  Eastern Oregon   -   Adventure awaits you.
Eastern Oregon is a place of awesome beauty - from Hells Canyon's wildest rapids to the glimmering peaks of the Wallowas, from the rolling wheat fields of the Columbia River Plateau to the rugged breaks of Steens Mountain. The skies are wide and blue, and beautiful scenery unfolds around every bend in the road.
Miles and miles of open road punctuated by small towns with big personalities are waiting to be discovered. Stand in the ruts left by thousands of wagons headed west along the Oregon Trail. Help modern day cowboys round up cattle. Look for fossils in John Day and be sure to stop in at the major interpretive centers throughout the region offering visitors a chance to gain a better understanding of Oregon's history through the eyes of its Native peoples. This is a region for exploration and adventure, where visitors can paint their own experience in a watercolor landscape of distant purple mountains and the muted tones of the desert. See Eastern Oregon Visitor's Association
  Mount Hood / Columbia River Gorge
Mt. Hood, the tallest of Oregon's Cascade peaks, stands watch over the awe-inspiring Columbia River Gorge from a height of ll,239 ft.. The often-photographed glacier-glazed peak is home to year-round skiing and snowboarding. Run-off from its volcanic slopes enriches soil in the valleys below, which are famous for their production of pears, peaches, cherries, apricots and apples. One of the largest concentrations of high waterfalls in the nation spills forth from the cliffs and ledges that wall in the mighty Columbia River to create the nation's only national scenic area. See Clackamas County is Oregon's Mt. Hood Territory.
  Southern Oregon
Long recognized by the Hollywood set as the perfect getaway, Southern Oregon offers visitors a well -balanced mix of natural and cultural wonders.

Medford is home to both Harry and David's Country Village and the Jackson & Perkins Rose Garden. See Southern Oregon Visitors Association.
  Willamette Valley
Flanked by the Coast Range and the Cascades, the valley takes its name from the river that flows through it. Historic cities and towns, settled more than a hundred years ago by emigrants from all over the world, are found throughout the region, but the area is perhaps best known for its diverse agriculture, which includes all kinds of vegetables, fruits, flowers, herbs, nuts, hops, and Christmas trees. See Oregon Wine Country.
