RV Road Trip; 100 Best Things to Do in Oregon 12/20

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.

 

56. Lincoln City Cultural Centre

You will find the center in the middle of Lincoln City. There is an art gallery, arts auditorium, and a very well stocked gift shop. Volunteers run the center, with local artists displaying and selling their crafts.
In the summer months the Lincoln City Farmer’s Market is held outside, while in the winter months it moves inside the complex.
Plan to spend a day there, when the market is on, as this is well worth visiting.

 

57. Chocolate Waterfall

You will find this in Portland. If you are a chocolate lover, then this will seem like paradise for you! It is one of the largest and oldest chocolate fountains in the world.
The fountain was built in 1991, and stands 21 feet high, dripping with 2700 pounds of chocolate.
Unfortunately, the chocolate is not to be sampled, as it is over four years old. However, right across from the fountain you will find a delightful shop called the Candy Basket, where you can buy as much chocolate as you can eat!
Look out for the ‘Oops’ section in the shop. These are candies which are misshaped, and normally sell at half price.

 

58. Old Portland Underground

You may also hear these called the Shanghai Tunnels. They are in Portland, and run mostly underneath Chinatown and Old Town. They were originally used to move loads from the ships to basement storage areas.
Over the years they have been used as brothels, opium parlors, and gambling dens, although now there are tours through them by reputable companies.
A tour will take you a morning or afternoon.

 

59. Rose Test Garden

This is a ‘must see’ for anyone who loves roses. It is in Portland, and you will be able to see over 8,000 roses. Needless to say, the air smells divine!
This is a great place to take a picnic basket, sit among the roses, and enjoy the aroma.
Make sure you check for upcoming events as these are often held in the garden.
Parking is free, and occasionally there are open air music events. Spend a relaxing morning here, and then head down to the zoo which is close by.

 

60. High Desert Museum

You will find this museum near Bend. It was opened in 1982, and is filled with wildlife of the area, along with exhibits of local art and culture.
The exhibits are inside and outside the museum, so be sure to take appropriate clothing.
Try to be there when the living history demonstrations take place, as these are very informative.
Plan to spend a day here.
