Our Natural Beauty
Mountain
All these ancient peaks can leave you pretty starstruck. And it’s not just because you’re that much closer to the sky. You’ll be inspired by the majesty of Mt. Hood’s towering spires, the craggy tips of the Three Sisters, the Steens Mountain’s deep gorges, the bird’s-eye view from the Wallowas and all the awe-inspiring ranges in between.

Valley
What’s better than a chance to pet a cuddly goat or alpaca, sip a glass of wine and pick up a flat of berries to go — all in the same place? How about a leisurely bike ride along quiet back roads, taking in the malty aroma of hop farms and stopping for a brew along the way? Or pitching a tent under the stars in a forest of Douglas fir, with world-class mountain-bike trails, hiking trails and waterways for paddling at your fingertips? You can do it all in the Willamette Valley. Here’s where to find your bliss.
Coastal
It doesn’t get much more coastal than this region. And thanks to a pioneering beach bill, all 363 miles of Oregon’s coastline remain free and public. That means endless opportunities to comb for agates or glass floats, catch your own Dungeness crab or razor clam, watch for whales, seals and puffins, make footprints in the sand or simply be captivated by a winter storm from inside a cozy beachfront lodge. No matter the season, the Oregon Coast is a rejuvenating getaway.
Metropolitan
Portland, Oregon’s largest city, sits on the Columbia and Willamette rivers, in the shadow of snow-capped Mount Hood. It’s known for its parks, bridges and bicycle paths, as well as for its eco-friendliness and its microbreweries and coffeehouses. Iconic Washington Park encompasses sites from the formal Japanese Garden to Oregon Zoo and its railway. The city hosts thriving art, theater and music scenes
