Oregon

Crater Lake National Park, Multnomah Falls, Smith Rock State Park, The Painted Hills, The Cascades

Hiking, camping, fishing, bicycling, bird watching, visiting museums and parks.

The state has a generally mild climate, with warm summers and cool winters. However, the weather can vary greatly depending on location. For example, the coastal areas are usually cooler and wetter than the inland areas.

Pack clothing that can be layered, as the weather can change quickly. Be sure to pack comfortable shoes for all the hiking and walking you'll be doing. And don't forget your raincoat!

That depends on what you want to do while you're here. The summer is a great time to enjoy all of the outdoor activities Oregon has to offer. However, if you want to experience the famous Oregon Coast, the best time to come is during the winter months when storm watching is at its peak.

Again, that depends on your interests. If you want to be in the thick of things, staying in Portland would be your best bet. However, if you're looking for a more relaxed vacation, there are plenty of charming small towns located throughout the state.

The food scene in Oregon is incredibly diverse. You'll find everything from farm-to-table cuisine to street food from all over the world. And of course, no trip to Oregon would be complete without trying some of the state's famous craft beer and wine.

Oregon is a large state with a lot to see and do. Be sure to plan your trip in advance so you can make the most of your time here. And don't forget to pack your sense of adventure!
