RV Road Trip; 100 Best Things to Do in Oregon 8/20

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.

 

36. Vista House

You will find Vista House up at Crown Point, Corbett, with a spectacular view looking down to the Columbia River. It was built in 1918 and serves as a spot where weary travelers could stop and admire the view.
It is still a unique stopping point in a journey. It is along America’s oldest highway and was the way people travelled along the Oregon Trail.
An interesting point is that the project never receives any state funding; it was funded entirely by the Multnomah County, and local school children.
Plan a stop here in any journey past it, the views themselves are worth a million dollars.

 

37. Pittock Mansion

You will find this Renaissance style mansion in the west hills of Portland. It was originally built in 1909 as a private home. The 46-room house on 46 acres is now owned by the city, and is open to the public.
The architecture is mostly Victorian and French Renaissance, with the most amazing views of downtown Portland.
To view the house will take a half a day, although you may want to spend longer in the gardens.

 

38. Tamástslikt Cultural Institute

You will find this Indian Museum in Pendleton. It is the only museum in Oregon which is run by the tribes who have lived there for generations.
This is one of the very few places where you will be able to learn about the lifestyle of the tribe over the years.
Look out for traditional artwork and ancient tools in the collections. Read about the food the people used to eat, and listen to traditional music.
Allow yourself a day to see all that is in the museum.

 

39. Beverly Cleary Sculpture Garden

You will find this park in Portland. Look for the three statues depicting a boy, his dog and a small girl splashing in a puddle. They are all characters in the book written by Beverly Cleary. She is a very well-known children’s author.
The author grew up in the area, and many of her books are based on the neighborhood.
Be sure to look for the tiles around the fountain, which are all engraved with the titles of her books.
While it will not take too long to look at this, there are many more things to see in the area, so plan to spend a day there.

 

40. Oregon Shakespeare Festival

Every lover of Shakespeare should be sure to have this on a ‘to-do’ list. The season lasts from mid- February until the start of November and in that time the theatre produces 11 plays on its three stages.
The theatre, which is in Ashland, saw its 20 millionth visitor in 2015. If you want to see a show, you should book in advance as seats fill quickly.
