Oregon is the land of mountains and coastlines. About 363 miles of the Pacific caostline is open to the public; highway 101 takes travelers all along the the scenic view. Many state parks are located along this western side of Oregon, offering sight-seers many opportunities to view the rustic Oregon coast. Some of these state parks are Beverly Beach State Park, Bullards Beach State Park, Cape Arago State Park, and Face Rock State Scenic Viewpoint.
A popular tourist attraction in Oregon is Mount Hood not only for the view but also for recreation. Four skiing places are available for those who enjoy to keep active. Delicious fruits are grown near Mount Hood because of the rich volcanic soil. The Columbia River Gorge is also a beautiful sight where visitors have the opportunity to go windsurfing.
This state also has country scenery in Willamette Valley. Farms are spread across the landscape, and produce stands are set up full with fresh fruits and vegetables.
In southern Oregon is the United States' deepest lake, Crater Lake. Hikers enjoy trekking through the forests and observing the beautiful scenery. Smith Rock National Park, in central Oregon, is also enjoyed by hikers and especially rock climbers. The adventuresome can use several of the thousand climbing trails this park has to offer.
In Hells Canyon, the deepest gorge in North America, tourists may go white water rafting and kayaking. As one can obviously see, the state of Oregon shows even more beauties of this country. If one has the opportunity to visit this state, do not pass it up!
