About Oregon
Oregon is a land of volcanoes and deserts, forests and prairies, rainforests and ocean coastline. There's a little bit of everything in Oregon – anything you want to find is here. Mount Hood, the highest point in Oregon, is the home of world-famous downhill skiing and snowboarding. In fact, Timbertime Lodge at Mount Hood has year-round skiing for the true enthusiast. In addition, the varied landscape appeals to hikers, backpackers, rock climbers, boaters, rafters, wind-surfers and all lovers of outdoor adventure, no matter what time of year you choose to visit. The breathtakingly beautiful Crater Lake, in south, central Oregon, is truly a wonder of nature, a sight that even the most seasoned of travelers can't resist and won't forget. This is the land of Lewis and Clark, and you can begin your vacation experience at the end of the famous Oregon Trail. And while Oregon's natural beauty calls you to visit, don't forget the exciting and culturally-diverse offerings in Oregon's many cities, including Portland, Ashland, Salem, Eugene and Corvalis. The cultural influx of the high-tech, artistic and university crowds adds unique diversity to the cities of Oregon and results in a wide selection of cultural, scenic and artistic offerings for your vacation pleasure. Between the unparalleled scenic wonders, the unique artistic and cultural offerings and the rich historic background, you can find any kind of vacation you seek in Oregon. The Oregon motto is "we love dreamers," in part because Oregon is the stuff of which dreams are made.Local Color
