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.

 

86. Crater Lake Park

You will find the Crater Lake National Park in the Cascade Mountains, just south of Oregon. Look out for Wizard Island, which is a cone shaped island near the western side of the lake.
There is a great drive which will take you around the lake, sign posted ‘The Rim Drive’. This will give you super views of the volcanic formations.
There are many trails to hike or drive around the lake, namely the trail signposted ‘Sun Notch’, which gives you views of another small island.
Allow a full day for this trip, perhaps take a picnic lunch, and enjoy the outdoors.

 

87. Old Fort Road – Gravity Hill

You will find this strange phenomenon in Klamath Falls. You will notice that gravity seems to be in reverse here.
Make sure you take a bottle of water, pour it out on the road, and watch it roll uphill! Cars do the same thing here.
Locals have many reasons why this happens, and there is no scientific explanation to how or why it happens, but it draws thousands of visitors each year to try this out.
It will only take a short while to see this, but working out the reason may give you many sleepless nights!

 

88. Oregon Holocaust Memorial

This is in Portland, and it is dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust. The memorial is now owned by the American Jewish Committee, and is open daily for anyone who wants to reflect on the events.
Admission is free, and you should allow a half day to see this, afterwards take some time to see other things in Portland.

The park is filled with amazing sculptures which are sure to delight children and adults alike.
Keep a lookout for the giant witch in a tree, and the fairies who are hidden in the garden.
Plan to spend a day here, although kids will ask you to return the next day!

 

90. Crystal Springs Rhododendron Gardens

These botanical gardens are in Crystal Springs, and take their name from the Crystal Springs Creek which runs through the western side of the gardens.
