RV Road Trip; 100 Best Things to Do in Oregon 19/20

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.

 

91. West Coast Safari Park

This is a safari park with a difference, in that you walk through the park. The park opened in 1968, and you can see animals like the snow leopards, African lions, emu, cougars, and Bengal tigers.
There is a small petting zoo for younger children, as you can learn about the captive breeding program for the snow leopard.
Watch out for the two American black Bears, who took up residence in 2002.

 

92. Bagby Hot Springs

In the late 1800’s a prospector found these as he was searching for gold. He never found the gold, but did find the hot springs. He never developed them as they were remote. Now the springs are open for tours.
The spring water is channeled into the private tubs and bathhouses. The water is at a constant temperature off 136 degrees, so guests are given buckets of cold water to cool the spring water.
Be aware that there is a 1.2-mile hike to get to the springs. The views along the trail are spectacular and most people agree the trip is worthwhile, with the reward of a hot spring spa at the end.

 

93. Pioneer Courthouse Square

You will find this in the center of Portland. Dozens of events are held here during the year, including many free shows during the summer months.
The square is the venue for political rallies, and demonstrations, as well as speeches, so you may find an orator at any time you visit. On a brighter note, the city has hosted and all-night slumber party there, as well as a pillow fights!
Christmas is a great time to be there, see the lights, and watch the festivities.
Check out this site for upcoming events as they are frequently held through the year.
 

94. Cape Perpetua

You will find this in Yachats. It is well-known for the amazing sea views along the coast. ‘Dramatic splendour’ is literally an understatement here.
The area is called ‘Devils Churn’, and visitors are awed by the churning water of the ocean.
You need to park at the bottom of the hilltop, and then hike up to the scenic spot. It is a short hike and most people can manage it easily. They view from the top will be worth it!

 

95.Oregon City Municipal Elevator

This is one of those odd things that will not take long to see, but leave you impressed with construction.
The elevator connects two neighborhoods, and is the only outdoor elevator in the entire USA.
Be sure to stop at the top section and enjoy the view from the observation deck. The elevator is 130-feet high.
Surprisingly, this was included in the National Register of Historical Places, so it is worth getting a picture of it!
