RV Road Trip; 100 Best Things to Do in Oregon 13/20

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.

 

61. Face Rock Scenic Point

The scenic viewpoint is in Bandon. The rocks along the coast have faces carved into them. You should head for the scenic lookout, which you can reach by taking the stairs. After that you can walk down to the beach.
The attraction here is the view of the rocks, as well as the caves and sea views. If possible, you should go there at sunset when the sun dips below the horizon.
You can take an RV and stay a few nights in the area.

 

62. Fort Clatsop

This memorial is dedicated to the Lewis and Clark Expedition during the winter of 1805/6. The encampment was made near to the mouth of the river. You will find this at the north end, about 5 miles southwest of Astoria.
While the original fortress was destroyed by fire, the new fort is a close replica of the old one.
Allow a half day to see the fort, before having a look around the town of Astoria, which is close by.

 

63. Lan Su Chinese Garden

This used to be known as the Portland Classical Chinese Garden. You may also read about it as the Garden of Awakening Orchards, because that is what you will find here.
The walled garden is to be found in the Chinatown area of Portland. If possible, you should try to see the garden in November, when it is filled with over 75 different varieties of Chrysanthemums of every shade and style you can imagine.
You will find there are always public tours available, and floral demonstrations. The garden regularly hosts the work of artists, so it is worth visiting.
Take a half day to look around this amazing garden.

 

64. Smith Rock State Park

This is a great park for walkers, hikers, or just casual ramblers. Try to get to the Misery Trail, which despite the name, has the most amazing views.
Many of the trails are only suitable for experienced hikers and climbers, so be sure you know what you are doing before attempting a rope climb.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the area is at higher elevation, and there is no water along the way. The Misery Trail will take you 2.5 hours, perhaps longer if you stop along the way for photographs.

 

65. Wreck of the Peter Iredale

You will find the wreck in Warrenton. At low tide you can walk out to it. The wreck is over 100 years old. The Peter Iredale was a steel barque ship with four masts that ran aground in 1906.
The wreck was never cleared due to the very soft sand, and is still where she ran aground, which makes it a very popular tourist attraction.
If you walk out to the wreck make sure you know when the tides change as currents around the wreck can be dangerous.
