RV Road Trip; 100 Best Things to Do in Oregon 11/20

The state of Oregon is known for the diverse landscape. You will find forests, farms, mountains, and beaches within short distances from each other. The capital city is Portland, and you will find the city full of iconic shops and boutiques. Coffee shops abound, and you will be able to sample different beers at the many microbreweries. Farm-to-table restaurants will give you a taste of local cuisine, while art and historic museums will satisfy your knowledge about the past events there.

An interesting fact to note is that the capital, Portland has more breweries than any other city in the world! You will be able to choose from 60 within the city limits.

Known worldwide is the amazing Crater Lake, the deepest lake in the USA. These are just two of the many wonderful things you will find in this diverse state.

 

51. Pilot Butte

You will find this extinct volcano in Bend. It is easy to spot as it is almost 500 feet high. If you enjoy hiking, then this is somewhere you should try. There is a 1.8-mile trail around the base of the volcano, as well as a scenic road winding up and around the base. 

A point to note here is that 4th July there is always a firework display in the town of Bend, so if you plan to stay, book your accommodation in advance.

 

52. Columbia River Maritime Museum

This museum is dedicated to the history of travel up and down the Columbia River. You will find it in Astoria.
Self-guided tours are a good way to get familiar with the exhibits, and many of the displays are interactive, so great for children.
Allow yourself a morning to see the museum and gift shop and also the café where you can get a snack.

 

53. Tillamook Cheese Factory

You can take a self-guided tour, which includes many samples of the delicious cheese along the way.
Make sure you do not eat before you go, as there is a great restaurant/snack café where you can get the most amazing grilled cheese toast for lunch!
The tour will only take about two hours, but you can spend some time in the gift shop, before heading for lunch.

 

54. Mount Hood National Forest

This park is located in Welches. It runs from the Colorado River Gorge for more than 60 miles. You will find forest areas, mountains, lakes, and gentle flowing streams.
The views are spectacular and well worth a day trip from the city to enjoy them. There are some small towns between Portland and the Forest where you can stop for a bite to eat.

 

55. Hoyt Arboretum

The arboretum is in the western hills of Washington. It used to be known as Washington Park, but was renamed in 1922.
You will find over 6,000 trees and over 2,000 different types of shrub from all over the world. Many of the shrubs are endangered species. The plants are labelled so you can see the origins.
There are over 10 miles of trails, two of which are wheelchair friendly. There is a great visitor center where you can learn more about the center, and a delightful picnic area where you can eat lunch.
Be sure to look out for the Dawn Redwood tree, which was thought to be extinct.
