For people who travel in Northwestern America, Oregon is a state that shouldn't be missed.
Situated between the equator and the North Pole, Salem's climate is surprisingly Mediterranean, making it an ideal venue for open-air markets and outdoor events that grace this capital city with summertime fun and winter holiday cheer. Both adults and children alike enjoy the interactive village inspired by Salem resident and creator of the Erector set, known as A.C. Gilbert's Discovery Village. For nature lovers, the Minto-Brown Island Park provides 900 acres to bike, rollerblade or just stroll down miles of beautiful paths that are a heartbeat away from the action in this modern city which still respects its heritage.
Portland is blessed to be one of the most beautiful cities in the United States. Portland is built up against the hills and the Willamette River flows from the city of Salem to wind through downtown Portland. Driving across the many bridges into town creates a scene that is second to none. Waterfront Park is the center of many concerts and other activities. This park is located close to the down town area. There are miles of river front areas to walk on and rosebushes are everywhere. Portland is known as the city of roses and to celebrate this, a rose festival is held every June.
Moving south, you can fish for some trout in Crater Lake which is reportedly the deepest freshwater lake in North America. View the beautiful vistas of the Cascade Mountain range, then visit some of the Central region's stunning national parks where outdoor activities are plentiful. A key attraction is the Newberry Volcanic Flow Monument which contains an abundance of obsidian crystals and geodes.
Oregon changes quickly as you move across the countryside. The great redwood trees along the coastline are quite different from the Douglas-fir stands that cover the nearby mountains. Spectacular sites like Multnomah Falls can be seen from the roadway. However, you have to climb into the wilderness to experience the unique Devil's Staircase with it's myriad of plunge pools carved into sandstone.
The people living in Oregon enjoy the many outdoor activities in this beautiful state. Hiking, boating, fishing and camping are all enjoyed in the summer. Many people also love to ride the rapids on the many rivers running through this state. Skiing and many other recreational winter sports are easily taken advantage of in more than one Oregon location.
Even jaded golfers are stunned by the magnificent views and manicured courses that grace Oregon's landscape. From exclusive riverside clubs to friendly public fairways along the seashore, many golfers find themselves reluctantly leaving Oregon, muttering "This is golf as it was meant to be!"
Visitors tend to gush in their comments and use phrases like "relaxing atmosphere" and "surprising comforts" to describe even modestly priced accommodations in our beautiful state. The abundant fresh seafood elicits glowing reviews of favorite sushi bars. Poetic musings abound over local bakeries and romantic patio dinners.
