and Shore Acres State Park. Don’t miss the scenic viewpoints at Cape Meares Lighthouse, Cape Perpetua Scenic Area and Face Rock State Scenic Viewpoint.

North Coast Escapes

Some of the North Coast’s best-kept secrets are hidden in plain sight. At Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, visitors can learn about the rich natural world of the Columbia River Estuary. Hike the 1.5-mile/2.4-kilometer Lewis and Clark River Trail to experience the diverse ecosystems. South of Cannon Beach’s iconic Haystack Rock, beachcombers will find a hidden seasonal waterfall cascading onto the beach at Hug Point State Recreation Site. Walk the 4-mile/6-kilometer strip of the Bayocean Spit for views of the ocean, Tillamook Bay and paragliders soaring aloft. Consider visiting the North Coast in winter, or try heading farther south to escape the summertime crowds. Help reduce impacts by volunteering for a beach cleanup day with SOLVE or for trail maintenance with Trailkeepers of Oregon.

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 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.)

Jet-boat tour on the Rogue River

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.

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 101, which creates fabulous sculptures out of trash.

Public art in Cannon Beach

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.

Where happy memories have been made for almost fifty years. Every room is oceanfront. Suites with full kitchens. Full-service venue for weddings and events. New to the property is The Market & Dine-in Deli at Driftwood Shores with provisions and oceanfront seating. Doggie friendly rooms too!

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.
