Oregon
A Pacific Northwest state of nature, combining a dramatic coastline, volcanic lakes and the distinctive city of Portland.
Oregon lies on the Pacific coast of the northwestern United States, with the Cascade Range dividing it into a wet west and a dry east. Portland is known for craft beer, coffee, food trucks and its rose gardens; the coastal highway strings together magnificent coastline such as the Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach; Crater Lake National Park holds a deep blue volcanic lake; the Columbia River Gorge has many waterfalls, and Mount Hood offers hiking and skiing; and the Willamette Valley is a Pinot Noir wine region. Summer is dry and sunny and the best time to visit. Portland International Airport is the main gateway.
