Oregon - What you need to know before you go - Go Guides

Oregon is the Pacific Northwest state where a host of natural wonders become a backdrop to a huge range of options for leisure and adventure in the Great Outdoors. Explore the home of the American beaver at the magnificent Crater Lake, or hike to Multnomah Falls and be rewarded with mountain air and a refreshing sight. The West Coast reflects Oregon’s versatile scenery, with a rocky coastline that leads to dunes and granite peaks.

Portland, Oregon’s major city, serves as a great base for enjoying one of America’s most beautiful states. Skiable slopes of the snow-clad mountains that loom over the city are popular winter haunts. You’ll also find some of the prettiest small towns and the best museums in America in Oregon.
